This is the best thing you’ll read all week.
Oh? We’re criticizing Ms. Gellar, a woman who was just the subject of a jihadi assassination attempt and who may well be a marked woman for the rest of her life, on niggling matters of tone and style?
And we need to do this now? We need to trot out the smug and absolutely unexamined, absolutely thoughtless vanities of Upper Middle Class Respectability and attack Ms. Gellar for not doing it in quite the way we would have, even as, in all likelihood, she scrambles to find long-term security to protect her life?
For drawing a cartoon?

This is about class. This is all about class.
This is about, specifically, the careerist, cowardly, go-along-to-get-along mores of the Upper Middle Class, the class of people whose parents were all college educated, and of course are college educated themselves; the class that dominates our thought-transmitting institutions (because non-college educated people are more of less shut out of this industry).
It is a class which is deathly afraid of social stigma, and lives in class-based fear being grouped with the wrong people, and which is more interested in Career, quite frankly, than in the actual tradecraft of that Career, which is clarity of thought and clarity of expression.
This is something I’ve talked about before. Ace spells it out.

Still trying to turn enemies into friends;
On Tuesday in the Legislature, the Saskatchewan Party government introduced the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code Amendment Act 2014. If passed, it will prohibit discrimination based on gender identity.
“There are a lot of trans and queer people in our province who have worked hard to see this happen,” said Craig Friesen, co-ordinator of the Pride Centre at the University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union. “If the proposed changes are passed, this will be a monumental day for all of us.” Rachel Loewen Walker, executive director of Avenue Community Centre, met with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission this past spring to push for the change, among others.

Via Young Cons: Johnson says law enforcement told him that Brown’s juvenile arrest record contains a second-degree murder charge and information linking him to the notorious Crips street gang.

I have no idea what it is like to be stateless; but I get a nasty feeling that this may not be the case for much longer. I am an Englishman but watching the decline of my country from within I have been tempted for many years to denounce any form of allegiance to a nation which has become voluntarily powerless to defend any aspect of itself.

Free Lorrie Steeves!
Gord Steeves has suddenly been propelled into being the frontrunner in Winnipeg’s mayoral race. And it’s not for something he said or did. He can thank his wife for the push.
What? What are you talking about? The MSM says his campaign is finished because of a four-year-old Facebook post by his wife complaining about being harrassed by “drunk native guys.”
Hardly.
Because EVERYBODY KNOWS IT’S TRUE!
[…]
The news media discovered through the various methods of instant feedback (Twitter, Internet comments, Facebook) that there was little sympathy for the drunk native guys in the story.
CBC, for example, had 311 comments on their Steeves story, ten-to-one in his favour, before they closed off comments.

“Cultures are not museum-pieces.”
The narrative of the Aboriginals’ 45,000-year history is given some majesty in popular opinion pieces. Why, I don’t know, unless stagnation is your thing. Wandering about for 45,000 years while advancing as a culture not one iota: no writing, no buildings, no structures, no technological advancements of any note. In short: Nothing, aside from some rock painting, superstition, and subsistence. This is nothing about which today’s Aboriginals need to feel either pride or humility, since today’s individuals have no responsibility for what others did in the past, only what they themselves do today and in the future. But this 45,000-year story of stagnation does not seem to me what constitutes the natural state of man, or any sort of grounds for future success should one attempt to find lessons in it for today.

[June 26, 2014] At midnight tonight, Canadians can breathe a little easier and speak their minds online, thanks to Bill C-304, which officially comes into ‘force’ on June 27, 2014 and repeals Section 13 of the Canadian “Human Rights” Act. Bill C-304 stripped the censorship powers from the ravenous censors at the Canadian “Human Rights” Commission who dragged hundreds of Canadian’s through a rigged Tribunal process – success guaranteed; a complete 100% conviction rate!

Tears, go with the tears, because, saps.
Redford, who became emotional at times, said it was about trying to balance the demands of parenthood with premiership.
“I’m the premier of Alberta, but I’m also the mother to a daughter who I love to spend time with,” she said. “I think many mothers can relate to that, and I don’t always get to do that.”
Feminism fail.
