Back then, any Europe circus show off with a black face was considered a black man, a Negro. If from Australia, Africa or India, same thing. They all looked the same as conceptually digested by the astonished Europeans. Reminds me of Japan up to the late 60s, white people travelling there were often approached by kids but also by grown ups asking for their autographs. Taro

Rezkozation Victor Davis Hanson The Corner Tom Daschle is a three-fer: a) he makes a mockery of a new administration pledge to free itself from lobbyists since he and his wife are, well, power lobbyists incarnate. b) he makes a mockery of past Democratic praise of taxes as patriotic given his own tax cheating and his own former invective about those who do what he did; c) he makes a mockery of the old Democratic populist creed. Like Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, he rails about corporate greed and Wall Street perks while he too is deep at the trough. If an administration is going to make a moral case against the pernicious role of D.C. lobbyists and insiders, for the moral need for taxes on the upper incomes, and for suspicion of perks and freebies—then why pick Daschle, whose free limo and tax evasion make all that look ridiculous? (But then why pick Geithner, or Richardson, or Lynn, or . . . ?) corner.nationalreview.com
