To that end, how refreshing was it during his presser to hear the president say that the arresting officer in the Gates case acted “stupidly?” Now that that’s officially out there, it’s not for Gates to prove he was in the right.

No, radical fringe. We’re not going to prove anything to you anymore because we can show you our collective drivers licenses and birth certificates and our 17-year judicial records and any other documents or accomplishments and you’d just come up with another freak reason to deny, deny, deny.

Listen to AM Radio so that the Masters of Yesterday’s Technology can tell you what to think. The rest of us are above ground living in the daylight. You’re welcome to join us.
