However, he will be replaced by this brilliant, legal mind. Maybe she should change her name to Token, like that character on South Park. In many ways this is just a switch out for Sutter.

I see my fellow latinos falling all over themselves in support of Sotomajor yet I know of not one person who can explain why she would make such a fantastic justice. Oh, wait, other than that she is a Latina and bring some latin sensibility to the court. Whoa. That people believe that is a good thing makes me cringe with worry for all people. It strengthens my resolve to get my children into the good old fashioned private school that I found in my area. This is like Election 2008 all over again with the race BS.

And Obamy never claims himself to be the first black editor. Others claim it for him. And it is probably just a coincidence that the title changed at exactly the moment in time when it would provide the greatest advantage to Obamy in his effort to transparently reveal his background to the public. So, of course, it isn't a lie. And if somebody misinterprets the information that could have been revealed with a few or a few dozen letters to Harvard's legal department, then it isn't Obamy's fault that the reader didn't do the proper research. Anybody who wasn't willing to do the research didn't deserve to know such picaune details anyway.

It is too bad that color and race are the norm instead of competence and worthiness. Another first to add to his “Highness” list: First Anti-American to hold the office of President.

Perhaps he asked for that title so he wouldn't have to do any editing or writing?
