The Black House.

Considering the term "White house" refers to purity, straightforwardness and all good things that comes associated with the term. That's teh same reason why white castle is called what its called, because the guy who created it wanted to project an image of clean food, and clean conditions with honesty and integrity.

So am i justified for calling the White House, a Black house. With everything that has gone on within its walls, from the nixon scandal, to Clinton's hummer in the Oval Office to the present Mr. Bush who seems to leave a bad taste on the tounge, i cannot see not to refer the white house as a black house. It seems to have dishonored and distanced itself from its name and true intent.


<-- im thinking of writing an article to a local column on this topic. Actually started on it, but its going to be a while. What are your takes on this. Am I justified on this topic?

Nobody's perfect. People under tremendous pressures are more likely to have tremendous failures. Unless you're perfect, I would suggest not throwing stones at those who fail in their own way.

From the very beginning of our nations founding politicians and presidents have been surrounded by machination. It is nothing new in my opinion and is a microcosm of how base our society is in general.

It was only painted white to cover up the char one of the times it was torched. I dunno if you have an article there.

It should be called the Red House. It is soaked in innocent blood.

Come on. It's a valid question...I mean, the name of one of our most important government buildings is a very important issue

Besides, shouldn't us Democrats be allowed a thread or two to pat each other on the back now and then?

Another dumb neo-con that should shutup and think about the statement.
Clinton gets lucky in the White House and so does JFK, and you call it a liberal thread?

I think it should be red too to remind people it's temporarily being used as a barn.

Not dumb and not a neocon. But the thread is dumb. And it's getting worse.

Maybe you should find a new title of ownership...(Ask why)
