I agree with you completely...well, that is, until near the end...

I don't know just why but that little bit of mock-self-realization nearly made me pee myself...and boy, did I need a laugh badly today!

There's something disturbingly racist about this.

Well, toetyper, you've officially crossed the line from ungrateful (considering your response to my attempt to help you) to troll.

Congratulations

Before anyone else gets their panties wadded, be really really honest: if you were on Donnymid *today*, in the Winnar's Circle, and you hadn't found a rusty butter knife to plunge through your temple yet, and Barack Obama's Friggin' Tie comes up in the $100 box (so help me God if anyone says "there weren't $100 boxes on Donnymid!" I will flood your mailbox with facepalms): is that not how you would word the clue? There might be people out there who are politically unaware (unlikely, but stay with me) and don't know who's the Dem and who's the GOP candidate, but *everyone* knows which one is the black guy.

Toetyper's a lot of things (funny is none of them), but I don't necessarily think he's a racist.

He could have said "The 2008 Democratic Nominee for President" and been a lot less offensive.

You did not read Chris's post.

Okay, I touched the thread with a 50-foot pole.

As a black guy myself, I didn't find anything racist at all about toetyper's clue. For the exact reason Chris stated, that's exactly the clue practically verbatim I'd give in the Winner's Circle. I hate how people are so quick to throw the yellow flag out there as soon as something that might possibly maybe perhaps slightly conceivably be offensive to someone pops up. Let the offended parties speak up for themselves and stop trying to play PC cop.

And this is for toetyper. I made it last week.

Yes, I did, actually.

Chris said no one would necessarily know the party candidates, but I believe if you add the year in it has to turn a light on somewhere, no?

And you've wasted a few extra breaths, while I get there in one word (and note that the one person in this thread who might have a reason to BE offended, isn't) and have a couple of precious seconds when "Places You Might Put Susan Lucci's Suppositories" shows up in the top box for all the marbles.

Sorry, but I have absolutely zero tolerance for crap like that.
