Here's what I'd like to hear Obama say about McCains 'Johny come lately' committment to 'change.'

The single most significant example of sexism in the primary campaign was the John Edwards haircut story.

I say it was sexist because a woman getting a $400 haircut wouldn't even have been a blip on the radar--it was only because he was a man that it was such a big story. He was called things like "prettyboy" because of that story.

I say it was the most significant example of sexism because I guarantee you that story got more minutes of media play than all the examples in the NOW list combined. And I guarantee you it had a more negative impact on Edwards campaign than all the examples on the NOW list combined had on Clinton's campaign.

So where's the outrage? Why did NOW fail to even mention THAT story?

In a stunning reversal from his previous silence on the issue, Barack Obama today came out strongly against cannibalism, telling an Associated Press reporter--

I don't support cannibalism.

A Real Democrat is sitting in a cafe drinking a mocha latte and reading The Nation when a Concern Troll walks in. The Concern Troll is busily wringing his hands while his eyes furtively glance about--he has a very worried look on his face. He approaches the Real Democrat and The Conversation begins below the fold.

At the recent Miss Teen USA pagent Miss South Carolina was asked the question, "Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?"

Her answer: "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us."

I couldn't believe that answer when I heard it... until I remembered that S.C. is a red state.

This explains everything.
