In Other News:  F1 Chief in 'Nazi Role-Playing Orgy'

Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 08:43:15 AM PDT

What is the MSM paying attention to today in the rest of the Rupert Murdoch-media-controlled world?  Well, high-profile sex scandals involving Nazi role-playing prostitutes, of course.

Ok, I'm fairly new to Daily Kos and this is my first diary, so perhaps I'll be moving on to more 'serious' topics soon.  I'm a progressive Austinite Obama fan who's been living in Switzerland for many years, and lately my head is exploding from trying to follow the daily ups and down of the campaign from afar.  I think I'm not alone on that score, so how about a slight diversion?

More after the flop...

Was this diary mildly diverting in this foul year of our lord 2008?

Racism in all its ugliness

Mon Feb 04, 2008 at 11:37:26 AM PDT

We tend to get worked up around here over things like "the race card" and "code words" and "dog whistles" as things that signal racism.

So it is instructive to remember that while this country still has far to go to banish racism, it could be worse -- a lot worse. Some places don't bother trying to disguise racism.

We could live in Spain, for instance, where this past weekend a group of auto racing fans gave the entire country a bad name by hurling the most vile racial insults imaginable at a young man named Lewis Hamilton.
