I like Margaret Cho's blog: she slays me, but she is also incredibly astute. In one particular entry about ignorance (or "ignance," as she calls it), she as an aside brings up her theory about relationships of the "dancing candlestick variety":

For example, "We cannot go see the fireworks display there on the Fourth of July because that place is 70% Mexican" and he was not kidding, that it was not an ironic twist on pie charts and race, that it was actually a 100% racist statement. made the relationship one of the dancing candle variety (one earlier discussed as the "Beauty and the Beast" phenomenon, when one partner is outrageously better than the other, so much so it leaves the outside observer to beg the question, "Where the dancing candle at?").
