Vanderbilt’s All-Comer’s Policy?

March 30th, 2012 | No Comments

Much is being made of Vanderbilt Catholic’s decision to not sign Vanderbilt University’s new Non-Discrimination policy.  Basically, it states: Registered student organizations must be open to all students as members and must permit all members in good standing to seek leadership posts. They then go to great lengths to assure everyone that gender discrimination is OK. Everything [...]

Linda Sanchez sees white supremists

June 3rd, 2010 | 3 Comments

Accusing the Arizona immigration law of leading to the slippery slope of racial profiling has apparently worn thin.  Linda Sanchez decided to up it a notch: “There’s a concerted effort behind promoting these kinds of laws on a state-by-state basis by people who have ties to white supremacy groups”,”It’s been documented. It’s not mainstream politics.” [...]

Immediately after the Kentucky US Senate primary, Rand Paul made what a lot of people consider a gaffe that got all kinds of media exposure: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy The entire country went bonkers over the fact that Rand Paul would dare do the unthinkable and dick [...]

Bertha Lewis loves socialists

April 23rd, 2010 | No Comments

Bertha Lewis, CEO of Acorn, is proud to be a socialist. She applauds anyone who calls themself a socialist.  But, that’s not the best part: “Any group that says, ‘I’m young, I’m Democratic, and I’m a socialist,’ is all right with me. You know that’s no light thing to do — to actually say, I’m [...]

Bowgate, Chapter four or five or something like that

February 2nd, 2010 | No Comments

One thing everyone has to give President Obaam, he sure knows how to keep people guessing.   In the past, Obama has made it a sort of semi-habit to bow to some foreign heads of state.  Most usually, it’s to a head of state that bowing down to means absolutely nothing to.  Like, the Queen [...]

Representative Hank Johnson sees racial overtones in the Kanye West slurs

September 15th, 2009 | 5 Comments

Not sure if I got this exactly right.  Let me take another stab at it.  Kanye West, who is black, ripped the microphone from the hands of Taylor Swift, who is white, to assert the fact that Beyonce, who is black, should have won.  Beyonce did indeed win the best video of the year.  Kanye [...]

Justice is blind?

July 13th, 2009 | 1 Comment

Today we’ll start one of the most annoying processes in politics I can think of.  Nominating a Supreme Court justice will bring us a week of guaranteed partisan political bickering and posturing.  No ifs, ands, or butts.  Guaranteed. Now, I don’t have that much of an issue with that aspect of it.  I just won’t [...]

Barbara Lee, Laura Richardson, and Bobby Rush met with Raul and Fidel Castro yesterday.  They met the Castro brothers under the auspices of the Congressional Black Caucus.  They will report their findings to Nancy Pelosi very shortly. Now, someone help me here.  Why would the Congressional Black Congress be negotiating US policy?  Wouldn’t it make [...]

Mumia is still alive and complaining

March 24th, 2009 | No Comments

In December 2006 I wrote about Mumia Abu-Jamal.  He shot a cop in the back and face in 1981 and killed him.  That part is not in dispute.  Now, in March 2009, it’s still in court.  He has been found guilty a few times.  However, for some reason, his case keeps getting appealed and keeps [...]

Chimpanzees are black too

February 20th, 2009 | 1 Comment

This is so amazingly stupid I don’t even know where to begin.  The New York Post ran a cartoon intermingling the events of the violent monkey getting shot in Connecticut and the recent stimulus bill.  Looking at it for two seconds, I got it.  I thought it was very accurate.  This stimulus was so bad [...]
