When someone's comments are so outre to make me cringe, that's really saying

something. The last line of this message is the kind of "ethnic comedy" that

always sounds a lot funnier to people with "safe" backgrounds. I think it
betrays
a lack, not only of taste, but of basic political judgement to proffer it to
someone
named "Weinstein": were you seriously involved in supporting a McKinney
candidacy, talk like that would make her more radioactive than she already
is.
(Then again, I feel the same way about Louis's periodic calls to execute
people
who annoy respectable burghers in a spasm of revolutionary Total Quality
Management, so maybe I don't understand the true exigencies of regroupment.)
