After getting slapped down a couple of weeks ago by about 1/2 of the bloggers on the Internet for his weak and misleading article on gun crime, the New York Times' Nicholas Kristof, does an encore on Tuesday. One of the biggest complaints from Kristof's earlier article was his comparison/contrast of the number of gun […]
As much as I don't like it, Gray Davis will likely win another four year term this fall, despite anemic job approval numbers.

More evidence of MeChA's anti-Semitic tilt in the latest version of their publication, La Voz de Aztlan: The appointment of Jewish mogul Richard Blum over Dr. Manuela Sosa is just another example of how Jews dominate not only the media, politics and finance but also academia.
