Newt Gingrich Co-Sponsored the 1987 Pro-Fairness Doctrine Bill. Now sure, people evolve. And political positions change, oftentimes for reasons that have less to do with expediency than they do a very laudable intellectual reconsideration. Having said that, my concern with Newt was and continues to be that he is simply too clever by half. And his kernel argument seems always to be that, because a particular position is currently favored

Allah is already Tweeting that we’re going to lose this, having lost Judge Silberman, a staunch Reagan appointee. Me, I’m not so sure. Silberman based his ruling on Wickard, and even the Administration had, in other venues, given up the particular line of argument that runs through an already overextended Commerce Clause. Which is why it’s crucial that SCOTUS put this matter to bed — and that hopefully it does

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

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!

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

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

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

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?

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.

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
