This guy took video (that's also on Huffington Post) of the KKK's pathetic rally at Ole Miss today to protest the school's decision to stop using 'Dixie” as the school's fight song (bout damn time). They're probably upset the students elected a black guy as SGA president too! Anyway, this guy provides a summary of the day's events. Its hilarious when you visualize it.

WTF??? Lincoln University officials have lost their damn minds. How did you hear about this foolishness carolinagirl??
Lincoln University's recent decision to require students to undergo a physical examination before graduation has upset some students, the Lincolnian reports. If a student's body mass index surpasses 30, he or she must complete a physical education class in order to graduate.
Opponents of the requirement say the university is discriminating against obese people, the report says. Others are concerned that their time at Lincoln could drag on longer than normal because of the new class requirement.
I'll be damned if after completing the 120 hours or whatever it is at Lincoln to graduate they tell me I'm too fat to graduate! WTH?!?!?

Losing Winfrey would be big blow for Second City
CHICAGO — Step outside Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Studios and into the near west side neighborhood that's been home to her television talk show for two decades, and it's easy to get a sense of what she's meant to Chicago.
“I used to live across the street from Harpo and when I moved there it was me and cross-dressing crack addicts and Harpo. And now it's strollers and little white dogs all over,” said Paul O'Connor, whose job has been to sell the city to businesses looking to relocate and those wondering why they should stay.
Along with the upscale condominiums and pricey restaurants that replaced the rundown apartments, abandoned warehouses and vacant storefronts, it's a sentiment that helps explain just how nervous people in Chicago are about Winfrey's announcement that next season, the 25th, will be the last for “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

This is utter nonsense. First of all, its already been shown that a BMI will give false results when you consider that the BMI of Shaq, Serena Williams, DeMarcus Ware and many other athletes would indicate they are obese when we know damn well they are not. Secondly……WHAT THE HELL?!??! This seems to be a violation of some sort!

Does MSNBC not have the budget to actually air better programming on the weekends? Why do they continue to have these bootleg caught on camera/hidden video type crap on?? They can't figure out how to put decent news/political analysis shows on?
November 21st, 2009
It is a violation of sheer fuckery, I say. You and I both know what these
mofos are up to…….

From http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2009/11/afte...
Right-wing activist Andrew Breitbart of BigGovernment.com and other conservative anti-Obama websites, made a bizarre appearance on Fox News’ Sean Hannity Thursday night, issuing a direct threat, approaching blackmail, to the United States Attorney General, Eric Holder. Breitbart is angry that Attorney General Holder has not opened a federal investigation into ACORN and he issued a threat of releasing more tapes during the 2010 elections, unless Holder complies with his demands.
Breitbart together with conservative operatives James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, released another heavily edited ACORN tape this week, which seems to show an ACORN employee assisting the two with an illegal prostitution scheme.
Breitbart said, he was “forced” to release another tape due to the lack of a federal investigation into what he calls a “dangerous organization.”
“Congress didn’t come in to investigate them—obviously not the Attorney General’s office. And they’ve now realized— let’s get back into business, because they’ve realized that the dust settled and they were not being investigated. It was Hannah and James and me who were being investigated. That’s why we’ve been forced to offer this latest tape.”
Breitbart then issued his angry threat against Attorney General Holder and the Obama administration:
“And this message is to Attorney General Holder: I want you to know we have more tapes–its not just ACORN. And we’re going to hold out until the next election cycle — or else, if you want to do a clean investigation, we will give you the rest of what we have. We will comply with you. We will give you the documentation we have from countless ACORN whistleblowers who want to come forward, but are fearful of this organization and the retribution — that they fear that this is a dangerous organization.”
“So if you will get into an investigation, we will give you the tapes, and if you don’t give us the tapes [sic], we will revisit these tapes come election time.”
Quite a threatening statement made by a right-wing blogger to the United States Attorney General.
Breitbart: ‘This Message is to Attorney General Holder,’ Investigate ACORN ‘Or Else
WTF? This is blackmail! This is threatening the Attorney General!
These mofos are bold as hell. Unfreakingbelievable!
