The Obama-is-Muslim idiocy is being recycled big time in the nut-o-sphere, though it has mutated. Various writers and bloggers, from VDH to nut Jeffrey Kuhner (Why Obama is a cultural Muslim posted today) are trying the back door approach.

This sort of idiocy has gone on for way too long, as have the dog-whistle racism of so much of the right wing pundits/talkers. It’s become a real detriment to sound polity in this country.

I changed my avatar back when it was becoming clear that Obama - the person and the story - was going to be problems for a larger-than-I-wish chunk of this country. (It was easy to tell when Hillary’s campaign were floating all those trial balloons.) I probably should have done it a bit sooner, but even when I did put up that avatar it did get some notice and succeeded in flushing out a few people.

Now, I’m bored with the avatar and since so many images like it have been spread around the net my avatar looks derivative, so I need to come up with a new one.

Not sure what it will be, but I’m working on it. Given hour backwards part of our society is turning there is plenty of material with which to work.
