Words to live by
What distinguished [Mr. McCain's] posse from Mr. Obama’s throng was not just its age but its demographic monotony: all white and nearly all male. For Mr. McCain, this albatross may be harder to shake than George W. Bush and Iraq, particularly in a faceoff with Mr. Obama. When Mr. McCain jokingly invoked the Obama slogan “I am fired up and ready to go†in his speech Tuesday night, it was as cringe-inducing as the white covers of R & B songs in the 1950s — or Mitt Romney’s stab at communing with his inner hip-hop on Martin Luther King’s birthday. Trapped in an archaic black-and-white newsreel, the G.O.P. looks more like a nostalgic relic than a national political party in contemporary America. A cultural sea change has passed it by.

...allow me to point out that though I'm on the record as thinking your contributions here are not to my taste, yet I still think it's appropriate for you to post here. You may have an unpopular point of view, and one which I personally think is so much chaff, but nobody is considering taking away your ability to post here or to censor your content.
That said, this ability to post here is extended to you with the intent of fostering discussion. That is not served by a diary stub which can't be appreciated unless one follows you to another blog. Rather, that concept is known as blog pimping, and this is not the place for it.
So please post your full diary here, with a link back to your blog if you like, or I'll be forced to remove this posting.
