Mike Hill (R) Florida. Be afraid.

He's a black man who says he's not an African American, he's an American. He's a tea-partier who believes that tea-partiers are Constitutionalist.

I think I just fell into the rabbit hole.

I guess she was referring to Hill (but I did miss a bit so perhaps someone else)

I wish I had been born with a good sense of humor, or at least, had a high tolerance for alcohol. Because all these social disconnects would be easier to take.

Van Gundy on Riley Cooper: Racism making a comeback

"I honestly think the most disappointing thing is that racism is making a resurgence," Van Gundy said on our critically acclaimed Open Mike radio show. "I think it's getting worse for whatever reason. I thought we were making a little bit of progress for a while, but I don't feel that way anymore. I feel like it's getting worse and becoming almost more acceptable for people to have these (racist) attitudes. It's not surprising but very disappointing."

After watching the country divide along racial lines after the George Zimmerman verdict, Van Gundy makes a sad but salient point. Especially in the wake of Cooper, an NFL player who publicly and angrily used a racial slur for all the world to see and hear.
