Commentary on Mark Sanford Scandal

From a Gawker commenter:

In all fairness to his aides, "I'm getting some Argentinian tail" sounds a lot like "I'm hiking the Appalachian trail" when you're on a fuzzy satelite phone connection. Who hasn't had that kind of innocent misunderstanding?

Also, as Moye notes that he writes like a girl, and Kate's tweet on the subject is pretty much how I feel about it all. Of course Fox News covered the story in their typical "Fair and Balanced" manner by switching this Republican governor's party affiliation.

NRA Giving Sarah Palin Special Alaska-themed Assault Rifle

Later this month Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will receive a custom assault rifle, a "civilian version" of a modified M-4 rifle from the National Rifle Association. What glorification of gun culture?

Am I the only way that feels this way? When it comes to the popular culture and mainstream media spin on these matters, black people, so the story goes, plus guns equals thuggery and violence. White people plus guns equals standing up for the Second Amendment, our right to bear arms, and FREEDOM, gosh darnnit!
