It's like CNN or the Herald. I go to those sites to be entertained, then on to RTE for the serious stuff. <furrowed brow emoticon>

BBC is where it's at. Top notch quality news.

Karl Hungus

Yep, a fuss over nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Idiots who make an issue of something like this are doing nothing but propagating racism themselves.

Ah yeah forgot about the BBC! How could I!?

Anyways, yada yada yada Obama at the cusp of yet another near-racial slur. Yada yada yada. People taking life too seriously, yada yada yada.
