And one to piss off your racist acquaintances

Regular readers (both of you) will have noticed that this blog is, and always will be, ad free--because it's not about money, it's about people (well that and the fact that no money making enterprise cares about it either).  But every now and again a business will do something surprising and worth noting...like this ad from Ancestry.com showing just how far we have come in our diverseness in the 241 years we've been fighting for the American dream:

O beautiful for spacious skies, indeed.

Fuck Donald Trump,

Another reason to be glad you're a Democrat

Suzy Welch, pampered elitist and wife of vastly overpaid and overrated former CEO of GE Jack Welch, thinks that the choice of songs sung by Willard Romney and President Obama speaks volumes about the two men.  Apparently, Willard's choice of his vastly off key rendition of "America the Beautiful" makes him a better American (read "white") than President Obama (read "black") and his remarkably--and totally cool--tuneful version of an American classic, Al Green's "Let's Stay Together."

Said Ms. Welch, "That is two different Americas.  Isn't it?"

You bet your ass it is, sweetheart.  And frankly, if being a good American in Ms. Welch's eyes means the choice between a bad version of "America the Beautiful" and the soulful Obama version of "Let's Stay Together," I'll stay here in 99% Land, thank you very much.

Fuck you, Suzy.

Peace,
emaycee
