There's Something in the Water

President Bush spoke to the NAACP yesterday, and his speech drew mixed reviews from the attendees. However, Bush's speech definitely wasn't the most entertaining of the convention (from Special Report):

Comedian, activist, and onetime presidential candidate Dick Gregory told this week's NAACP convention that white racists are turning blacks into criminals — by poisoning their food and water. Gregory said, "They convince you that I'm just a heathen... [but] I murder because something's in my food, something's in my water." He didn't say whom he meant by "they."

Gregory went on to claim that white-owned beer companies spike malt liquor with manganese, saying, "Once you get so much manganese in you, you will kill your momma."

He also claimed the FBI has secret documents "on the relationship between lead exposure and homicide," and that "polluted water can cause brain damage that turns ordinary people into violent criminals."

This time the comedian apparently wasn't trying to be funny. He was just responding to the voices in his head.
