Mr Bojangles, redux

In post-modern, post-structuralist, post-racial America, those Blacks who reject identity politics and refuse to allow ascendant group narratives to either identify or constrain them — that is, individuals, who refuse to allow a politically motivated bloc (whose ostensible “leaders” have sold their “own” to the white liberal establishment for time slot on MSNBC or NPR or a cushy tenured job in academia, and through which they each help perpetuate and

Chelsea Clinton hired by NBC

She’ll be highlighting community involvement in the lives of the collective and villages that raise children — likely as a disinterested news person who has no particular political point of view, and so is perfect for a mainstream press outlet that is meticulous about upholding standards of impartiality and objectivity when it comes to presenting the news. Journalism!

Federal Judge: American Flag shirts can be banned in US schools on Cinco de Mayo (or "The Day of the Battle of Puebla")

Because there’s nothing more hateful and intolerant than reminding people what country they’re in. FOXNews: A California school principal did not violate the freedom of speech of a group of students who wore American flags on their shirts on Cinco de Mayo when he told them to turn the shirts inside out or go home, a federal judge has ruled. Citing past clashes between Mexican American and Anglo students over

"What do you think we learn at school? […] You're fucking up our future"

This is what a high school education gets you nowadays. And to think: it’s likely these two particular drones-in-training were part of a private school class helmed by an academic leftist that was dragged into the middle of a TB-infested Occupy Denver movement so disorganized and scattershot in its message that its leadership decided to protest at least 2 times a conference on new media whose message it is to

Occupy Denver comes to Blogcon

Surreality ensues. I have a bit of video of two seventeen-year-old “protesters” who are part of a high school class brought by their teacher — they! are! the 99%! — but since I changed hard drives I can’t remember how to get back into my youtube account to post it (if anybody has an account and wants to host the video, let me know). One of these young ladies told

Veteran's Day and freakish 11-11-11 numerology open thread

111111 A fully expressed anti-binary, mapped onto time. Just typing it gave me chills. Or maybe it didn’t. The point being, you don’t know, do you? –the significance, I mean? — and you may not be in a position to know what you know you don’t know. Is all I’m saying. Man. It’s days like this I wish Robert Anton Wilson weren’t dead. **** update: Or is he?

There's something happening here…

I’m heading downtown to BlogCon11 this afternoon — in time, it seems, for a protest to erupt. The Occupy Denver kiddies got wind of the conference and naturally have to protest it. Because, you know — well, because, uh, KOCH BROTHERS RACISM HATE HATE HATE! Plus, you want to stop anti-Semitism, which is like, a violation of free speech and assembly for Nazis and anti-Zionist intifada champions! Or some such.

A thoughtful take on the Penn State story from a Penn State alum

Something to remember as we climb over each other in our zeal to express our moral outrage. Squid: As a PSU alum, one thing I’d ask is that people give us a few days to process all this. Every big college has a thorough indoctrination program; it’s how they keep the alumni dollars flowing back to Alma Mater year after year. Penn State is worse than most, I’d reckon, and

Pipeline denied

Obama and his State Department need to look more closely at the route, they say. So they’re going to have to delay any decision until after the 2012 elections: The State Department announced on Thursday that it will explore a new route for the TransCanada Keystone XL pipeline, pushing a final decision on the controversial project past the 2012 election. President Obama was under intense political pressure from environmentalists as

"Kagan to Tribe on Day Obamacare Passed: ‘I Hear They Have the Votes, Larry!! Simply Amazing.’"

Yes, but GINNY THOMAS! Plus, look: bunnies!
