So: The economy is in bad shape, the deficit’s gonna sextuple, North Korea is restarting its nuclear program, Pakistan is close to chaos...

USA Today:

Three months after taking office, President Obama will convene... a Cabinet that experts say is the most diverse in history. It will have seven women and nine racial and ethnic minorities among its 21 members — and only eight white men. Average age: 54.

“He has a majority-minority Cabinet,” says Paul Light, an expert on presidential appointments at New York University. “In terms of white males, they're in the minority now.”

And I though that the election of Barak Obama as President meant that the country had “moved beyond” race, that the ethnic scorekeeping would be over, and that we could finally begin tackling the more “important” stuff.

Silly me!

Looks like we’ll have to wait for the legacy media to complete its crash-and-burn. Which, IMO, can’t come any too soon.
