WASSUUUUP? YEAH BABY! I’m here today to apologize for my earlier comments. I used an offensive term to describe a group of people who made America the great… continent that it is today. These kick-ass people have given the world countless bodacious things like The Birther Movement, intelligent design, water parks… no, I will not endorse water parks. They are a cesspool of disease and people boo you when you walk back down the stairs. You know what you people have given the world? Girls Gone Wild, the Golden Globes, cans that tell you how cold beer is, Florida, Bratz dolls. Because of you, there may be an Entourage movie! You know what, I give up. You should know better, but no. You’re just gonna keep on riding motorcycles, having unprotected sex and voting against free health care. You will make the same self-destructive decisions over and over and you will never really be happy. And your jaw will hurt all the time. No one will make you Deutsche pancakes or welcome you home smelling of hot dog water and onion. Or let you break out of jail when you play monopoly. Oh my God, I’m such an idiot!

❝ As Catholic leaders who recognize that the moral scandals of racism and poverty remain a blemish on the American soul, we challenge our fellow Catholics Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum to stop perpetuating ugly racial stereotypes on the campaign trail. Mr. Gingrich has frequently attacked President Obama as a “food stamp president” and claimed that African Americans are content to collect welfare benefits rather than pursue employment. Campaigning in Iowa, Mr. Santorum remarked: “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money.” Labeling our nation’s first African-American president with a title that evokes the past myth of “welfare queens” and inflaming other racist caricatures is irresponsible, immoral and unworthy of political leaders. ❞
