Linkity

Toni Morrison, The Clintons, race, confusion...

I didn't love Margaret Cho's takedown of the racist and sexist discourse re Obama/Clinton and who will WOC vote for?. It makes some good points but could be a lot more pointful.

I'm leaning towards Obama. If anyone has a good reason to vote for Clinton please let me know. Not that I'm a registered deomcrat anyway. but it seems important to have an opinion. This piece touches on some of the reasons why--in terms of stated positions, it's 6 of one...but Clinton has proven herself to be perfectly willing to adopt almost any position should it seem politically expedient (co-sponsoring an anti-flag burning amendment, anyone?) Whereas Obama may be just as crass, but hasn't proven himself to be, yet.

Meat.
