Another Opportunity for Honkies to Express their Superiority Over the Wrong Kinds of White People
Jeff Goldstein describes the new racial show trials. In a campaign reminiscent of the Soviet show-trials of the late 1930′s, where the “enemies of the People” publicly confessed their “crimes” against the Soviet, The University of Minnesota – Duluth (UMD) is actually sponsoring a campaign, declaring “whites” the enemy of the people and showing these enemies confessing their crimes of… Read More Another Opportunity for Honkies to Express their Superiority Over the Wrong Kinds of White People
Should Regulations Even Exist?
Canadian Rattlesnake dives into the issue. Regulations seem to function as prior restraint: that is, they seek to prevent, or limit, certain undesirable outcomes. Criminal laws and torts seek to punish such actions after the fact. Can pollution be a crime? Can you sue for salmonella? I honestly don’t know.
Bloomberg vs. Rasmussen
Bloomberg has Obama up 13 points. Rasmussen has Romney up 2. I mention these because they’re the most recent polls, and they’re polls of Likely Voters, not just Registered Voters. Now that’s an 11-point difference. Rasmussen’s sample is about double the size, but that’s the only noticeable difference. So unless Bloomberg is heavily weighting Democrats,… Read More Bloomberg vs. Rasmussen

A Suggestion to Those Who Consider it Impossible to Make Fun of Obama
He’s a politician, which means that his first language is lies. If you can’t make that funny, you need to give it up. This is not LOL funny, but it’s not bad, even if it is ideologically charged. I know our professionals can do better. So I am forced to conclude that they don’t want… Read More A Suggestion to Those Who Consider it Impossible to Make Fun of Obama
“FDR Couldn’t Make it In Today’s Democratic Party.”
They used to say that about Harry Truman.
The Falsehood of “Access”
In the Civil Rights Era, people on either side of the debate understood “access” to refer to being able to enter a place and do business there according to one’s ability. Blacks having “access” to the same public amenities — drinking fountains, bathrooms, luncheon counters, seats on buses, voting booths — as whites did meant… Read More The Falsehood of “Access”
Shred Party
I am elbow-deep in a task that’s been building for months: the re-org of my home office. So I shan’t have anything satisfying to read hear today. Fortunately, Victor Davis Hanson has plenty: Two parties, left and right, are central to good consensual government — one the perennial check on the other, both within the… Read More Shred Party
