Poor Geraldo…Not a whole lot happening near Tora Bora these days (comparatively, that is), so Commander Rivera has taken to interspersing his Fox News “Live” reports with video highlights of his recent dramatic exploits — y’know, a kind of “greatist hits” compilation — him geraldo-ing over rocks, geraldo-ing through caves and tunnels, geraldo-ing donkeys and horses with admirable aplomb… Meanwhile the “Live” Geraldo, his voice tinged with the stoic’s resolve,

Let’s Run Chomsky Through a SuperDuper Jive-a-lizer!
Using this cool li’l site, I ran some of Big Noam’s argot salad through a rigorous conversion process, yielding this homoglossial booty — the voice of a traditionally marginalized group (Jazz musicians?) holding forth on the topic of “Silent Genocide”: Looks likes whut

Sportin’ the Velvet Beret of “Otherness”…
Cap’n Den Beste’s at it again — floatin’ perfectly phrased micro-nuggets out into the cyber ether (de-lish with a honeymustard dipping sauce, them micro-nuggets): What are the purported goals of multiculturalism? To understand other people and how they live, to accept them for what they are. What would be the best test of that? To actually live among them and to blend in, wouldn’t it be? So what group of

Who Stole Christina Hoff Sommers’ Schtick?
Christopher Pellerito points to this article detailing a Michigan federal district judge’s ruling that the MHSAA, the governing body for high school sports in Michigan, discriminates against female athletes by virtue of its scheduling practices. Apparently, the Michigan High School Athletic Association transposes girl’s volleyball and basketball seasons (between fall and winter), and the two lawyers from near Grand Rapids who brought the suit allege that this format denies girls

McBlogs? (Or, Have it your way….?)
U. of Chicago’s Cass Sunstein’s essay “The Daily Me” argues that those of us who use the internet as our news source tailor our link choices to sites that reinforce what we already believe. Both Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit and Perry de Havilland of Libertarian Samizdata have other ideas, however — including this volley from Perry: I suspect that customised news from the established media’s on-line outlets is not all
Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles’ song…
Spinsanity’s done with it’s non-partisan breakdown of “The John Walker Attack on Liberalism,” a review of the conservative punditry’s rhetorical strategies in examining the Johnny bin Walker phenomenon.

While most debate focuses on how he should be punished, a number of right-leaning pundits
