SAYS HE’S SORRY

As Kefalinos brushed strawberries with apricot glaze and then stuck them around the edges of a birthday cake, The Villager asked him if he was sorry for making the “Drunken Negro Face” cookie.

“I’m sorry that I offended whoever felt they were offended,” he said. “To me, I liked it. I thought it was cute. But you can’t say that — it winds it all up again.”

Asked who he thought was offended, he said, “I guess mostly African-Americans were offended by it.”

He admitted he didn’t vote for Obama, feeling someone with “more experience” was needed.

As for the visit by the Secret Service, Kefalinos said, “They asked me 10 questions. I had to sign a paper. They asked if I had ever been treated for any mental illness. The answer is no. They asked if I had been to Washington recently...am I a member of any groups.”

Asked what the other eight questions were, he said he would rather not answer.

Regular customers who stopped in for treats showed their support for Kefalinos.

“I know these guys, they’re good people,” said Anahi Angelone, who lives nearby and manages a bar Uptown. “Yes you made a stupid judgment — but it can happen to anybody.”

“I’m 57 years old, and I’ve been coming to Lafayette since I was 5,” said Emily Paine. After some discussion of the protesters, and whether or not they were “legitimate Black Panthers,” Paine asked Kefalinos, “When you said Obama was following in the footsteps of Lincoln — did you mean he was going to be assassinated?”

“I don’t think anybody should be shot,” Kefalinos answered. “And I expressed that to the Secret Service — that’s how bad it got.”

4. Apologies - link corrected

The Villager has been diligent about covering this story.

3. What a fucking dick this guy is.

Yeah...he DIDN'T mean to be offensive.

They asked him if he had a history of mental illness. That's funny.

The second question kinda creeped me out.

5. I really don't think "anybody" is susceptible to that kind of poor judgement.

Seriously. You'd have to be either vicious or aggressively stupid to think the Drunken Negro Face pastry is a good idea.

People: they scare the shit outta me.

6. Another non-apology apology.

I'm sorry to people that felt they were offended? Cripes.

7. If he were a virtual cookie baker on the internet, he'd be called a disruptor.

He certainly does "skirt the line" and then some. His non-apology apology is quite the manifesto (I blew the pic up to read it).

He is one of those small people who gets a kick out of getting people pissed off. Such a waste of energy. I guess it makes him believe that his life has more meaning than it seems to be cracking up to have for him.

8. WTF about this justifies a visit from the Secret Service?

It's stupid. It's offensive. Neither of which are within the jurisdiction of the Secret Service. Guy should have politely told them to leave him the fuck alone.

9. In previous installments, he predicted Obama would end up like Lincoln

As cited by a customer interviewed on Fox News.

14. That makes more sense, then.

10. He needs to make

white buttcrack dinner rolls to atone for his thoughtless douchbaggery.

11. Bushbuns!

12. "white buttcrack dinner rolls"

As long as they don't come with brown gravy... :scared:

[libodem]

13. Yes that would be cr-ass

My friends actually make them by putting 2 frozen Rhodes dinner rolls in a muffin tin. They come out looking just like a big white butt. Well maybe golden brown. :)
