Your post on the Obama-Clinton war reminds me of David Steinberg's routine from a 1969 episode of the "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour":

"On the way to this studio, I saw an old man being mugged by four vicious-looking teenagers. One was Irish, one was Jewish, one was Hispanic, and one was black. And I said to myself: 'If these four children can learn to work together cooperatively, what may America not be capable of?'"

Indeed. More multi-cultural mud!
