The way-too-white correspondents at FAUX News Fraudcasting and their lily white viewers have something else they can freak out over: the "browning" of America. The days of white privilege are ticking down like their Countdown-to-the-Rapture clocks. It won't happen by May 21st, Evangelist Group Predicts End of World is May 21, 2011, but it will happen soon.
