Ouch.

I copied part of a posting from angryasianman, the rest of it is there.

but here's the excerpt:
Now that we're looking at the serious possibility that John McCain could be elected President, I think it's important that people are continually reminded of his past use of the racial slur "gook," as in "I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live." He said this eight years ago on the campaign trail, referring to the the prison guards who tortured and held him captive during the Vietnam War: McCain Criticized for Slur.The fact that someone running for public office—the President of the United States, no less—would unabashedly use this term, and then repeatedly refuse to apologize for it (he eventually did), is reasons enough for me to question his character. We as Asian Americans are no strangers to racial epithets being thrown our way, whether they're meant as "jokes" or meant to cause harm. Here, "gook" was clearly being used as expression of resentment. The fact that McCain was a P.O.W. does not excuse him from harboring these feelings. Why is this even under debate?

poor journalism. is that what you call a 'sensational headline?'

Thoughts about Father's Day

There was some emails going around my family about Father's Day. And that we should celebrate with a BBQ, for it was my 'First Father's Day.' for some reason, I was uncomfortable with it. Why was I uncomfortable? I think I was uncomfortable with the attention, but not that I am a father now. I love being a father, I just didn't want the 'sympathy treatment.' Weird, huh? I know many of the adoptive Mothers were all over the attention and well-wishing. Maybe I don't want to steal any thunder from DW. Maybe other A-dads felt the same as me?

So anyway, I agreed to a BBQ on Saturday, choosing to spend Sunday with our nuclear-3 family. And it was a fantastic time! A couple of cards, some small gifts, and a great time playing with all of the kids!
