And there was much rejoicing (yaaaay)

In this article about blacks leaving blue states in droves (which could be a good sign if they realize why it is the blue states they are leaving are the way they are) ... there's another little silver lining
Bob Herbert, for many years the only regular Black columnist on the New York Times‘ op-ed page (and hey, what's up with that, progressives??? - ed.), has written his last column before stepping down.
I don't really care what color he is -- to wit, my very favorite columnist is Thomas Sowell -- but Bob Herbert's column space was always worse than a waste.  It would have been better had it just been however many column spaces of blank space.  Hey Paul & Maureen ... wouldn't you like to golf for the rest of your lives?  Think about it.  Bob's already got the tee times lined up.

If the NYT wants a real, thoughtful black columnist, it should consider picking up Sowell.

Sowell wouldn't want anything to do with the NY Slimes, and they wouldn't want anything to do with him.

He'd reject them because they're in a stubborn state of denial about the real problems with what's going on in America's black communities, as well as our national economy.

The Slimes will find some other left-wing moron to take over Herbert's space. Doesn't seem to be any shortage of kook-fringe netroots types out on the blogosphere...where frankly people should know better than to write progressive trash.
