  1. Hans Bader, Maryland’s Unconstitutional School Discipline Quotas.

    Crimes and infractions are not evenly distributed across racial groups, as the Supreme Court noted in United States v. Armstrong, 517 U.S. 456 (1996). As that 8-to-1 Supreme Court ruling noted, there is no legal “presumption that people of all races commit all types of crimes” at the same rate, since such a presumption is “contradicted by” real world data…

    The whole thing here.

  2. Cliff Kincaid at AIM.org (Accuracy in Media):

    Fear has set in at MSNBC. Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow are in a state of panic over the idea that Mitt Romney may appeal to white voters and that Obama may not. That Obama is running a campaign based on black racism and exploitation of ethnic divisions in society is of no concern to them…

    You can read it here.

  3. Last night Dennis Miller appeared on Jay Leno’s show. You can watch the two segments here and here. On the assumption that Leno was speaking sincerely on the topic of “compassion”, one gets a very clear insight into the mind of an intelligent Left leaning person. To them it seems that “results” don’t matter, only “intentions”. So it matters not a whit to them that Obama & Co. have been incredibly inept at managing America, only that they “meant” to do well. Yet, in their everyday lives, would they keep doing business with a company that constantly messed up?

  7. “The baby” being, of course, Rufus; who at the time was “A Tit Man”, according to the historical record.
    As much as I was struck by LWIII and the McGarrigles to the point of buying all their stuff on vinyl (and later on CD), I never could wrap my ears around Rufus’ nasal bleating.
    Thanks for another trip down Memory Lane EB.

  8. Hmm. Just watched the video and learned that “Be Careful…” was pre-Rufus. Well I never! In my dotage I conflated the two songs evidently. My sincere apologies for that, EB.
    The rest still holds, though.

  9. The “Darkhorse” 3rd Battalion 5th Marines fighting it out in Afghanistan have lost 12 marines in 4 days.
    IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE the message spread if more people could pass it on Nothing has been in the media about these guys because no one seems to care.
    I just received the info by e-mail, with the names of the guys.
    Remember when the headlines were covered with stories of soldiers dying over there?
    Oh right…that was when GWB was prez and it was his fault.

  10. Yeah, not a big fan of Rufus either, Mal — his voice, partly, but also his material. A couple of years ago I saw him doing an old folk song called Omie Wise with his mom (or his aunt?), and it was waaay better (IMO) than his other stuff; he did have an apparent talent for it, which isn’t surprising considering the household he grew up in.
    Rufus and his husband had a daughter last year, btw, the progeny, apparently, of Rufus and Leonard Cohen’s daughter.

  14. The GOP can ban MSNBC from Election coverage if they are Shilling for the DNC.. The Media (NBC is a holder of a Public License) have a responsibility to provide honest coverage to the American Public. The GOP could pull Credentials & file Complaint…
    The message would reveberate!

  15. Robert W. – That’s why communists always get a pass for their mass murders, they were always doing it for the right reasons.

    “Pregnant in Auschwitz: Toronto Holocaust survivor recalls split-second decision that saved her and unborn son”
    “Miriam Rosenthal was four-months pregnant, starving, bone-tired, cold, filthy and afraid when an SS officer in big black boots and a crisp uniform appeared before the barracks in Auschwitz with a loudspeaker in hand.
    All pregnant women line up, he barked. Line up, line up — your food portions are being doubled.
    “Can you imagine?” Miriam asks. “Even women who were not pregnant stepped forward. I was standing with my younger cousin, but I wouldn’t go. She says, ‘Miriam, what are you doing?’ ”
    “Something was holding me back. Someone was watching over me. I feel maybe my mother, maybe God. Two hundred women stepped forward and 200 women went to the gas chamber. And I don’t know why I didn’t step forward.”

    “OTTAWA – Canada is now formally reviewing CNOOC Ltd’s US$15.1-billion takeover bid for Canadian oil firm Nexen Inc., Industry Minister Christian Paradis said on Wednesday.
    The Conservative government has an initial 45-day period to examine the bid by the Chinese company under the Investment Canada Act but can extend that by another 30 days.”

  27. maz2 @11:30 – the comments thread after that article quickly devolves into a back-and-forth over Holocaust denial. Awful.

  28. A little more on the NDP’s clerical error of 344K.
    I’ve been thinking about this ‘leak’ to To Star reporter Joanna Smith.
    It is all just TOO good for the NDP.
    If your party was in some serious ethicsl trouble,when would you want the info released?
    I can’t think of a much better time than the last Sunday in August. Parliament is not sitting,the Ottawa press gallery is busy working on their tans ,and the people of Canada are soaking up the last rays of summer.
    No one is asking for opinions from the other parties. Bob Rae,Liz May,Justin, people that only love themselves more than a camera have been silent. Where are the inquiring reporters? Where is Mulcair ?
    This allows the NDP and the media to downplay the situation without much trouble. It also allows the NDP to respond to future inquiries with ” It is old news and has been dealt with,let’s move on”.
    I checked with a friend who has about a dozen years experience in the newspaper business as publisher. She said that the chance that the story by Ms. Smith made it to print without approval from higher up is extremely small. It could happen,but highly unlikely. If it was a rogue story,she’d be packing up her desk by the end of the day.
    Therefore,I conclude that the Star and the NDP are in cahoots on this release and know exactly what they are doing. I can’t figure out why the Canadian Press and the Globe haven’t written a word about this,but the CP is owned by GlobeMedia and Torstar, except to think that this HUGE scandal is being buried quickly and quietly.
    We are being played again by the media and their masters.

  29. Update to my above comment.
    BC Blue had a twitter thing going with the reporter,Joanna Smith,
    She confirms that she received the info from the NDP,on the condition of anonymity.

  31. Wally: Thanks for your comments.
    Rob Snow at CFRA mentioned this saying this was Citoyen NDPMulcair’s Sponsorship scandal. Rob also mentioned the dearth of MSM coverage.
    Black Mamba: I had scanned some of the anti-semitic comments before posting that; however, it’s the usual leftist drivel.

  32. @ Rocky View Redneck at August 29, 2012 3:08 PM
    Poll still 48 to 52%
    I find that a bit strange after so many hours.

  37. From the above story,I didn’t realize how incredibly stupid this statement is until I read it again.
    This is how some view the confiscation of his gun and the charges.
    “You’re surrounded on three sides by houses and kids,” said Darren Furlong. “You don’t shoot guns off in town limits. It’s a definite no-no, right?”
    No,that is exactly why you shoot bears on your porch.

  38. Two months ago a nearby landowner shot a bear IN his patio door.
    Not news around these parts. Except for the Fish and Wildlife officers suggesting he should have “shoooed”the bear away instead.
    Government: brain-dead only need apply.
