Now Racist: Black Holes!
An enlightened look at the increasing lack of intelligence found in many local governments here in the good old U.S.A.:
County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.
Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections "has become a black hole" because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.
Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud "Excuse me!" He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a "white hole."
That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.
Just think, folks:—While you're all out there, arguing over who you want to elect as President, imbeciles like these are being re-elected to our county boards and city councils; election after election, year after year.
But hey, why let idiocy like that bother us? We've obviously decided that, rather than electing local governments best suited to our personal and specific needs (you know, the whole "deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" part?), we'd rather live amongst a byzantine, centralized Soviet bureaucracy that is wholly unaccountable to We, The People.
It was Bolshevism that George Washington was fighting for, wasn't it?
