Kanye West got it wrong!

George Bush does too care about Black people.

Come on–what more proof do people need?

But, wait a second…who is he talking to on that phone? I think we need some captions.

A Black Theology of Liberation

Via Crooks and Liars:

Obama’s Pastor, Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, goes on Hannity & Colmes to slap down Hannity’s implied slur of Trinity United Church of Christ’s doctrine. When was the last time you saw Hannity not be able to get a word in edgewise?

Hannity kept trying to nail Dr. Wright about how talk of a Black Value System sounds separatist. Wright informed him that the church grew out of the Liberation Theology movement. Every time Hannity tried to press him about how it doesn’t sound nice to say Black instead of all of us together, Wright asked Hannity what he knows about Liberation Theology, and how many of Cone’s books he has read. Hannity kept saying that he went to seminary, but Wright pressed him, saying “That’s not what I asked you.” So Hannity accused him of being “angry” and getting upset.

By the way, you know what “angry” means in this context, right? It means you’re insisting on stating your case rather than “assuming the position”.

Anyway, I haven’t read any of them either, but, unlike Hannity, I’m actually curious about such things. So here’s one of the many books Sean Hannity has *not* read…

There’s also a summary of the ideas espoused by Trinity United Church of Christ here.

Saturday Morning Political Cartoon

See it here first, a preview of today’s “Saturday Morning Political Cartoon.” It’s a regular Daily Kos feature, or at least a few of us cartoonits want it to be, if we can get some support. Posted every Saturday between 9 and 10 am. Today, I will try to post at 10.

Today’s cartoon is a rerun from October of ‘05, because I love it when I’m right. The ‘toon disappeared off the radar screen back then, but the Libby trial just might make it relevant again.

Why is the I-Conn giving the Dem radio address?

Misheard lyrics

At Firedoglake, Christy Hardin Smith has a post up entitled Asparagus…In My My Cereal Bowl about funny misheard lyrics. Go check out some of the words people thought they heard–some of them had us laughing out loud. I mentioned in the comments that I had the book ‘Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy (and yes, that’s what I thought Hendrix was singing!) and that the pictures are hilarious. Just had to share a couple of my favorites.

I built this garden for us by Lenny Kravitz, misheard as “I built this goddamn forest”.

This is the best shot I was able to get with my cell phone camera, but the look on Smoky the Bear’s face is priceless.

And then there’s “However do you want me, however do you need me from Soul II Soul’s “Back to Life” misheard as, “I wanna be a wombat, I wanna be anemic.”

Finally, here’s a misheard lyrics video…
