  2. “Student Mugged, Says He Deserved It Because of His ‘Privilege'”:

    “Who am I to stand from my perch of privilege, surrounded by million-dollar homes and paying for a $60,000 education, to condemn these young men as ‘thugs?’” asks Friedfeld. “It’s precisely this kind of ‘otherization’ that fuels the problem.”

    I’ll bet the perps are laughing all the way to their buddy selling dime-bags on the corner.

  3. Here I sit broken hearted.
    Paid a dime and only f#rted.
    (as seen on the wall of a pay toilet from a long time ago)

  7. It’s comedy gold. ““Not once did I consider our attackers to be ‘bad people.’ I trust that they weren’t trying to hurt me. In fact, if they knew me, I bet they’d think I was okay,” wrote Friedfeld…” (Emphasis mine.)
    I assume that if Oliver’s imaginary black friends had really gotten to know him they’d have beaten him twice as badly. I mean, I want to kick the guy’s a**. Imagine how they’d react.

  8. That’s the unearned guilt talking. The psychological devastation will follow. It’s how political correctness is supposed to work.

  9. Unfortunately they didn’t rape him. Because he was asking for it with that uppity lily white privilege and all.

  10. Limousine liberalism in action, and a portent of things to come from a second Clinton administration (linked at Drudge):

    On the other hand, in a hilarious twist of irony, the article starts with the usual tactic of “education” systems: asking for a discount from everybody else on their goods and services. When do I get a discount on the education taxes I pay?
    What a pity they both can’t lose.

  11. Someone should ask that Democrat if he stands by his party’s, particularly his President’s, “otherization” demagoguery of Republicans.
    Maybe in his answer he could say some genuine heartfelt kind words about George W. Bush to prove his sincerity.

  13. Received my Economist “World in 2015” in the mail yesterday. In the Americas section under the headline ‘Justin Time’ while not completely counting out the Tories they foresee the Dauphin winning next year. Madelaine Drohan of the G&M is the Economist’s Canadian correspondent.

  14. And I thought the second line was “paid a dime and only farted”! live and learn

    “Ill winds blow from wind turbines”
    “The wind industry is dangerous to human health, posing risks to everything from dizziness and nausea to chronic stress and heart conditions
    A Canadian court will soon decide if wind turbines violate Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms by posing a risk to human health. Charter case decisions can be convoluted but the fundamental question of health at issue here is straightforward. Wind turbines, from all that is today known and by any rational measure, represent a risk to those living in their vicinity.”

  20. This guy doesn’t get it. Facts don’t matter. This is a moose limb / eco terrorist alliance bent on destroying our oil industry.

    Earlier, on Facebook, organizers had asked white and non-black supporters to remain in the background and avoid speaking to the media during the vigil.
    “Remember that you are there in support of black folks, so should never be at the centre of anything,” wrote organizer Bilan Arte, deputy chair of the Canadian Federation of Students.

  23. Ontario throws another $10 million into the wind—in just one day
    The wind was howling throughout Ontario November 24, 2014 and the wind turbines were cranking out power that Ontario didn’t need. It cost Ontario’s ratepayers over $10 million dollars for just one day.
    Wind generated 45,527 megawatt hours (MWh) that day and another 7,200 MWh were constrained. At $135/MWh the power generated cost about $6.1 million and the constrained wind production cost another $900,000.
    At the same time, Ontario was steaming off 6 to 7,000 MWh at Bruce Nuclear paying for that, and paying idling gas plants designed to back up wind and solar generation The former represented a cost to ratepayers of about $400,000 and the latter about $3.7 million. The foregoing costs came to about $11.1 million for just that one day.
    While that was happening, Ontario was exporting our excess MWh and that day we supplied Michigan, New York, Quebec, etc. with 65,616 MWh at an average price of $11.18 (not a weighted average) generating revenue of about $700,000. In short, the day cost Ontario’s ratepayers well over $10 million with the other exported 20,000 MWh costs factored in.
