I enjoy the folks here at DU so much, and I feel so connected to the outside world (I am a stay at home grandma!) and I like to think of the world out there as full of DUers, but, alas, it is not. And there are probably more bigots and generic assholes than I want to think about.

I am glad this paper fired the guy. Any paper needs to be in the present, and those views are going to die out (someday, I hope!)
