You just can't fix "racist asshole."

Bob,

Your just being sensitive.

Lets try it another way. Native American, Small Pox, Blankets, Land west of the Mississippi River, Buffalo Soldiers and my favorite Manifest Destiny.

There is nothing wrong with that statement in the context the I just put it in.

I'd like to take a wide plank of wood to Rule's backside!

Well...hopefully, if we've learned anything, it is that KARMA is alive and well~ O.J. is in jail and will be for a very long time!!!

They might have just found the skull of the missing baby, Caylee Anthony, killed by her mother- Casey Anthony. KARMA is our friend again.

And hopefully, Steve Rule will also find a little KARMA in the future. If only...

Seriously??? Are you really less educated than a second grader and don't really know that you should have used the contraction 'You're' in your most recent post?

Honestly, that is really a very sad state to be in.

Get help, I mean... GET EDUCATED!

Mary,

Thank you for the correction of my grammar.

Blogging is kind of like texting. When your in your car and on one of those new thingys they called a blackberry.

I will go beat myself to death with one of my old college composition books now.

I am Veteran Goddamn it! Sorry, that was just for fun from one of the greatest movies of my generation.

I'm sure there's some misunderstanding, MaryN., and perhaps you didn't get Joe's joke. Either way, we're not in school, and we can misspel be ungrammatical and confuse homophones with delight here. Its not gonna kill anyone so maybe chill?

something is wrong

Boldface and underlines?

He should be castigated for sending HTML email, if nothing else.

You know, truth be told, when I saw her walk out in that dress I turned to my wife and said, "Someone's going to make fun of that dress and call her a black widow spider."

I didn't see the "black" as being racist when I said "black widow spider", but seriously, the "very wide backside" and the "wood pile" references? C'mon!

>>I didn't see the "black" as being racist

Underscoring race as part of a pejorative statement is racist.

Well Bob, here's the real funny part. The following are comments from Idaho citizens commenting on the email.

Do we have to make everything that has the word "black" in it "racist"? Come on people, have a little bit of a sense of humor. Do we not remember the days of Polish jokes and "blond" jokes...get a grip!

Good point, Myhomiesareinidaho. Just lighten (no racial overtones intended) up!

Why is it that anything that pokes fun of Obama is immediately racist? What about some of Obama's colored people sending Sara Palin's simulated nude pictures? Was that not racist in the other direction? Racisim is belittling someone because of race and not of the way they dress. Yes it was stupid to use a business computer for sending this message. Let me just say to those that actually work for a living, "May the one who is ENTIRELY without this sin throw the first." stone."
