A Joke's A Joke, Folks

William R. Farr, A Greeley, Colorado businessman was pretending to read telegrams congratulating this year's award recipient at the National Western Stock Show banquet, when he pulled out a piece of paper and said, "I have a telegram from the White House."

Then he added, "They're going to have to change the name of that building if Obama's elected."

Witnesses said they could hear people gasp in the ballroom of the Adam's Mark Hotel.

People gasped. The poor, sensitive widdle PC delicates. No doubt they swooned, felt faint, got all bug-eyed with shock... all those oh-so correct responses.

Personally, I see no racist undercurrent with the joke. I mean, they have black committees, black study groups, black colleges, on and on almost endlessly.

So what's the big deal?
