“Are they merely looking for official membership and/or a specific attack? Apparently there must be acts or plans for acts—sympathies are not enough, even for someone in a security position such as Mateen’s. It sounds rather similar to what happened with Nidal Hassan, the Ft. Hood shooter.”
But, hey, our little Barry Hussein isn’t blaming the FBI. And the Republicans are quiet little mice. That’s enough, right?

“The petition whines that ‘a year spent around a seminar table where the literary contributions of women, people of color, and queer folk are absent actively harms all students, regardless of their identity.'”
This is at Yale U., which costs more than $40,000 a year to attend. For some rich daddies that might be a small price to pay to get rid of the obnoxious child who would write this stupid petition for exemption from Shakespeare, et al. Not that there aren’t plenty of second- and third-rate queer, women and black and Hispanic writers to replace them with. A few good ones. Very few.
But face it folks most English majors are not only whiners, sloppy dressers, seldom bathers and nose-pickers, they are getting a degree that will require talking their way into a job. Any job. I remember. I majored in English.

I have mine. After all, this is Towel Day all over the galaxy. Not to mention the known universe. Not sure about the 11 extra dimensions. Or whether our reptilian overlords (see Infowars) are going to allow it or quash it. We shall see.

As this new book demonstrates, including notice of “the arsenal” the great author of non-violence Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. kept for self-defense.
“In This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed, civil rights scholar Charles E. Cobb, Jr. reveals how nonviolent activists and their allies kept the civil rights movement alive by bearing—and, when necessary, using—firearms. Whether patrolling their neighborhoods, garrisoning their homes, or firing back at attackers, these men and women were crucial to the movement’s success, as were the weapons they carried.”
It’s ironic the first black (well, half-black) president is such a demon for disarming Americans. But the world’s greatest gun salesman didn’t grow up in the mainland U.S., nor experience Southern segregation and the KKK is only a story to him. Would reading this book change his mind? Has anything else in almost eight years? He is a man of conviction. Not to mention stupidity.

Texas as desert
May 27, 2007
Mouth of the Brazos makes a good point in reviewing the famous John Wayne movie “The Searchers.” Good as the story is, the landscape pretending to be Texas is Utah or Arizona, somewhere flat, dry and dusty.
I still run across Yankees who are amazed to discover we have trees and grass and rolling hills. All because of movies like that one. Good as it is. (But, not being a movie lover, I think Alan Lemay’s book was better.)

From JD at Mouth of the Brazos:
“All the climate change (global warming) freaks are basing their doom predictions on are COMPUTER MODELS. If there is one algorithm in their model that’s wrong, or one regulatory factor omitted, the model isn’t worth a fart in a whirlwind. I’ve seen the same thing in doing science at Dow. It’s why predictive behaviors in any system have to be taken with a humongous grain of salt.”
The very idea that science could accurately model the climate is pure bullshit only impressive to suckers.
