Update II: I had a fit of the giggles after reading the feedback on this post. Some of you commenters really ought to lighten up. They have pills for that, you know. 
You don’t like this post? OK, I get it. It’s a good thing I blog for myself and not for liberals or conservatives, haters or fans. You’ll live. Maybe… 
Update: Commenter and blogger Doug says:
Hardly seems fair for so many to be picking on La Shawn for posting this…Is it hard to believe that someone with political power who rapes women would shy away from murder to protect that power?

Last Monday was the 10th anniversary of Ron Brown’s death. At the time of his death, Brown was Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Commerce. Before that he was the first black chairman of the Democratic National Committee. There hasn’t been a black chairperson since, and I made much ado about it here and here.
At this point, I always have to remind the dim-witted that Republicans aren’t hypocrites because they don’t have a black person chairing this or that committee. Democrats are the ones preaching and screeching on the value of skin-deep diversity. Preaching but not practicing is what makes one a hypocrite.
Brown and 35 of his fellow passengers were killed when their plane crashed in Croatia. That’s the story anyway. The conspiracy theorist in me came out of the closet when I learned Brown may have had a bullet wound in his head. You may recall that Clinton’s presidency was rife with ethical challenges. Ron Brown knew quite a lot, I’m sure.
Jack Cashill, a writer and producer, offers a wild theory, although he says it’s “speculative in part” but “follows the evidence in full.”:
They make their way to St. John’s Peak and up the mountain. The bodies are scattered, and there are only a few black men among them. They pull out the photo of Brown and start checking. Brown is not hard to find. But what stuns the men is that he is farther from the plane than is anyone else. He appears to have crawled there.
The leader kneels down next to Brown and turns him over on his back. He is still not sure whether Brown is dead or not. He has no obvious fatal wound. The leader pulls out his pistol and fires skillfully into the laceration on the top of Brown’s head. In this part of the world, no one even blinks at the sound of gunfire.
Just as many witnesses to John F. Kennedy’s murder died under suspicious circumstances, so have witnesses to Slick Willie’s, including Vince Foster, who was the White House deputy counsel when he supposedly blew his brains out in Fort Marcy Park in Virginia. (Evidence of a cover-up?)
Have you seen the Clinton Body Count list, which has been floating around the Internet for years? Each of those suspicious deaths can be explained, I’m sure, but still…
