Let the post-racial healing begin! On Thursday, MSNBC’s Al Sharpton took the race card to a whole new level by falsely claiming Republicans are like Hitler, and are prepared to kill African-Americans en masse. “It seems like they [Republicans] act as though, some wiping out of people, some of the right-wing, is all right, it’s not all right to do to any innocent people. If you had war and people

Some wingnut Birthers are pointing to this as yet another of Obama’s rhetorical blunders — see, for instance, Polish death camps, eg., which the White House has already explained — but what this truly shows is that in Obama, we have a President who transcends mere politics and allows his prodigious (and, some say, otherworldly) intellect to engage myriad areas of interest, such as college basketball tournaments or BCS title

CEI Senior Attorney Hans Bader on yesterday’s maneuvering in the Walker/Kimberlin saga and a Maryland judge’s ruling that has resulted in much leftwing online triumphalism, despite the clear assault on free speech such a ruling represents. — Or perhaps that’s the part of the ruling they’re most excited about.  Tyranny being to the progressive a necessary condition for policing the Great and Good they insist their subjects adopt. Writes Bader:

When reading this by David Frum, just think of broken clocks. President Obama just slapped in the face one of America’s closest allies in Europe. I’m looking for comment in the American media, and I find … wire stories reporting a spokesman’s apology for the president’s “misstatement”? The president intended to honor Jan Karski, a Polish-born U.S. citizen, who died in 2000. Karski was a hero of the Polish resistance,

The Swirly Cone of Allah, redux. I’d write at length about this — particularly about the underlying linguistic assumptions being relied upon here and about how surrendering to those assumptions will only lead to more linguistic tyranny — but honestly, why bother? I’ve done it before, and nobody much cares to take the steps necessary to regain control over the language. Mostly, it would seem, because it’s cost-prohibitive and potentially

“Aaron Worthing” / Aaron Walker was arrested after a hearing in MD for violating “peace order” against convicted bomber Brett Kimberlin. According to sketchy early accounts, Kimberlin claimed he’d received death threats as a result of Walker’s blogging about his past crimes and present activities. As some of you will recall, I was able to obtain a legitimate order of protection against serial stalker Deb Frisch, who was posting the

Only this time it’s the sequel to Escape from LA rather than its forerunner. Not that it matters: many of the people who leave failed liberal states will simply settle into a new state and get to work on destroying it, too. For instance, the Colorado of the 70s didn’t eat quiche. Then California threw up. And now we’ve become inundated with social locusts voting themselves and the rest of

…then it’s time to subsidize it. After all, how can a society like Britain’s justify not listening to visionaries who, as champions of the Greater Good working with the Best of Intentions, are so self-evidently righteous? Moreover, why should such an obviously benighted and unappreciative society even be allowed to try? Now. Eat your peas.

Thus sayeth Bloomberg: For more than a generation, Wall Street has been able to recruit the world’s best and brightest mostly by promising them more money than they can possibly make elsewhere. Indeed it is the rare Wall Street employee, especially among those just starting out, who admit to being motivated by anything other than the fat paychecks they have been promised. But when that promise can no longer be
