There Is No Cat

First against the wall when the revolution comes

This story about rich people getting free stuff makes me think of nothing so much as an old Saturday Night Live sketch. Eddie Murphy was made up to be a white man, and when he went out into the world was amazed to find that there was a giant conspiracy among white people where they didn’t have to pay for anything ever, at least not so long as there were no non-white people around. Winks all around. Clearly the way it really works is that you have to be green, not white. Creepy. Because, after all, who needs free stuff more than rich people. I think I’ll have to keep track of what’s being pimped and make sure I don’t buy it. (via Dan Gillmor)
