Rather than feign disgust, I'm more amused at the rantings of blogger Kenneth Eng. A published blogger, for some reason finding a home on http://news.asianweek.com.
Perhaps someone thought his periodic rants were humorous, akin to OCWeekly.com columnist Gustavo Arellano's tongue-in-cheek "Ask a Mexican".

No, both AsianWeekly & Kenneth Eng fail miserably to contribute to race discussion or humor. I suppose if he had a single complete thought he might be provocative, nah, he's simply a moron.

Read enough? I rest my case.

Lady Liberty Revenge
I had to laugh at this float used in a Carnival celebration in Germany.
Do you know anyone who's civil liberties have declined, and I mean real civil liberties - not imagined. What's an imagined liberty? Well, when people perform a financial transaction, such as a purchase or phone call - what makes them think the details of this transaction are private? Was it because they used a public network, or a public company to do the deal? Just exactly when were we lulled into this false sense of what is entitled to privacy and what is not.
Privacy and Racism are probably the most misunderstood & abused terms today.

Iran Blame Game
Iran's secretive Quds Force has been behind numerous attacks in Iraq, the military first making the link asumed this elite force was working under the direction of the Irania gov't. Not an unreasonable, quick, conclusion. Bush refused to make this link, and rightly so.
Journalists in a feeding frenzy saw this difference of analysis as another example of faulty information - a feeble attempt to link this event to faulty pre-war intelligence gathering.
The media just can't help it, incapable of independent analysis, they can only absorb a story if it's likened to another - or is that just us, the reader?

An American Saint?
The National Jewish Democratic Council is upset with Mit Romney's decision to hold a presidential fund raider at the Henry Ford* Museum in Detroit. Because of Ford's anti-semitism he cannot be recognized for his other contributions to our culture and history.
So perhaps, instead Romney should have associated himself with an American saint who's character was beyond reproach. But then again, just being Catholic is an egregious offense.
Yeah, Ford was a wacko, can't even blame it on eccentricity, he simply was crazy enough to believe bizarre 'old-world' demonizations of Jews. Pretty ironic for a man who wanted immigrants from Europe to forget the 'old-world' ways and embrace the 'new worlds' approach.
Ford gave us a few things; automation, 8 hour work day, etc, but he did not give us anti-semitism.
I wonder, is Wagner was playing during Romney's event? Hmmm....
Interesting side note:
Here's a Confederate $2 bill featuring Judah Benjamin, a highly successful Louisiana** politician who found slavery an easy practice to support.
Do we not all have character flaws, some deeper than others?
Can we honestly judge the past with today's moral compass?
* Disclosure: I am a Ford stock holder.
** Disclosure: My father is from Louisiana.
I feel like I'm running for office!

BidenGate - Time to Come Clean
Sen. Biden finds himself in hot water after calling Obama "The first mainstream African-American that is Clean & Articulate". Another case where truth gets one in trouble. Consider that the comparison is really to Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton because the other black candidates were largely unknown, thus not mainstream.
Atriculate: Is this to say Jackson or Sharpton are not intelligent? No, simply that Jasckson is gutterral and Sharpton brash.
Clean: Lipstick on a pig is still a pig - Jackson and Sharpton are media whores that have their share of scandal - even if they wear suits when whoring.
This leaves Obama, simply put; he's GQ & well spoken - happy now?!?!?
