“Think some Black Panthers and SEIU thugs are assembling for some voter intimidation?”

No, Tom, but I think you're a racist who gets childishly excited by the thought of racial violence.

Notice how “thug” has become the preferred substitute for the N word. This last year, white Republicans have truly embraced “thug” as the dog-whistle of choice.

The all-white Brooks Brothers rioters from 2000, of course, were the wrong skin color to be labeled “thugs” — they were just All-American white, wealthy populists. Of course.

On Obama visits Boston in bid to save Senate seat, health vote

Obama's too liberal? He expanded and gave bipartisan blessing to Bush/Cheney anti-terror policies, escalated our wars in the Middle East, and he killed true health care reform by caving to the insurance lobby.

Too liberal. Yeah, that's it.

On Obama simply too far left for America

@ jonas_opines@1:31 — Yes, this thread is especially vicious and dumb. I think some people can't process the scope and hideousness of the tragedy so their brain immediately goes to a selfish/childish place and they do all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify not caring (“they're illiterate!” “it's vodoo” “wish it were 'Frisco! Ha!”).

That's the charitable interpretation anyhow. I think a lot of them are simply racist.

On Earth’s cruelty rains down on Haiti

“I wish it was San Fran instead.”

First of all, while this Haitian earthquake is a big goldmine for comedians like yourself, I can understand your choice of a safe San Francisco reference opening. We all know what “San Francisco” means! LOL!

But seriously, it's *so* hilarious that you want over 100,000 Americans killed in a devastating earthquake. I assume 9/11 was an awesome day for you. Such a good American … .

“These terrorists do not comply with any of the Geneva Conventions or other Laws of War and as such are not deserving of anything other than execution!”

Neither are hardcore gang members and drug dealers. Let's execute them, too, without trials. usa! usa! usa!

On What Are You Listening To Right Now?

Mel – That’s funny you should say that because I lived in Chicago for several years. That’s where I really learned to appreciate it – and it’s a slightly different sound than house music from New York or San Francisco. The club scene changes frequently, but when I lived there Smart Bar and the Red Dog were key venues. I got to see Ralphi Rosario, Felix da Housecat, Dimitri from Paris, Bob Sinclair, Collette & Heather, Mark Farina (many times), and Little Louis Vega.

Good times!

Here's why they take house music seriously in Chicago:
