    dachmo says **"I think Barack Obama is the right man for the job, but maybe in the wrong country right about now that will be able to treat it right and give him the pressures that will not allow him to do the job,"** Ahh, What? Not that this matters either way but ...Is Chuck D gay?

    dachmo says I picked up a used gay-dar system from a good friend of mine who is gay (he upgraded when he came out) and then honed my use of it by working in theatre for seven years. So, it's not 100% but it's telling me that Chuck D may actually be Chuck (on the) DL.

    Sturgell says I don't think Chuck is gay, but I have suspected that Flava is a power bottom for a while now.

    Scotch says Chuck's just paving the way for Obama, in case he is elected and fails. If that happens, it was racism, not the fact that Obama lacks the deep ties that make people on The Hill successful. Nevertheless, I think it's Obama's race to lose, and god help us if he fucks up while he's in the White House. I could see him as another Jimmy Carter, who was a well-intentioned lame duck.

    Augusts1 says Regardless of Chuck's orientation, he's getting uglier with time! And not a surprise he's backing Obama.

    contrabandwidth says I don't know about Chuck, but word is L.L. is. I'm not really surprised by Chuck's endorsement at all. In fact I stopped being surprised by anything Chuck said back in Jr. High. Still can't beat the first couple o' P.E. albums.

    Lighter Dusk says I love that when ever conversation anywhere comes to politics, everyone is talking about Obama or Clinton...any one remember that a Republican is running too...Jim Mcdowell or something...anyhoo, I thnk it proves that we're mainly interested in who is going to lead us away from Fuhrer Bush's agenda over who would actually be a better leader. ...but then again, I'm an evil fuck. -Dusk

    Kudzu says I agree with Chuck D (wtf?) The economy is in the shitter. Whoever is elected will have an uphill battle to set things right. Bill just wanted a BJ & look what happened there. Ken Starr. Obama will have to keep his nose cleaner than any other prez.
