I just came across David Yeagley's risque post over at Bad Eagle. I wish I could have included it in my previous post on Obama's Many Writers.

That was all “white,” too. The Caucasians are apparently culturally immune to their own rebuffs. It is a lavishly self-correcting race, at least up until now.And
Ah, but things are indeed different now, since January 20, 2009. (Mabye since August 27, 2008.) Only beauty and dignity are allowed in the White House. Only loveliness and good will.Very good.
