   “Dark.”
   

   
   One of the definitions of “dark” in Urban Dictionary is that “dark” is “Considered good in some circles, with it’s opposite, light having to do with conformity and lack of integrity.”
   

   
   If this is the meaning intended by the big red-headed guy in the dark blue shirt, then he would be approving the wry or odd or mysterious meaning that the students should be “responsible” in some way for the “aftermath” of W.Bush’s war in Iraq that is “unfolding in real time”. Does the general mean “politically” responsible?

   There’s a young woman in my synagogue who is a dead ringer for Ann Coulter.
   When my friend commented on that fact to her, she confessed that she doesn’t know who Ann Coulter is (ignorance is bliss).
   Oh well, it’s been said that everyone has a doppelgänger.

   As citizens of the US, we all bear the collective responsibility for the acts of the leaders.

   She has my deepest sympathy. Ann Coulter is just evil scary.

   Is Colin Powell lurking amid the students as well? The white students wouldn’t know (they all look alike, right?) and the black students wouldn’t care (Collin was/is an UT to them)..

    I’d heard of Ann Coulter, but don’t recall seeing her views on things till the day after Thanksgiving, when this appeared in a column of hers in the Jacksonville, FL, newspaper:
    “To the extent Republicans have a problem with their candidates, it’s not that they’re not conservative enough. Where are today’s Nelson Rockefellers, Arlen Specters or George H.W. Bushes? Happily, they have gone the way of leprosy.”
    Utterly charming.

    “Well, you gotta admit, FL, “Adolf” is a pretty incendiary term.”
    
    

    As for yesterdays comments, I think you may be confused DT, the term “historical arsonist” was directed at Hitler and is in no way incinerary toward anyone except for Hitler himself and shouldn’t bother anybody.

    The use of the racist dog-whistle “dark” is both offensive and unnecessary.
