It's like shooting your foot in a barrel

See if you can spot the contradiction implied by these three sentences from the Conservapedia articles on Barack Obama and Affirmative Action President.
If elected, Obama would be the first Affirmative Action President.

An Affirmative Action President is someone selected for that office based partly or entirely on the person's race or gender. Every U.S. President has been a white male.
One would, after all, expect that if race and gender had never previously been used as selection criteria for elected office, that the ratio of female and minority former presidents to white male former presidents would be greater than zero, even if not exactly identical to the ratio of women and minorities to white men in the population in general.

I did not know you blogged your radio show. That's so multimedia! "Multimedia", in turn, is so 90s. But that's coming back. In fact, I've been noticing people have been saying "dude" a lot more.
