California Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein -- both Democrats -- hate black people. Why? Because they would rather build a sculpture garden in Washington State, an animal shelter in Westerly, R.I., (coincidentally home to the world's greatest niece) and two "bridges to nowhere" in Alaska than to help rebuild New Orleans.
