Really? A white, male one percenter speaks for black Democrats? Bill Maher on HBO's Real Time Friday said, "If you're thinking about voting for Mitt Romney, I would like to make this one plea: black people know who you are and they will come after you." So he's depicting blacks as knuckle dragging, vicious, violent trouble makers? Add that to booing God and Jerusalem, and the Democrat spokespeople like Maher are a real piece of work.

Gay men thinner than heterosexuals
Some stereotypes are true. Actually, most are based on fact, like the one about librarians not being fashionable and wearing funny shoes.* Seems gay men are skinny and lesbians fat.
"In a study published in American Journal of Public Health, researchers determined that while 21 percent of straight men were classed as obese, only 14 percent of gay men were. The opposite was true of gay women. 26 percent of lesbians were found to be obese, as compared with 17 percent of the straight women."

*When I worked for the State of Ohio in the 80s, I had to dress much nicer than when I worked in a library, and I always wore high heels. But, being me, they were sort of chunky and sensible heels--not over 2". One of my co-workers observed, "So, it's true that librarians wear sensible shoes."
