it's like you can't even go golfing anymore without seeing chicks and non-white men.  

As a white man, I really hate the fact that other white men, with whom I have no connection, are embarrassing our segment of the population by seemingly doing everything wrong. It's especially chafing that there are so many white men in the political and pundit class, where literally everything they say or do is wrong, every analysis off, every prediction proved false, every conviction or belief in how the system should be run failed, yet they continue to say and do dumb stuff. I think we need a political party for competent white men  (CWM). Our group is as unrepresented in our government.

crashin yer threadz. steelin yer jobz.

Find me at Latino Político or The Sanctuary

I guess I'm supposed to just hang out down here at the bottom of the thread... :o))

The Underground Railroad

honestly, I may not have enough snark in me to really comment effectively on this one.  I've deleted three responses so far.

I feel your pain man: maybe some reruns of Ozzie and Harriet or My Three Sons will help.

John Mccain Called his wife WHAT??

Here I am.  Crashing the party again.  Just like the early days of my working life.  

And to think they all get paid the same, whether they're white men or not! Because these are Guv'ment jobs, it just ain't fair to us white dudes.

At a past job I worked on an IT project where I had access to tons of data, including everyone's salaries in the (BIG) corporation. I found that I, as a white man, made about 30% more than the white women who were equal to me - or even better qualified. Considerably more than that for anyone with a better tan or more exotic name that I had.

It's disgusting and it has to stop. White dudes had their day and they need to let things equalize out once and for all. This is just crazy.

That Driving While White thing really sucks too.

FDR's response to progressive demands: "I agree. Now go out and make me do it."

Too tired to snark after a long day of work, so let me be a wet blanket by making an observation that's been on my mind for a while.

First, every time someone on the right makes some remark about the "majority", I have to wonder who the hell they're talking about. As soon as you divvy up the demographics by race and gender, there is no majority. I can't find a comprehensive breakdown at the moment, but whites are 74% of the US population. Given a roughly equal division by gender, that makes white men a minority of 37%. White Christian men? About 29% of the population.

(As an interesting side note, a 2007 survey found that there are only two, um, religious groups in the US that score more than 2% of the population: Christians, at 78%, and atheists/agnostics at 16%. Guess which one is growing and which one isn't.)

Things were a lot simpler when there weren't a bunch of girls around to mess everything up!

Meh.  Born poor white trash, still poor white trash.  Time the trust fund babies got in line like the rest of us.

On Sotomayor, Some Abortion Rights Backers Show Unease

By CHARLIE SAVAGE
Published: May 27, 2009
WASHINGTON - In nearly 11 years as a federal appeals court judge, President Obama's choice for the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor, never directly ruled on whether the Constitution protects a woman's right to an abortion. But when she wrote opinions that touched tangentially on abortion disputes, she often reached outcomes favorable to abortion opponents.

Now some liberal leaders are quietly expressing unease that Judge Sotomayor may not be a reliable vote to uphold Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 abortion rights decision. In a letter to supporters, Nancy Keenan, president of the National Abortion Rights Action League, urged them to pressure senators to demand that Judge Sotomayor reveal her views on privacy rights before any confirmation vote.

I'm sure there were white men Obama could have picked who'd have been much more reliable supporters of a woman's right to control her own body.

But if he had picked a white man there would have been a shitstorm of protest from women and minorities.

Ironic.

they're mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore!

buchanan's one of the last of st. ronnie's 'angry white males'...preaching to the dead end choir.

the revolution will not be televised...

Having been a white man for some time, I have empathy understand totally.

Oh, there you are, Perry. -Phineas -SLB-

I think that the real GOP worry is that Judge Sotomayor is smart,knowledgeable and assertive enough to sway a vote or two for civil rights and labor unions.  They claim she isn't smart enough, what they really fear is her intelligence and drive.  When will they claim her academic record disqualifies her because she must be an elitist?

The Ownership Society: $62 trillion in CDOs based on a $10 trillion mortgage market

I'm at a lost about what to write. Maybe white men want to corner the market on free "government" cheese, and have an unemployment rate higher than the national average.

In the late 1950's I worked at NSA as a crypt linguist.  There were many beautiful women employed there as analysts etc.  What an irony that a governmental stalwart in the cold war should be such a progressive oasis in employment.  Mirabile dictu--strange to say.

Suppose you scrub your ethical skin until it shines, but inside there is no music, then what? Kabir
