We've already dubbed Satoshi Kanazawa a "crap evolutionary psychologist." But somehow, he's found a way to be even crappier.

A Supreme Court case on Barack Obama's birth certificate? Yup, got that, too. Between all of that, plus calls for Robert Mugabe to resign, Tim Geithner to pull his head out of his (possibly sexist) ass, and Andrew Cuomo not caring about black people, it's damn lucky that I have Racialicious' Latoya Peterson along on this ride to Crazytown (not nearly as awesome as Funkytown, by the way).
