A lack of Education on your part.....
The always interesting Dafydd ab Hugh brings us the tale of MA Gov. Mitt Romney, who recently described the Big Dig fiasco as a "tar baby". Correctly, too, I might add.
Now, in this day and age, as you would expect, certain groups got their panties in a collective twist over THEIR interpretation of the phrase, which they incorrectly assumed was a negative term referring to black people. And made him apologize.
If these asshats would stop banning GOOD literature and movies because of their PC BULLSHIT, and had actually read Uncle Remus or seen Disney's "Song of the South", instead of mindlessly chucking them for the invocation of an unfortunate sterotype or two, they would know that the phrase "Tar Baby" refers to an inanimate object, covered in a sticky substance, that serves no other purpose than the trap the person unlucky enough to touch it.
A "Tar Baby" therefore, is really just a big, sticky, messy problem that will not go away. Sounds like the Big Dig, no?
So let's call a spade a spade, and drop this whole pretended affrontery, ok? As Dafydd says:

Two posts of special note today:
First, Cpt. Chuck Z posts your guide to the semantics of the War on Terror, based on the work of leading Islamic scholars
Second, Smash posts on his encounter with the leaders of the Code Pinkos.... and their demonstrations of bizarre willful ignorance.

Chuck and Carren Z got the star treatment in Vega$. Courtesy of Mr. Wayne Newton. A class act if there ever was one.
