Black Hole is now Racist

Quote
A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets turned tense and bizarre this afternoon.

County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts.

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections "has become a black hole" because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud "Excuse me!" He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a "white hole."

That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

Maybe the guy heard "black a-hole" instead of "black hole". Who knows?

I just found this eye-rolling funny because of other terms that might now be off limits.
Black:
lab
flag
light

They told me if I voted for John McCain, my country would look like it is run by people with a disturbing affinity towards fascism. And they were right!

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

That does not begin to describe him.  The fact that he is alive is a testament to the truly astounding tolerance of the people around him.  He has more than once, on camera, been seen vandalizing cars (moving cars, no less), assaulting various members of the public, and spitting on DPD officers.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

Can we incur a lower, not-so-considerable amount of wrath?  Pretty please...?

Be careful with that wrath, if you let it burn to hot it might explode outward beyond it's own gravitational pull only to collapse back upon itself causing a black hole.
