The Other McCain

They Told Me If I Voted For McCain, ‘White Folks’ Would ‘Keep’ Charter Schools For Themselves!

by Smitty “If charter schools were so good, why didn’t the white folks keep them for themselves?” This isn’t just wrong; it’s discouraging. When you look at the photo album of Washington DC charter schools, they may not fit the Chicago narrative. Nor, in fact, does the funding news. But its not the reality of […]

Use ‘Derbyshire’ as a Verb

It’s an interesting word-game concept, eh? For years, I’ve advocated the overthrow of the decadent Rich Lowry regime at National Review, hoping that Jonah Goldberg might lead the coup. So my main interest in this remarkable controversy is whether or not it serves to undermine Lowryism. What you might not notice is that this is a […]

The Trayvon Martin Song

by Smitty Here’s a shout out to the Raaaaacism Industrial Complex, busy exploiting a tragedy, to pile evil upon evil: Hoodies on high! Minds tightly closed! #Occupy slouches with quite unsteady step. Comrades shot by the white racist reactionaries March in spirit within our ranks. Clear the streets for the brown battalions, Clear the streets […]

Rick Santorum And The Traditional Justice System

by Smitty Jeffery Levin on Twitter points to The Hill, where Rick Santorum seems strangely unconvinced about the wisdom of a national conference on race in the era of Hope’n’Change: The question. . .was posed to Santorum by talk radio host Laura Ingraham Monday. “Absolutely not,” Santorum said. “This is either a very disturbed man […]

Piers Morgan: ‘What a Load of Fatuous Nonsense You Speak, Touré, Don’t You?’

Watch the video: […]

The Riot Ideology

Yesterday, I mentioned Fred Siegel’s The Future Once Happened Here in connection with the Trayvon Martin case. Siegel’s book is one of those timeless classics — like Christopher Lasch’s The Culture of Narcissism and Thomas Sowell’s The Vision of the Anointed — that I frequently recommend as guides to understanding important social phenomena more deeply.

Right-Winger Provoking ‘Insane’ ‘Racist’ Tea Party Violence … by Chris Rock?

“When Celebrities Attack,” starring Jason Mattera: Ed Morrissey has a point: Even if you think “ambush” interviews are unfair, shouldn’t it be obvious that attacking the camera is a bad idea? Welcome to the Bob Etheridge School of Media Relations!  

Busted: Why Is LGF’s Charles Johnson Now Embracing Louis Farrakhan?

When Charles Johnson went wacko and began purging commenters at his Little Green Footballs blog, he purged some of the most clever “Lizards” whose participation had once made LGF a must-read for many. Among the purged were those who formed Diary of Daedalus and The Blogmocracy, which today join forces to expose how CJ’s pro-Obama turn […]
