Part of an AP Report from today's Salon Headlines:
"They have made a living telling black people they are victims," the HUD secretary said in an interview with The Associated Press. "As long as they keep them in victim mode, they have liberals who will take care of them."

Because liberals are the ones that keep the zoo where all the black people dwell? Am I the only one who reads it that way?

I just finished watching The Daily Show on Comedy Central. Seymour Hersch was on promoting his new book. He said that things have been going on at Guantanamo Bay Prison since 2002 that make the pictures from Abu Ghraib seem tame.

There are no words.

The observation that sometimes the "helping professions" deliberately sabotage the people they are meant to help, so that they don't work themselves out of a job, is a reasonable one. It's a particularly common rant, I gather, among politically conscious handicapped people.

This actually came up in class today. My new professor (for Communication) is also the ethics prof.
