Wal-Mart Wins, Women Lose, Stocks Rise

The Supreme Court sided with Wal-Mart against a bunch of malcontents claiming “gender discrimination,” and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 76 points. Mere coincidence, I’m sure we’ll be told — the Wall Street rally is being attributed to encouraging news on the Greek debt crisis — but it seems to me that the court’s pimp-slap […]

‘It Appears He Was Drinking Heavily Before Climbing Behind the Wheel …’

. . . of his 2007 Porsche 911 GT3. And now Ryan Dunn, one of the young idiots who became famous for being famously stupid on the MTV series “Jackass,” has gone on to that Big Reality Show in the Sky: The double fatal crash happened at about 2:38 a.m. on Route 322 near Pottstown Pike […]

Why Is David Epstein Still a Columbia University Professor After Incest Plea?

Jackie Carrero and Mikey Zhong of the Columbia Spectator note that David Epstein is still employed as a political science professor at Columbia University, even after he copped a guilty plea (to the misdemeanor of “attempted incest”) in connection with a case that made headlines in December. Epstein, who had used his blog at Huffington Post to attack […]

WeinerGate: Who Is Starchild111?

At least one reader has complained that it’s time to move on from WeinerGate, and I’m entirely willing to do so — but the dadgum story won’t stop, and stuff just keeps popping up. This “Betty and Veronica” mystery continues bubbling. The person whom Tommy Christopher dubbed “Betty” was  “Nikki Reid” a/k/a “Starchild111,” an alleged teenage girl who […]

He’s Got His. Have You Got Yours?

A sad bit of bitter irony: While unemployment among the general population is about 9.1 percent, it’s at 16.2 percent African Americans, and a bit higher still for African American males. . . . [N]ow it’s at Depression-era levels. The most recent figures show African American joblessness at 16.2 percent. For black males, it’s at […]

Consider the Source

Wes Pruden would have ripped my hide off — this, I freely admit. You don’t hang a story on a single source, especially if that source is anonymous. My old boss at The Washington Times would never in a million years have authorized a story like the two-sentence item I published Friday on The American […]

Fake Twitter Girls?

Friday, Jennifer Preston at the New York Times had an intriguing story about the “Betty and Veronica” sideshow of WeinerGate. I was up to my neck in Right Online at the time, and so didn’t get around to blogging about it Friday, but to those of us who followed WeinerGate in-depth from Day One, this is […]

‘The Problem … Is That Thomas Doesn’t Care What the New York Times Thinks’

Those are some of Professor Glenn Reynolds’ thoughts on exactly why the editors of the New York Times would assign a reporter to do a 2,700-word hit piece on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Twenty-seven-hundred words. That’s four times the length of a typical news story, and the piece essentially re-hashes a Democratic Party talking […]
