No. Asking people for money is always tacky.

I don't think the point is to say "I know what it is like to be Trayvon Martin and racially profiled" but rather "I am concerned about Trayvon Martin and those like him who are racially profiled."

Salt and Vin*gger chips had me on the floor weak.

I think my dad has the perfect answer to the Paula Deen disaster:

"Sometimes she mocks my velociraptor impression and it makes me really sad because I'm a good velociraptor."
