The rush to the bottom

Remember that remark by Vicente Fox that Mexicans take American jobs that even blacks don't want? Remember the outraged reaction from some folks? Well, Farrakhan seems to have realized the wisdom in ceding the bottom of the food chain spot.

Although Fox was sharply criticized for his remarks by some black leaders, Farrakhan said Sunday that blacks do not want to go to farms and pick fruit because they already "picked enough cotton."

Really, it's almost beyond salvation through irony.
