No wonder the NYTimes and Newsweek like Mike Huckabee. He’s a liberal in pro-life, pro-gun clothing.

Genetic genealogy

Posted on October 21, 2007 | Comments Off on Genetic genealogy

The only thing that competes with pornography on the Web is genealogy, and the biggest trend in family research is genetics testing. Take a swab of saliva from your inner cheek and send it off with a check for a few hundred dollars, and you can find out where your ancestors likely came from–well before that place you’ve tediously traced them back to and apparently reached a dead end. I’m almost ready to try it, with a little more investigation. I’m not expecting any surprises of this order, but, hey, you never know.

I remain in the minority, it seems, who doubt that Hillarity can win election to the presidency, even if she has a lock on the Dem nomination. That’s not a surprise. After all, they nominated Kerry.

Black on black

The perpetually aggrieved race hustlers have the Justice Department "weighing an investigation" into persistent racism in Jena, LA, despite the criminal records of the Jena 6, a black defense lawyer for the main one (who is a three-time loser), and a black U.S. Attorney for the region. They must be insufficiently black. Sell outs, etc. Not buying-in with the right parties, like Jesse and Al, and Sheila. What a load of hooey, flapdoodle, blatherskite.
