Is Public Sector Racism Any More Effective Than The Historical Flavor?

by Smitty Via Insty, Court decisions dating to the 1950s theoretically ended racial segregation of higher education in the United States. But data to be presented today at the annual meeting of the American Economic Association show that the pace of desegregation has slowed over time. And in a finding that could be controversial, the […]

AFL-CIO OMG WTF?

Lee Stranahan returned my phone call today. He was in Lansing, Michigan, to cover this week’s union goonfest for Breitbart.com, and he told me the story of what happened to Clint Tarver. Clint is a beloved local figure, his hot dog stand across from the Michigan state capitol being a sort of institution, a landmark. […]

If An Authority On The Bigger Digger Rigger Trigger, Like Snoop Dogg, Says This, Then The Case Is Closed

by Smitty Source: The Blaze. If everyone can successfully be labeled using the adjectiveepithet ‘nigger’, then the word has achieved the innocuousness of a three-letter word for a young man. I am so fed up with those who pervert the language with follow-on, pejorative meaning the speaker never intended, I could just scream. It’s one […]

What Hath Daily Caller Wrought?

Slept late today because I figure I’ll be up late writing about tonight’s debate, and I didn’t participate in the Drudge-induced hype over yesterday’s Daily Caller/Sean Hannity release of a 2007 video, e.g., Allahpundit: It’s the talk of Twitter and of our comment threads, so here’s a dedicated post to let your imaginations run wild.

The New O-Phone Is Here!

Many people are excited about Apple’s latest upgrade to the iPhone, but this Obama voter was even more excited about the free phone she got because (she says) of President Obama: Rush Limbaugh says this is the “new model citizen,” and liberals have predictably rushed to condemn this as RAAAAACIST: The Obama Phone video belongs to […]

The political blog burntorangereport.com first talked about the display in the Spicewood Estates area Wednesday night.

Obama: An Authentic Phony

Back during the 2008 GOP primary campaign — most of which actually happened in 2007 — I wasn’t yet an independent blogger, but was “a man under authority” at The Washington Times. Working on the news side of the operation, the public expression of my opinions was streng verboten, which of course didn’t mean I […]
