“So Sambo beat the bitch!”

Those words were uttered by none other than the Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, when she was sitting in a restaurant with some friends according to TBogg via LAProgressive, which is linked in the first line. From LAProgressive:

This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.

“It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, said in a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of being discovered telling folks in the “lower 48″ about life near the North Pole.

Then, almost with a sigh, she added, “But that’s just Alaska.”

No dear woman, that’s a big part of America…still racist after all these years, but they keep it on the lowdown.

Read the rest to see how she’s vindictive and mean….really mean. And she wants to be the Vice President of the United States.

We already have a pack of racists and bible-thumping meanies in the current administration, do we need another four years of them?

Ummm..no, we don’t.

L. F. Eason III, american hero

It’s easy to forget what principle and conviction and honor look like, but this man reminds me. Mr. Eason, an employee of North Carolina’s Agriculture Department, refused to fly the flag at half mast after the death of avowed racist and bigot Jesse Helms. In return, he was forced to take early retirement from a job he loved.

My hero of the day, L. F. Eason III. If only we had public financing for elections, this man could take his courage to Washington and take on the lowlife scum oozing all over that city.

Update: NPR interviewed Mr. Eason; you can listen here. Predictably, he’s had a death threat ~ “thinly veiled” ~ via newspaper comments responding to one of the articles. Otherwise, he reported that people have been very supportive. Could there be hope for us?
