Clark, Dean Urge Rush Limbaugh’s Firing I wasn’t going to comment on this at all but after seeing the above headline, I just couldn’t resist. Talk about some old-school, pandering bullshit! First of all, I saw Limbaugh’s comment live and in context and felt there was absolutely nothing racist about it, then or now. The
Not to be all starstruck stupid or anything but how cool is it that Jessica Rydill, author of Children of the Shaman, not only read through my blog but dropped me a note in the guestbook? It’s VERY cool is what it is. 🙂
