The GOP presidential race should be a heck of a lot clearer tomorrow morning. Super Tuesday has 24 states voting -- including delegate-rich California and New York. Sen. John McCain is the prohibitive favorite, but Gov. Mitt Romney has an outside shot. Gov. Mike Huckabee is nothing more than a stalking horse for McCain. I've […]
The more I read about the new Democrat frontrunner for that party's nomination for president of the United States, the more convinced I become that he's little more than an empty vessel that a lot of people seem to pour their own hopes and dreams into. Barack Obama got some press this week after Washington […]
The Congressional Black Caucus today petitioned Gov. Kathleen Blanco of Louisiana to commute the sentence of an African-American thug because he beat up a white kid. If you've relied on television and mainstream media reports to inform your knowledge of the so-called Jena 6, then you might suspect me of coloring (no pun intended) my […]
Sixty years ago today Jackie Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers and baseball's color barrier was shattered. This was seven years before the landmark Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education was decided. It was 17 years before the groundbreaking Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law. For the […]
Boston Globle columnist Ellen Goodman has a new column out today taking to task "incivil" people. The news hook is the now-twice fired Don Imus, but Goodman also reels in the vicious threats and attacks on tech writer/blogress Kathy Sierra (rightly) for condemnation. Unsurprisingly, Goodman uttered nary a peep when fellow columnist Michelle Malkin started […]
That was the title of a Monty Python skit that appeared on several of their albums. It consisted mainly of suggestive sounds and even the words "Wankel rotary engine." I apologize if I offended anyone by writing that. Well, it turns out that some members of the National Association of Black Journalists are too offended […]
It's apparently taboo now to describe any African-American as "articulate." Though it was little noted, on Wednesday President Bush on the Fox News Channel also described Mr. Obama as “articulate.†On any given day, in any number of settings, it is likely to be one of the first things white people warmly remark about Oprah […]
There's too many black Americans -- predominately Democrats -- who honestly believe that if you don't hew to the liberal/victimhood political line, then you're somehow not a "real" black person. (The "oreo" slur is a perfect example of this.) This belief can have the occasional effect of making liberal blacks sound a lot like white […]
For those of you who don't pay a lot of attention to the celebrity "news," actor Michael Richards -- famous for playing Cosmo Kramer on the "Seinfeld" show -- lost his cool and started throwing the n-word around during an appearance at a comedy club last week. I can't say that I particularly care about […]
Today's "Best of the Web Today" contains this gem from media darling Sen. Barack Obama. Hypocrisy, Anyone? "Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois today urged hundreds of blacks not to vote along racial lines next week in Maryland's Senate race. Obama, the only black U.S. senator, came to the state to rally support for Democratic Rep. […]
