Obama sounds delicious

Sex advice columnist and Stranger editor Dan Savage wants to know whether a drink named "The Obama" at a restaurant in New York state is racist or not:

The Obama
Espresso, cocoa, white chocolate, macadamia nut, milk

So far, the votes are strongly in favor of "not racist." I looked at their menu, and they also have a cafe drink named the "Hot Mexican"... which I guess is better than naming it after, say, Jessica Alba, right?

On an unrelated-to-racism note, I like this comment the most:

"And, um, are they offering, say, a whipped, frothy, milk chocolate drink... o.O"

Straight Outta the White Hizzy

I'm not sure, but I have trouble imagining FoxNews referring to George Bush as ever having "kicked it", especially in "Cali".

Hallelujah!

One of The Weather Girls has gone corporate! And gotten a lot younger and skinnier.

This billboard went up in various locations around Seattle this week. I guess it's possible that this is just referring to the frequent precipitation here (Zing! A timely observation.) but I doubt it. And if it's really an allusion to "It's Raining Men," does that make it a little bit racist, or just a silly pop culture reference? I don't know, but with these billboards everywhere, the song is getting stuck in my head a lot.
