As loyal readers will know, earlier this month I was in St. Louis documenting a civil rights initiative. There, I witnessed firsthand that which is ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now).
Intimidating to say the least.
Yesterday, Stanley Kurtz at National Review wrote an excellent article on the organization, and moreover, Obama’s relation to it. [...]

Last week, I completely forgot about my Rando Thursday Whatever. Yikes. So this week’s edition will be extra rando. Yes!
I picked up a Reader for the first time in months. Politically, it swings consistently left but at least I don’t feel dumber after reading it. In today’s straight dope, we are reminded of the uselessness [...]

My knowledge of Newt Gingrich is limited, for the most, to the following interview by Ali G:

Really, I have a faint memory of Newt and, like most people, associate the Contract with America with him but that’s about it. It’s a memory with positive undertones though. Like the Ali G video articulated, there was welfare [...]

Remember the punk/ska movement of the late ’90s? I was in high school and it was a pretty big deal. Definitely the trendiest music-wave I’ve ever lived through and I, yes, I embraced it…with blind, groundless elitism.
