    Your Disdain for America Will Not Be Tolerated by the Newark Bears

    So, Yankee Stadium Takes This No Moving During "God Bless America"-Thing Rather Seriously

    "All I was saying was that..." is such a fantastic phrase. It indicates with almost 100% accuracy that you just informed your wife that she doesn't really need that last slice of pie, or told your boss that the new temp (his niece) has an ass you could bounce a quarter off of.

    History's eugenicist honkies have always trumpeted their own racial superiority when it suits their claims to Manifest Destiny, American exceptionalism or the right to lead brave squads of clean-cut Christians to Super Bowl championships, yet they also consign to some sort of genetic hocus-pocus the non-white athlete's continued ability to kick the cracker's ass in almost every athletic endeavor imaginable — including, now, the country-club sports. The last refuge for the closeted supremacist, then, is the American flag, even if it's got NASCAR stickers and chili-cheesedog stains all over it. #mebkeflezighi

    @AzureTexan: "Genetic hocus-pocus"? How else do you explain the southern white man's inherently innane ability to distill and distribute the sweet nectar that is white lightning? #mebkeflezighi

    @blogsarefun: Agreed. The only problem is that 'honkies-tonk' just doesn't work as a plural descriptor of singularly awesome dance halls that serve white lightning in dirty mason jars and whose women play steel guitar with broken beer bottles. #mebkeflezighi

    Look Craggs, I don't know why you're getting so worked up over this. Besides, the same people that like Gina Kolata like getting caught in the rain.

    Our news media does more vetting of a marathon winner than they do someone running for president.

    Africans don't run faster because they're really poor. They run faster because they're trying to outrun Sally Struthers. #mebkeflezighi

    "I sincerely and publicly apologize to Meb Keflezighi and hope that he will be kind enough to have me over for dinner so we can have a discourse while sharing the foods of our respective cultures. I'll bring pizza, and he can serve a nice hot bowl of Missionary soup, served out of a giant cast-iron pot." #mebkeflezighi

    All I was saying was that we should celebrate an American marathon champion who has completely been brought up through the American system.

    You won't see another Marathon Man here until American dental schools stop instructing their students to ask their patients "Is it safe?" #mebkeflezighi
