Not only are some ideas so goofy as to be beyond belief, it is even more unbelievable that the "mainstream press" would even consider publishing them.

AS EVERY CARBON-BASED life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president. Since making his announcement, there has been no end of commentary about him in all quarters — musing over his charisma and the prospect he offers of being the first African American to be elected to the White House.

But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination — the "Magic Negro."

Can you imagine the uprorar if a conservative wrote this crap? It would -- rightly -- be denounced as racist. Why isn't it when it comes from a liberal?
