I posted a link to part of this interview earlier.
Trouble with falsely painting a guy as the devil incarnate is that that is easily proven false. I bet a lot of lefties are re-examining their sources after seeing in his interview just how much of a nice guy he really is.
In her two-part profile of [...]

Patterico reports that the Judge who sued for $10,000,000 over a single pair of lost (and quickly found) pants has been fired from his job as a judge.
Good.

It seems that in New Jersey, a full half of the state would like to leave, if they could.
Even New Jerseyans can’t stand living in New Jersey, according to a new poll that said nearly half of adults residing in the Garden State want to pull up stakes.The Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey Poll, released Wednesday, [...]

Newsbusters is a brilliant site for throwing the spotlight onto MSM hype. Their latest expose is on an attempt to generate fear about a “Racism Epidemic“.
They point out the “growing list” of racist organisations includes an organisation that “had former President Ronald Reagan as member of its Advisory Board”. Sounds like someone just wants to [...]

Unfortunately, this rings all too true…
I recently wrote about my Wife’s experience while serving at a hospital in Tanzania with a 24 year old New Zealander. The girl was well versed in anti-American propaganda and felt compelled to heap abuse on my Wife. The Wife is quite capable of defending herself, but she lacks my [...]

This is really, really funny. Chris expects a friendly interview, but Jon pulls apart everything he says. “It strikes me as a self hurt book” is one of Stewart’s opening statements.
All in good fun, very funny. Reminds me of the old days of the Daily Show, before Bush became the but of every second joke.

Heh. There’s a bit of history being dug up at the moment, with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas (he’s the black, conservative one) having written his autobiography.
This has bought out all those crackpots who think it’s a criminal offence for a black man to be a conservative. Including one Jeffery Toobin who recently opined that [...]

NRT and Mia both mention this story.
Let’s put another spin in there…
What lesson must California’s high school students be learning from this sort of incident? That authority is vicious, arbitrary, racist, brutal, and will stop at nothing to protect itself and avoid being held accountable for its actions. Which kind of sums up California in [...]

I’d like to comment fully on the Jena 6 situation at some point, but I don’t have time at present. But Patterico has some facts that you most likely won’t see in the media.
Seems to me that the white guys were in the wrong with some extremely hateful racist attitudes that should be condemned by [...]

… but take a look at this press release (h/t Instapundit) from Texas Governor Rick Perry responding to the European Union’s request that he enact a moratorium on the death penalty:
“230 years ago, our forefathers fought a war to throw off the yoke of a European monarch and gain the freedom of self-determination. Texans long [...]

This has to be the most absurd lawsuit ever.
Riches alleges that Vick stole two white mixed pit bull dogs from his home in Holiday, Fla., and used them for dogfighting operations in Richmond, Va. The complaint goes on to allege that Vick sold the dogs on eBay and “used the proceeds to purchase missiles from [...]

Oh, this is great:
Her calm reply:
It’s the best democracy in the world. It’s the best place to be.
On CBC, this constitutes blasphemy. Lewis was becoming visibly unhinged as he sputtered:
Tell that to the people who believe there have been a couple of stolen elections. That the democracy is completely broken.
When she countered his allegations that [...]

Patterico points out the extent of the LA Time’s obsession with Paris Hilton. Check out all these stories:
Meanwhile, a murdered 17 year old gets almost no coverage:
Where are the trucks, Mr. Martin? I’ll tell you. They’re downtown, covering Paris Hilton. Meanwhile, you were certainly naive to assume that Quanisha Pitts would merit any space at [...]

Paris has been sent back to jail… for the entire 45 days.
The celebrity heiress was ordered to attend the hearing rather than listen to the proceeding by telephone.
Hilton left jail on Thursday, just three days into a 45-day sentence for violating probation on a driving ban.
Her release from the prison, on unspecified [...]

This quote needs no further explanation.
A few years ago, Muslims won a lawsuit that entitled them to amplify the call to prayer five times a day from loudspeakers atop mosques in Dearborn. “You can hear it loudly a half-mile to a mile away,” Saieg reports.
“They have many mosques in Dearborn, and everybody in the [...]
