Canadian media watch: Out of all the dailies, the Globe and Mail was the first to say what we've all been saying for the past few days. This is about class and race. On their front cover. It's exceedingly obvious, of course, but none of the other papers seem to have brought it up.

Via Making Light and a bunch of other places: This graphic's been going around.

Via kynn: The National Guard won't let the Red Cross into New Orleans.

I find it hurtful and offensive when people call me racist, homophobic and all the other things merely because i'm a republican.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA. aw poor baby. maybe you shouldn't be a racist and a homophobic asshole and hang around and support racists and homophobes?
