In an attempt to get their pathetic names in the papers, the Oklahoma black caucus (they don't deserve capitalization) is crying like little babies about Randy Brogdon mentioning fried chicken.  Boo hoo.  I hate to break it to the race baiting black caucus, but most people don't think like that.  When I hear the words "fried chicken" I think of one word, "Yummy."  When I talk about fried chicken it is not because I have hateful thoughts about black people on my mind.  It's because I'm hungry and I want to go to AQ Chicken House in Arkansas.

And either the writer of this story mixed some words up or this guy just doesn't make sense:

"There's probably nobody in the building who disagrees more with the President Obama on health care, however, my concerns are the debate should always be about stereotype or anything else," State Rep. T.W. Shannon (R) said.

"My concerns are the debate should always be about stereotype or anything else"??  WTH?

Here is the extremely offensive remark.  Please hide the eyes of your children.  Heck, hide your own eyes.  It is truly horrific.  You probably shouldn't even continue.

"Are we going to have to purchase fried chicken tomorrow for dinner?" Brogdon asked, referring to the federal mandate.

Okay, so let me get this straight.  Brogdon, in referring to the federal mandate ordering us to purchase a product, uses a very common food reference (which he explained later was what he had for lunch) and he is an evil racist who should apologize.

Maybe there were other options...

"Are we going to have to purchase fried chicken escargot tomorrow for dinner?" Brogdon asked. -Nope.  Offended the French.

"Are we going to have to purchase fried chicken tamales tomorrow for dinner?" Brogdon asked.  -Nope.  Offended the Mexicans.

"Are we going to have to purchase fried chicken chicken fried steak tomorrow for dinner?" Brogdon asked.  -Nope.  Offended people who don't want clogged arteries.

"Are we going to have to purchase fried chicken Rokeg blood pie tomorrow for dinner?" Brogdon asked.  -Nope.  Offended the Klingons.

Maybe I'm just looking at this all wrong.  Maybe it feels good to get offended about little nothings.   I tell you what- the next time I hear somebody mention casseroles, I am going to go ballistic!!
