Well, it seems that a hangman's noose has been found at Columbia University. Of course, everyone's going all ape-shit again. This is in addition to the noose found at the Coast Guard Academy, the one found at the University of Maryland, and of course, the one that started it all in Jena, Louisiana.

Of course, rallies have been held, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the rest of the Black agitators have marched, and yet, everyone seems to be missing the two real questions that need to be answered: First, why, in 2007, do we still have an informal segregation that produces things such as "black bleachers" and a "white tree?" It doesn't surprise me that Sharpton, Jackson, and the rest of the crazies aren't focusing on this, as they're particularly poorly positioned to do so (remember Tawana Brawley?).

But even leaving this alone, the bigger question is who actually knows how to tie a noose, anyway? Does anyone else find it disturbing that people can't handle basic math, but they can tie nooses? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
