Other Africans of note: Dr Christiaan Barnard, Robert Broom, JRR Tolkien, Athol Fugard, Steve Nash.<br /><br />I had a few moments today to re-read Ms Harris's column from Slate and then to watch again Ms Kelly's original comments and her non-apology apology. I can only conclude that either a) Ms Kelly didn't read it and/or b) she didn't understand it and c)either way, discussing it was a really bad idea.<br /><br />If there are any folks who haven't yet had the chance to read Ms Harris's column, I believe you'll find it worth the time. It really DID carry a humorous tone, and having read it I suspect you'll be hard-pressed to understand why Ms Kelly found it objectionable. <br /><br />My opinion? None. But I believe in twenty-two states Santa had BETTER be white, because Daddy or Mom can cap him, no questions asked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-15721800211651788682013-12-16T17:33:06.058-05:002013-12-16T17:33:06.058-05:00RJ

I know my wife likes it, but - and please don't tell her this - every day after Christmas, when she thinks I am off at work, I am really at the hospital getting my stomach pumped. Not only that, but she's been saving the bottles and now she wants me to put up more shelves on which to display them. I indulged her with the jigsaw puzzle shelves, but I need help drawing the line before I become known as the Neville Chamberlain of living-room decor.<br /><br />your friend,<br />The Goat<br />Harry Finchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04617724467017868532noreply@blogger.com
