'The Pony in Slavery'?!?!
Wonkette seizes on a potential new catchphrase in the making - used to justify slavery in America. Yeah, it was God's way of bringing black people to America.
Courtesy of opinion writer Adele Fergusen in the Kitsap (WA) Peninsula Business Journal:
"Remember Ronald Reagan’s story about the kid who had to shovel a huge pile of manure? He went about it with such joy he was asked why and said, "With all that manure, there’s got to be a pony in there somewhere."
The pony hidden in slavery is the fact that it was the ticket to America for black people. I have long urged blacks to consider their presence here as the work of God, who wanted to bring them to this raw, new country and used slavery to achieve it."
Says Wonkette: "The pony in slavery," people. Like the toy in a box of Cap’n Crunch. If Cap’n Crunch were, say, made of poison. And it took several generations and thousands of lives to get to the toy. And then when you got the toy, you weren’t allowed to play with it for another hundred years."

I had a GM who kept talking about "finding the pony in the pile". I had no idea where that saying came from, or exactly what it meant until now. Who said that blogs aren't beneficial?!
This statement is conceptually the same as Barbara Bush's comment about how Hurricane Katrina was a boon to all the black people who got a free (one-way) bus ride to Texas. Next, are we going to hear how the Trail of Tears was a character-building experience?
Nice site!
