SayUncle is a lot of things, but racist bastard isn’t one of them. He’s right. Racism, sexism, and religious bigotry aren’t by any means things of the past. Not by a long shot.
Uncle does still insist on calling Obama a socialist, however. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
[Side note: I almost made “racist bastard” the link, but then had visions of SayUncle becoming the top google for “racist bastard” and changed it.]
UPDATE: It would seem that the same cannot be said for a lot of his commenters, however…

I have a confession: For the better part of the last three years, I’ve been without a working smoke detector in my house.
I bought the house about five years ago, and it was equipped with a smoke alarm in the hallway connecting the bedrooms. But we started getting false alarms — a lot of them. Tried changing to a new battery, same result. The result was ultimately to remove the battery from the detector. Realizing this is a Very Bad Idea, I put the battery back, and we started getting false alarms again. There was no visible dirt in the detector, so I figured the detector itself must be the problem. I went out and bought a brand-spanking-new battery-operated smoke detector, and installed it. Different detector, same problem: relatively frequent false alarms. I’ve even tried moving the detector to a different part of the hallway, with no change in results.
So this leads to two questions:
1: WTF?!
and
2: What can I do to fix this? I really need a working smoke detector in the house.
Any and all serious suggestions are appreciated.
