The Mindless Empty Gesture Of The Day Award

The Mindless Empty Gesture Of The Day Award goes to the NAACP for staging a complete funeral for "the N-word" while having a derivation of it printed on the coffin. Doesn't that mean it was sort of buried alive? (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)

The ceremony included a march by delegates from across the country from downtown Detroit's Cobo Center to Hart Plaza. Along the way, two Percheron horses pulled a pine box adorned with a bouquet of fake black roses and a black ribbon printed with a derivation of the word.

Its almost as pointless as all of that 'support the troops' silliness.

It's almost as pointless as expecting anything meaningful or intelligent coming from the brain of a liberal. Almost.

Was Cicdy Sheehan there?

I mean she has so much experience tap dancing on her sons coffin.

who'd have guessed?

Whoa..... Cindi.... I had to scroll back up. I didn't see the 'fake'....... ohmygod. Is the coffin wrapped in that heavy-duty clear plastic some people choose to leave on their couches to keep 'em clean?

What was in the coffin? A sticky note with the letter 'N' on it? DIE you mother, die!

Seems to me the easier thing to do would be to have a rebirth ceremony pronouncing the word 'nigger' a compliment. "Why you nigger!" "Oh, thank you, you cracker." Both smile and say "Have a good day." and walk off. I mean, we choose to be offended or not. Let's choose to make the 'n' word a good word.

And I don't care if you think I'm nuts because what those fools did is more nuts.

Why, Phoenix, you are the finest cracker who ever crackered in the entire crackering world since the discovery of crackerie in the heart of crackerdom.

[Fred Beloit]

Ahem, snrrph, grumpf. I just want to say to all of you here today that Phoenix, one of our crackerizing sisters here in crackerland, has been fixin' to crackerate since her tykehood in Cracker City in the beautiful and great state of West Crackersicola. Without overly crackerivating her crackulations, I just want you to know that I, as a humble cracker myself, a new one to be sure, to be sure, but an ardent one nevertheless, I say I just want you to know that she sure is a whizbang, crackeratious, cracurvatious cracker of the first water. I thank you.
