People often ask me how I got to be so edgy; about how I developed the talent to cut to the bone of today's hot button issues with such remarkable acuity and hilarity.

I was born into it.

This weekend I was talking to a relative on the telephone. The relative asked me if I'd heard about the American girl who'd disappeared in Aruba. I said yes, and we briefly discussed what a shame the incident is. The relative, who'd been watching the news coverage of the disappearance very closely, then said that it wasn't looking good for the girl.

"How so?" I queried.

"Well, they arrested someone involved in it. A black. Native."

I didn't say it, but I thought the only appropriate satirical response: Typical.


A black native, above, was arrested.
