I say naming your kid "Yourhighness" is a stupid thing to do, which it most certainly is, and I'm a racist.
I take your point, BBA. But, before you trivialize the Clinton's bigotry, read this from one of the most perceptive and intelligent political commentators in America, Christopher "God Is Not Great" Hitchens: see It should be no surprise that the Clintons are playing the race card. - By Christopher Hitchens - Slate Magazine

I don't agree with the premise of his book, God Is Not Great (in fact, the whole premise is misleading and sophomoric, unusual for CH), but his political ear is well tuned.
