Bet you never thought you would see that in a headline again.

But, something very important happened last night. And, Sarah Palin is kind of in the center of it.

Hello all. I rarely diary anymore but there's something of a soap opera going on right now in Prince William County Virginia. This latest chapter is especially troubling, but it's happening in the context of a longer story, where conservative, tea party-friendly, Prince William County Virginia is using mother nature as an excuse to level a low-income housing area of primarily Hispanic residents. More over the jump.

De-Lurking for a quick diary.

It seems that Breathing-while-black is now getting it's share of airtime around the nation. Things that some folks may have thought were rare are getting media coverage.

In the latest scenario, the Newport Beach PD went all Skip Gates on LA Angels Centerfielder Torii Hunter earlier today, in his own home. Over the fold, ESPN has the story.

I'm torn about this mess. I think the purging was not intended to be disproportionate.

Wow, we've hit a new low.

We now have a user putting together a Group just so he can categorize diaries such that he and like-minds can find them more quickly to insult and demean others.

This may not be a diary, but Lawrence O'Donnell just called out a CBPP press release that you all really need to have a look at:

July 7, 2010 - Cleveland, Ohio

In an unprecedented move, NBA star free agent LeBron James today announced that he would accept the best offer available to him, a recess appointment as Ambassador to Arizona.

In a prepared statement, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs commented, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!!!", while waving a big foam finger.

This diary won't be full of lots of original thought. Consider it more of an exercise in reporting.

During the most recent pie fights on 'tough love' for the POTUS, I was (am?) one of voices arguing that while he isn't sabre rattling on my highest priorities I was refraining from "trashing" him and I thought (and still think) others should also refrain. Bashing him for not issuing an Executive Order repealing DADT only weakens him and makes it harder for him to get Congress to issue a permanent fix, so the logic goes. (Note that "bashing" him [e.g., 'empty suit', 'same as Bush', 'Corporatist'] is not the same as respectful, principaled objection -- to head off that particular strawman.)

Anyway, a few people said I should diary on the status of my particular "pony" from time-to-time, so here's a short report.

December 22. 8:30pm or so. I got a call from my 'Aunt'. My Aunt is a semi-Aunt. She was accepted into my family late in life. She's not really grand-dad's daughter but she thinks she is, and that's fine. She stutters when she's nervous. Those first few visits were full of sputtered sentences, but for the last several years she speaks to me as smoothly as anyone else on the planet.

Tonight I can't understand a goddam word she's saying.

No this isn't a diary, and it's sloppy. But on a night like tonight, cut me a break.

For those of you who follow Rachel's show, you've probably seen Princeton Associate Professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell. Aside from being a really good twitterer, Harris-Lacewell has the additional positive quality of being absolutely brilliant.

At about 8pm this evening, she weighed in on a popular topic around here, black people and GLBT rights -- specifically, the right to marry.

The piece is a home run.
