No - I am just incredibly disappointed in LEP's insensitivity (This guy was evidently the inspiration for the "Polish jokes.") and ignorance (he even has the name). Wrong on both counts. He's a Serbian American. And I am pretty certain ethnicity has nothing to do with stupidity.

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

I mean, I did't see people bring up ethnicity when talking about Bush's profound stupidity or when our previous Gov. was arrested.

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

Re: Tuesday Open Thread (4.00 / 4)

George Bush is a WASP. I didn't think WASP jokes existed but evidently they do:

Q. What is the definition of a WASP?
A. Someone who gets out of the shower to take a leak.

Q: How can you tell if a WASP is sexually excited?
A: The stiff upper lip.

Hey, Grandma Moses started late!

I like the stiff upper lip one.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
