Because there are no coincidences

No sooner had I used a homecoming queen's friendly C-cup smile as a political metaphor than the bodaciously curvaceous Samantha of Day-by-Day makes a not-entirely-unrelated point. And at the same time we behold Shelby Steele touching, as it were, the hem of a garment that is not there:

America's primary race problem today is our new "sophistication" around racial matters. Political correctness is a compendium of sophistications in which we join ourselves to obvious falsehoods ("diversity") and refuse to see obvious realities (the irrelevance of diversity to minority development). I would argue further that Barack Obama's election to the presidency of the United States was essentially an American sophistication, a national exercise in seeing what was not there and a refusal to see what was there—all to escape the stigma not of stupidity but of racism.
Barack Obama, elegant and professorially articulate, was an invitation to sophistication that America simply could not bring itself to turn down. . . .

You should read the whole thing and also visit Day by Day, where Samantha has been known occasionally to appear as naked as the emperor in his new clothes. (Don't hate Samantha. It's not her fault she's as melanin-deficient as Molly Ringwald. Or, uh, Lindsay Lohan.)

Congratulations, Jan and Damon

The "Day By Day" couple have given birth to a beautiful baby boy. Or girl. Either way, a wholly-owned property of Our Enemy, The State:

Best wishes to the newest addition to the world of cartoondom, and condolences to Eric Cartman.

BTW, Mr. Muir, how long will we have to wait for Samantha to get naked again? We've got a little betting pool going here in the right-wing blogosphere, and if she gets naked Tuesday, I'm the big winner. And I've got a side-wager riding with Jules Crittenden, so I win double if Sam turns out to be a natural redhead. IYKWIMAITYD.

On the other hand, if the long-awaited Samantha full-frontal reveals depilation so extreme as to render the natural-redhead issue moot, the double-jackpot goes to VodkaPundit.

If it turns out that she's a tranny, of course, the prize goes to Ace of Spades. That sick freak . . .

UPDATE: Via Twitter direct message, Chris Muir informs me:

• Javier Luciano Thomas weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds; and
• The only way anyone will ever get to see full-frontal nudity of Samantha is by making an extraordinarily generous donation to Muir's tip jar.

Unfortuntately, I lack the Photoshop skills to forge such an image (Samantha + hentai = $$$$), but if somebody hits my tip jar, I might be persuaded to write a 500-word description of a sexy nude cartoon chick.

'Day By Day' goes totally nude?

Chris Muir probably figured that these kids today wouldn't pay attention to an Alexis de Tocqueville reference without the cartoon hottie getting naked.

So yesterday, the redhead was reading her Kindle in the bathtub, and today she's prancing around in the altogether.

Tomorrow? . . . I dunno. But if past is prologue, we could be on the verge of discovering whether Samantha is a natural redhead. On the other hand, maybe she's got one of those Brazilian wax jobs, which would prevent a conclusive determination.

UPDATE: Don Surber dubs Day By Day "evil"? It's as if Don is actually trying to discourage future redhead cartoon nudity.

UPDATE II: Thanks for the commenter's correction: Don actually rated the naked cartoon "Good."
