Ann Coulter has written a column that somehow, someway uses the tragic death of Columbia grad student Minghui Yu to insult Barack Obama and Obama's grandmother and grandfather, whom Coulter refers to as "racist" and "worthless and lazy", respectively.

Coulter goes on to paraphrase a story about Obama's grandparents in which his grandmother wanted a ride to work and his grandfather told her she should take the bus instead. Turns out, this is because Grandma Obama saw an unfriendly black person on the bus, who frightened her. Grandpa Obama took young Barry Obama aside and explained that Grandma was a racist. Or something.

Anyway, directly following the story, Coulter proceeds to make fun of Obama for being offended by his allegedly racist grandmother. Logically, Coulter asks: "If Obama is sent reeling by the mere words of an elderly white woman, how is he going to negotiate with a guy like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? What if Ahmadinejad calls him 'booger-face'? Will he run crying from the table?"

Oh also, in the last paragraph, Coulter manages to refer to Obama's grandfather and Barack's plan to hold talks with Iran "a loser" and "stupid", respectively.

Thank you, tipster Christopher Duncan!

As we reported yesterday, HamDel decided to stop accepting Flex Points. The secession came as a surprise to CCSC and to the positively Lincolnian Michael Novielli (of Student Auxiliary and Business Services), who stopped by HamDel today to speak with the owner, Nick.

According to Nick, the long lines of students eager for sandwiches and eager to pay with Flex were alienating his "regular customers." (Though Bwog would have guessed that most "regular customers" are probably students.) Anyway, the long lines and longer wait time defied some basic tenets of economics and somehow equated in a loss of customers/profit, finally driving Nick to oust Flex from HamDel.

Novielli's full email after the jump.
