...Cosbys (or the Bradys). Obama's opponents want him to look niche, like BET or Chris Rock or the NBA; his challenge is to prove that he's also attractive to the ABC and Dane Cook and MLB crowds. During the primaries, Joe Biden took flak for his dopey description of Obama as "the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." Articulate is one of those racially tinged words that sports announcers use to express surprise that a black man can speak proper English, and clean hints at even uglier stereotypes...
...melodies have a perfect mix of ringing and urgency, the aforementioned harmonies soar to heavenly levels, and the songs rock from start to finish.

Despite its dopey title, the verses’ chiming guitar refrain and the infectious chorus make it the catchiest, most ecstatic tune R.E.M. has produced in the last decade.

If Richardson...
...endure insult from even higher-profile teams. The Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians, and Atlanta Braves all mock Native Americans with their names and “traditions.” The Indians’ mascot, Chief Wahoo, comes complete with a red face and dopey smile. Clearly offensive emblems like this are only accepted because they are taken for granted...
