It's been over a month since Greenwich Village baker Ted Kefalinos sparked outrage over his so-called "Drunken Negro Face" cookies, and the controversy will still not go away, despite his fumbling attempts to apologize. The New Black Panthers have been protesting on Saturdays outside his bakery, and the Secret Service paid him a visit because of his alleged remarks that "Obama will get he deserves, just like Lincoln." In a Villager article that can only be described as pure gold, Kefalinos says, "I get both sides. I get people who praise me and call me genius.

Or toward the man that exercised his God-given free will and made an item that offended the aforementioned liberal idiots?
Liberals have made it very clear that they are the only ones that can be offended and they reserve the right to be offended only by what they say is offensive.
To hell with them and to hell with Obammy.
That was a great episode. It makes one wonder how a visitor from another planet would view our stupidity.
To which the Asian sushi chef said: "Get a job! You wasting my air. I make more money one day than you make one year."
