I had a conversation, not too long ago, with a member of the now dwindling Greatest Generation. The conversation ran a gamut of topics: favorite recipes, memories from childhood, what the town of Watsonville used to look like before the massive influx of the dot-commers to Santa Cruz County looking to escape the cramped suburbia of Silicon Valley. But the one thing I was just itching to ask this little ancient was about her ethnicity. You see, she had brown skin. And I was simply curious! Was she a Mexican-American, I wanted to know, or was she perhaps Native American?...

PR has a new friend - Truth Serum Interviews dot com. Tom Schlegel's just set up shop, and he's got a good concept. He's going to be cranking out interviews of (mostly) liberals as if those folks were first administered a bit of truth serum. Here's one of his first. Be sure to visit his site.

If a president that is as much white as he is black can declare himself black, why can't a South African sprinter that is a hermaphrodite declare herself female? It works for me.

On first read of this Chicago Tribune article one might credit the newspaper with digging deep for the context to the story surrounding Chicago's Olympic bid. On the other hand, a cynic, like me, would ask what took the Tribune so long. In this article, the tribune examines the Mayor's long standing assertion that no taxpayer funds would be used to pay for the Olympics. Tax money isn't paying for it. There's no tax money whatsoever," Daley said earlier this year. "We are very strong in that position ... in the regard to having that be sponsored by the private...

DEVELOPING: ACORN will immediately stop any "new intakes" — essentially freezing its operations — following the release of four videos that depict its workers assisting a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute in search of housing for their illegal business, its chief executive officer said. "As a result of the indefensible action of a handful of our employees, I am, in consultation with ACORN's Executive Committee, immediately ordering a halt to any new intakes into ACORN's service programs until completion of an independent review,"

MOMBASA, Kenya — The mother of a top al-Qaida fugitive who was killed in a U.S. raid in Somalia demanded Wednesday to see her son's body while a Somalia-based group claimed him as their leader and confirmed his death. Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, a 30-year-old Kenyan, was wanted for the 2002 car bombing of a beach resort in Kenya and a failed attempt to shoot down an Israeli airliner. Three senior U.S. officials familiar with Monday's commando raid confirmed he was killed. Aisha Abdallah told The Associated Press she wants "to see the body of my son before it is...

Scroll down to The Audacity of Hos video. Bear in mind Jon Stewart is an über-lib.

Dr. Bill Cosby, I am ashamed of you and for you. I have been a fan and admirer, of you from the days when your only exposure was your wonderful comedy albums. I still relish my memories of your stories about theme music and the movie theatre monster statue at the top of the steps. I have always considered you a man of good character, and of an honest and decent heart. And now I feel as if you have betrayed a lifetime of dispelling the evil that sneaks it's way into the hearts of men through racism. You have...

South Africa is considering the introduction of zero tolerance policing ahead of next year's football World Cup, making it easier for officers to "shoot to kill" suspected criminals. The proposal has raised fears of a return to "apartheid-era policing", with officers having the right to shoot fleeing suspects in the back. The change in tone has come with the appointment of a new national police commissioner, Bheki Cele, who has been called a "cowboy" with a penchant for pinstripe suits and panama hats. The plain-speaking Cele has called for a change in legislation that would allow police to open fire...

Scott Rasmussen’s latest tracking endeavor shows that only 12% believe opposition to Health Care Reform or President Obama’s agenda is racist. We here at this agency didn’t need Scott to tell us that; we have long believed that racism only played a tiny part in what has transpired since 21 January 2009. This space will take it a little further and claim that even most of those who outright charge Racism! only half believe it themselves. Why? Society has evolved. Things like racism just become counter-productive after awhile. Especially after a rigorous self-examination where a majority conclude they never really...

The sub-headline over the article says it all: "The investigation into a cop killing in the '70s leads to a law professor who helped launch Barack Obama's political career." The law professor is former Communist terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, a leader of the Weather Underground known for praising mass murderer Charles Manson.

Cleon Skousen was a right-wing crank whom even conservatives despised. Then Beck discovered himOn Saturday, I spent the afternoon with America's new breed of angry conservative. Up to 75,000 protesters had gathered in Washington on Sept. 12, the day after the eighth anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, sporting the now familiar tea-bagger accoutrements of "Don't Tread on Me" T-shirts, Revolutionary War outfits and Obama-the-Joker placards. The male-skewing, nearly all-white throng had come to denounce the president and what they believe is his communist-fascist agenda. Even if the turnout wasn't the 2 million that some conservatives tried, briefly, to...

Supporters of the administration’s plans for cap-and-trade have argued that the costs would be minimal for American households, as low as $175 per household per year, as the White House proclaimed an incomplete analysis from the CBO. A new study shows that the actual costs per household are ten times that number, almost $150 per month, once cap-and-trade gets implemented. What right-wing organization created that analysis? The Treasury Department: The Obama administration has privately concluded that a cap and trade law would cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion a year, the equivalent of hiking personal income taxes by about...
