by saying that the philippine-american chef is kick-ass? a dumb insiders' joke, to be sure, but hardly "playing the race card".
are you actively campaigning for obama or what? i think we all need fair disclosure statements on our political posts. for my part, i plan to vote for mccain, but i have given no money to any candidate in this election cycle and i don't plan to. i am not working for any campaign or any special interest group. anyone else care to make a disclosure?
