When I saw someone's tweet last night suggesting that the "that one" comment was racist I thought it was just one fringe idiot speaking, but I guess the idea is more widespread than that. Of course it's not racist. How I hate this hypersensitivity we have to endure.

You'll remember that during the first debate Obama continually referred to McCain as "John" while McCain called Obama "Senator Obama." I'll bet that if the tables were turned on that occasion and McCain had called Obama "Barack" people would have screamed racism then too.

My blogs TwitterLit (http://www.twitterlit.com) and KidderLit (http://www.kidderlit.com) may be Neatorama-worthy! I post the first lines of books daily. Also of potential interest is my BAFAB site, http://www.buyafriendabook.com.

Trevor, that's exactly what I was thinking.

I got a 34 too, and I live in a Beaver Cleaverish neighborhood. But that's sort of the problem. Note what they say: "Walk Score helps people find walkable places to live. Walk Score calculates the walkability of an address by locating nearby stores, restaurants, schools, parks, etc." They're not judging places by whether they're safe or pleasant to walk in, but on whether you can function in the neighborhood without having a car.
