    Adding to the analogy: usually, people fart before a bunch of shit comes out. Same with racism. Smell a little racism, you know that shit's on it's way.

    My parents were so uptight about bodily functions that I never remember hearing anyone fart. Ever. I lived with a fellah for two years in my late 30's and he used to joke that doves came in the night with a silver tray and took with them all of my flatulence and effluvium. Then I had a hysterectomy earlier this month. Your ticket to freedom out of the ward was passing gas. They had fart cerfiticates and if you were overheard farting, everyone would clap and high five you. That enviroment, coupled with the dilauded pump totally allowed me to embrace my flatulance! I went out of the hospital with a bang so to speak. OMG - Is this a Lifetime Movie waiting to be written? Help with titles please.

    "Ask not for who the smell tolls" had me in giggle fits.

    It's always funny to me how Stephen's "I don't see race, people tell me I'm white, and I believe them" approach to race is shockingly close to the approach several Fox News anchors seem to take on the issue.

    I'm actually in favor of farts INSTEAD of racism. Anytime you feel like Mexicans are taking your jobs, or Black people are lazy, or White people are boring, just let one rip instead.

    Even growing up in a house full of girls, it wasn’t until I was 12 that I realized girls do fart. But they still don’t poop. And neither do celebrities.

    Any girl worth her salt loves farts.

    But, I grew up with a "pull my finger" dad, so maybe I am biased.

    Going forward today, it will be all I can do not to use farts as a metaphor with my own employees. Thanks Colbert and Jezebel. :P

    OK...the one thing that really bugs me about this, is that people (*cough* republicans *cough*) seem like calling Pres. Obama an "angry black man" and angry with white people etc etc. But Mr. Obama is half white, his mom is white. Seriously?! does that mean nothing?

    Politics americana... they gives me headaches.

    @Pieces of Pi and her vagabond dreams: But you see, he's part Black, so that's the only way he can be defined. If he was allowed to be called White, then they couldn't prop him up as someone who is out to get the eternally-oppressed White men that make up 99.8% of the Republican party.

    @squinko - applauds the death of FBC: Yup. In a nation state where cultural and economic hierarchy are at least partially predicated on race, the "one-drop" rule never goes out of style.

    (Shorter Rooo: They never would have called on the President to apologize to that cop had he - the Prez, that is - been white instead of biracial.)
