Hyperlinks make everyone happy

Hmmm. I agree with Reihan that if you want to defeat McCain/Palin it's a bad idea to mock the names of her kids. For obvious reasons, I always thought the worst part of Bill Cosby's diatribe was his attack on "black names." As a quick aside, I didn't realize there was a such thing as a "black name" until I went to college. I knew way more Keishas than Ambers. But I think if you're going to bust on liberals for snideness, you'll need more than a joke site. I'm sure that there will be plenty of latte-sipping, dinner party-attending, wine track lefties snapping on old girl. But somehow I don't think those people will be introducing Barack Obama at a campaign rally.
