SCOTUS
VIDEO: Justice Samuel Alito has a judicial activist moment during the State of the Union address
Last year it was Joe Wilson screaming "you lie" to Obama. This year it's none other than allegedly impartial and free of bias Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.
The example of strict constructionist judicial unbias shows his true colors to the whole world by disagreeing with Obama's criticism of the Supreme Court's decision to lift the limits on corporate political contributions by expanding the definition of corporate personhood.
Watch it!

The irony of brown-skinned white supremacists

White supremacists come in all colors and Michelle Malkin absolutely proves it --along with Clarence Thomas, by the way.
Never mind that Judge Sotomayor was part of a unanimous appeal in the Second Circuit that wanted to uphold precedent. Never mind that Sotomayor and all the other judges felt for the firefighters and were sympathetic to their cause (aka, had empathy), yet they still were looking at the facts based on legal precedence. Never mind that Justice Ginsburg, in her dissent believes that "The Courts' order and opinion ... will have no staying power" (pages 55-56 of PDF of SOTUS decision)
In the eyes of race bater, white supremacist yet brown-skinned filipina like Michelle Malkin, Sonia Sotomayor is a racist.

LOLitics : The Reverse Racism Edition
Inspired by the oppression complaints of the marginalized white men known as Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh, I decided to we needed to have a LOLitics contest of the reversed racism kind. I haven't laughed this hard in a while
Here's a show of the submissions. You have until 7PM to participate:
Have you oppressed a white man yet?

As a Puerto Rican black woman with a graduate education and a new media platform in the form of a blog, it is my duty to rally my people into a frenzy of il-advised yet necessary reverse racist shenanigans. It is the Puerto Rican Woman Of Color's (aka, PRWOC) burden to bring meaning and a sense of purpose to the lives of oppressed white men like Newt Gingrich.
So please, let's make sure that we get on with the program of alienating, belittling and oppressing that most fragile of ethnic and gender groups in the United States, the disgraced former lawmaker and republican ex-speaker of the House. Let's make sure that we play our manifest destiny of bringing oppressive woe to the likes of Newt Gingrich.
And if you do a funny pic like the one above, you get to win a culturekitchen FOCK t-shirt.
