I'm sure most of you have been checking your old date books to determine whether you've ever had sex with Rick Perry. Of course, you might not remember, since Perry's talents as a paramour likely mirror his narcissistic approach to public policy. That sort of foolishness is brought to you courtesy of Robert Morrow, the Austinite who garnered national coverage last week with his full-page Chronicle ad requesting leads on the new presidential candidate's sex life. For the record, Morrow placed his ad (and alerted other publications) on his own; this news desk read it when our readers did. Morrow's...

Michael King of Ramblings' Journal is pulling the plug on his MuNu blog, which I've linked to often. He recommends you check out the rest of the Conservative Brotherhood, as well as The Dead Pool and Blogcritics. Farewell, Michael and best of luck in your new endeavors.

WASHINGTON, July 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Liberals on the Internet took a quick trip to the gutter with regard to the nomination of Judge John G. Roberts, Jr. to the U.S. Supreme Court. On the left-wing Daily Kos Web site, a participant suggested the behavior of the nominee's four-year-old son, Jack, warrants investigation while another speculated about the toddler's sexuality. "Is nothing sacred anymore? Is no one exempt from insulting partisan attacks?" asked Project 21 member Michael King. "If someone mentions the relatives or personal lives of a liberal, there are wails and caterwauling from the left. But it seems...

I've appeared on a number of radio talk-shows discussing the Project 21 press release from earlier this week. The release condemns an early July political cartoon by Ted Rall, a cartoonist syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate.A letter went out from Project 21, with my signature on it on Monday of this week, asking that they reconsider Rall's standing with them, in light of his cartoon, which depicted National Security Director Condoleezza Rice being referred to as a "house n-----."Also on Monday, letters were sent to the NAACP, the National Association of Black Journalists, and the PUSH/Rainbow Coalition, asking that they...

Live on Fox: Well, at least I held my ownLast night, I appeared on Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes in a "debate" (and I use the term loosely, it was more like an ambush than anything else) with New York City Councilman Charles "I Wanna Slap The Nearest White Person For My Mental Health" Barron.Project 21 put out a press release Monday, which strongly criticized a Jesse Jackson's earlier this month in Boston. In the speech, Jackson accused the US Military of "murder," called for the impeachment of the President, and called for both UN sanctions and military action...

Great job tonight. I felt a sense of pride by knowing you. I've already sent an email to Hannity and Colmes asking for you to make another appearance, when you have a chance to voice your opinion without the other pundit being so rude, and shouting over your answers. You conducted yourself well. Thank you.

Check me out on Fox News Channel tonightWell, it's official now, I guess. At least I hope so; I'm still waiting for the call-back from the producer to lock down what part of the hour I'm supposed to be in.I'm going to be appearing on FNC's Hannity & Colmes tonight at 9P ET. We'll be talking about a new release from Project 21 critical of Jesse Jackson; I'm quoted pretty prominently in the release.Project 21 to Discuss Jesse Jackson's Inflammatory Comments on Iraq on Fox's "Hannity and Colmes" For Release: April 27, 2004 Contact: David Almasi at 202/371-1400 x106 or...

Well, it's Black History Month, and I'll bet you haven't heard one thing about George S. Schuyler (1895-1977). George S. Schuyler was, simply, the greatest black journalist this country has ever produced. (Normally, I eschew qualifiers like "greatest black," as opposed to "greatest," period, but this is journalism we're talking about. I will never, in five lifetimes of sitting in newspaper morgues, looking at microfilms of ancient newsprint, be able to read enough to determine who America's greatest journalist was.) From 1924-1966, he bestrode the black press like a colossus. Working for Robert Lee Vann's (1879-1940) Pittsburgh Courier weekly newspaper,...

Project Homestead backers rail against media GREENSBORO — A group of prominent black leaders and politicians warned Monday that Project Homestead will collapse unless the News & Record ends its “negative publicity” of the nonprofit, low-income housing builder. “It is virtually impossible for Project Homestead to continue to operate in this climate,” said state Rep. Alma Adams, a Greensboro Democrat who led the press conference held by the “Friends of Project Homestead” at Homestead’s former headquarters on Martin Luther King Drive. “The newspaper is intent on destroying this organization,” declared state Rep. Earl Jones, also a Greensboro Democrat. News &...

What’s up with Miramax? Miramax, the Disney stepchild that’s giving monetary life to a proposed Bush-bashing flick by Michael Moore, is releasing “Buffalo Soldiers,” a movie demeaning the American military. Is this Welcome to the Wonderful Brave New World of Disney? Because of the questionable subject matter, the movie’s release had to be postponed five times. Based on news reports about its content, perhaps the powers that be should have left the thing on the shelf. Franklin J. Henderson, a retired army colonel and past president of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Association, told the Kansas City Star, “The film...

Michael v. the NAACP on televisionWell, I guess it's time I went big league.I'm set to be on "Scarborough Country" tonight at 10P ET on MSNBC to talk about the NAACP in general and their vindictiveness when it comes to conservatives in particular. Roland Martin is a syndicated columnist in Dallas who will also be on during that segment (and provide the distinguished opposition to my position).Over the weekend, NAACP Chairman Julian Bond described the GOP as being associated with a "dark underside," whatever that's supposed to mean. I'm sure it ties to the notion of being "evil." Pretty pathetic...
