Lileks on the Horror of Instagram
I don’t normally comment on clearly not-long-for-this-world aesthetic fads, because that would require me to care about them, and I have very little room for Caring About Things after I’m done damning the Proggies and congratulating my own cleverness. But the Internet’s reigning King of Nostalgia is able to marshal sound and solid arguments against… Read More Lileks on the Horror of Instagram

Equal Pay for Equal Work
It turns out, that’s what’s happening (h/t Instapundit): The Labor Department defines full-time as 35 hours a week or more, and the “or more” is far more likely to refer to male workers than to female ones. According to the department, almost 55% of workers logging more than 35 hours a week are men. In… Read More Equal Pay for Equal Work
Poem in a Pocket Day
My cliche choice: THE SECOND COMING Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are… Read More Poem in a Pocket Day

Justice for Trayvon
George Zimmermann may or may not be guilty of murder. I suspect not, as the evidence indicates that Trayvon attacked him and was beating him senseless when Zimmerman fired.

If a church provides lodging or rents a facility they could not discriminate based on race. It’s along that kind of… Read More Forcing Churches to Have Gay Weddings
Barak Obama Sr. Was a Polygamist…
…and came from a long line of polygamists. Obama Sr. was already married when he left Kenya to study at the University of Hawaii, where he married again. His American wife-to-be, Stanley Ann Dunham, was not yet 18 and unaware of his marital situation when she became pregnant with his namesake son in 1961. Why,… Read More Barak Obama Sr. Was a Polygamist…
Obama isn’t Working, Because Mitt Romney is a Raaaaacist, or Something…
At Patterico, the usual desperate flailing to find cover for President Pup-Eater McFailpants is diagnosed: The slogan is a multiple entendre, but one of those entendres, intentionally or not, is evocative of a nasty racial stereotype about black men. See? It evokes. And your intentions don’t matter, because meaning is determined by the interpreter. See… Read More Obama isn’t Working, Because Mitt Romney is a Raaaaacist, or Something…
