Does the term "redneck" mean anything to y'all?

Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

Well, thanks Keith, for your concern.
Do you marry whites, who have a 50+% divorce rate?
How about hispanices & blacks?
Hispanics & whites?
Would you have married Barak & Michelle, seeing as he's more WHITE than she is?
So, a definite no to Obama's parents then, eh?

This is so all kinds of wrong.

But Bardwell told the Daily Star of Hammond that he was not a racist.

That's what they all say.

I can't wait to share this with a Nola-native friend of mine....

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

Well, children of mixed marriages DO have a really rough time of it. Heck, there's a sizable chunk of people who don't believe our President is actually an American because of his mixed racial heritage!

Of course, that child of interracial marriage also happened to be elected President of the United States, so I'm not exactly sure what this hayseed jerkwater civil servant is so concerned about.

The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means;
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

Oh, and thank you for that.

Some shit just takes words away, huh?

I give you shit, Wulf, but I *DO* think you're growing.
