BREAKING NEWS: Kavanaugh fesses up. He did not mean to rape her

Rough Horse Play Carrie Severino, spokesperson of the campaign arm for Republican judicial nominations, now says that  it’s not clear that what Ford describes wasn’t simply “rough horse play” as opposed to attempted rape.   Combined with the strangely muted comments by Don Jon, it seems [...]

Who becomes a cop or a teacher? Sending Richard Sherman to Stanford would not have made him a better cop. .

Maybe the sad economy will help, but I suspect that the effort to send everyone to college will not result in  millennials choosing  to become police officers or teachers.  I also think the idea that a college education makes people more tolerant is elitist.

In Defense of Confederate and Nazi License Plates

Ilya Shapiro is traditional Jewish liberal lawyer, what I now call a lace curtain liberal yid, who puts his own interests and the law in the way of justice.  These talented individuals remind me of a relative of mine, a corporate attorney, who once explained to me that in her job the truth did not[...]

The Ebola Hysteria Demonstrates How Gullible Americans Are

There have been less than a dozen Ebola cases in the U.S., all of them imported from Africa, and except for one guy who was misdiagnosed and sent home, the survival rate is 100% for patients treated by the U.S. health care system. I’m not a doctor, but from what I’ve read, Ebola gets tra[...]
