Today's "Trump This" Racist Award goes to:
Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma or Mars, who said on the floor of the House:
“We have a high percentage of blacks in prison, and that’s tragic, but are they in prison just because they are black or because they don’t want to study as hard in school? I’ve taught school, and I saw a lot of people of color who didn’t study hard because they said the government would take care of them.”
She has apologized. Saying the usual “I’m sorry you found that offensive.”
The award is carved out of suet and is quite pleased with itself.

House of Wind, Sir
The King’s Speech was the royal carpet-bombing to get subjects in the mood for the big same-old-sex nuptials between the prince and a commoner. A very wealthy commoner, but common nonetheless. The movie didn’t do that for me, but my Irish heritage sometimes gets in the way of full-throated appreciation of English royalty.
The Royals’ timing couldn’t be worse. The big April 29th royal wedding is overshadowing the Papals’ big May 1st Vatican happening. Is there no WE-Calendar syncing between the monarchy and the paparchy?
On May 1st Pope Bennythedict is fixing to preside over the beatification of Pope John Paul. Not to be confused with beautification: that’s wild flowers, highway medians, Lady Bird Johnson. That’s prettification. Beatification is putting Pope John Paul on the fast track to sainthood. Faster than Mother Teresa!
It was a promise then-Cardinal Ratzinger made shortly after the white smoke puffed out of the papal chimney and was certified not to be from Italian correspondent Sylvia Poggioli’s cigarette.
Pope B might actually be grateful for the scheduling conflict. To be beatified, if I’m reading the beati-regs correctly, a saint-to-be must have performed a miracle. With all the international tsuris the church is having, Pope John’s miracle of making the pedophilia scandal disappear might not be something to be beatified.
