My Dinner at Applebee's With White Supremacists! Harmon Leon is recruited by a group so hateful he refuses to use its name First off, I highly recommend you not try this at home. I decide to infiltrate a white supremacist hate group by posing as an eager new recruit, a new hater, if you will. I want to put a face on extreme hate, to find out the hobbies of haters, what haters find hot and what haters find not. I want to learn what someone in a hate group really loooooooves. Ice cream? Everyone loves ice cream. I love...

There's an email going around giving HRC's contact information claiming that you should contact her and tell her to give back the money (fundraising) she took from Pakistan during her last campaign. Now I like to bash her majesty as much as the next guy but as far as I know she took money from Palestine, not Pakistan -- the whole Suda Arafat thing, if she took money at all. Now is not the time to dissipate our energy with this kind of nonsense. I encourage you that if you get the email you reply all and tell them it's ...

No text, click link. Someone else can post the pictures. :)

I was interested to see, in a recent copy of The Nation, .... What's that? You want to know what an honest reactionary like Derb is doing, reading a lefty whine-list like The Nation? Well, in the first place, like Walt Whitman, I am large, I contain multitudes: humani nihil a me alienum puto. In the second place, I find a sort of nostalgic fascination in seeing that all the halfwitted beliefs I held when I was 17 are still alive and well, and being retailed by literate adults on the streets of America. (Not merely literate, either. Katrina vanden ...

This is a heady experience. Having published three articles on NRO about campus life, I am receiving e-mail from strangers praising my courage and wondering how a university administrator dare say anything so forthright about the cult of diversity, the disabilities racket, or profs who prey on aimless students. Some of the mail is from academics who sound like they know what a bruising is. One of them wonders what kinds of "nastiness" I might have met with after writing on taboo topics. Well, none. I'd like to be considered brave, but the furies of political correctness have flown on ...

illiam of Occam (or William Ockham) was a Franciscan scholar born in 1285. He was best known for being able to hold 14 boars' snouts in his mouth at one time. Unfortunately, this was in his early fraternity years and nobody ever found out. Later, after he got a publicist, he became well-known for the phrase "Occam's Razor." Now, Occam's Razor, like all of these philosophical catchphrase-concepts, can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be. My Oxford Companion to Philosophy begins its explanation of Occam's philosophical approach by saying that he rejected "atomism in ...

The Grand Old Spending Party What are Republicans good for? Don't look now, but with the budget agreement reached this week, it now appears that federal spending is going to end up growing at about seven percent this year — or about twice the spending rate under Bill Clinton. Good thing we've got Republicans in charge to keep government as small and confined as possible. George W. Bush started the budget process with a reasonable, but slightly overweight budget. He called for four percent growth in spending. (Inflation, correctly measured, is running at about maybe one percent.) The budget deal ...

That’s Our Bush Comedy Central's likable, off-the-wall satire. By Michael Potemra, NR deputy managing editor April 6, 2001 9:40 a.m. What's amazing about the new Comedy Central sitcom parody That's My Bush!, which premiered Wednesday night, is how darn likable the main character is. Just four months after the Florida wars — and widespread concern about a potential crisis of presidential legitimacy — a mainstream-TV entertainment program depicts George W. Bush as basically an adorable human being, and pretty clever to boot. The promos for the show had spoken sarcastically of a "brilliant" Bush: "A brilliant man deserves a brilliant ...

Quick question: Does anyone recall, oh around 1986-87 when Palm Beach had all those issues of blacks and hispanics being pulled over in gated communities, and needing passes to go through the area? I was barely in my teens at the time, so I remember it vaguely, but I haven't seen any mention of it, and it would be a NICE rebuttal to those cries of disenfranchisement, perhaps?
