what scares me

You know what's frightening? That there are folks who are so seething inside over having a black president that they see even a traffic-related dustup through those eyes. That's why all this talk about America having become "post-racial" is a load of crap. We've still got plenty to work through.

But Massholes aside, today is a huge step forward.

Is that posters believe that people are seething about having a black president and are projecting their insecurities at some driver with a wise ass retort to a pedestrian.

I thought the whole Crosser/driver scene was pretty funny.

It would be ripsnortingly hilarious

Except some of us remember way back to November when three alleged morons in Springfield (which last I checked is in the People's Republic of Massachusetts) expressed their feelings about Obama's election by burning a black church down.

Actually, even without that, it still wouldn't be funny.

Law and Order!

Aren't these the same pieces of work who froth and fume about how anarchy and lawlessness will certainly result from having a Black president?

Oh yeah, I forgot - the law they fear collapsing is "might makes right", not the rule of law that says you have to stop at that mysterious red octagon thingy.

The person who blew through a STOP sign deserved to be yelled at

The person who blew through the STOP sign deserved to be yelled at! I say kudos for the pedestrian for doing so. Had it been me, I would've hollered and cussed out the STOP sign-blowing Masshole for all it was worth! That driver doesn't have a leg to stand on.
