Vilmar, a blog pal who ran Right Wing Howler, is throwing in the towel. We erroneously noted last week that he had been shut down by complaints from CAIR, but that is not exactly the story. We'll miss his reckless and irreverent sense of humor...and his links! God bless, Vilmar - and good luck!
A propos of the Dylanologist's piece last week, The Elusive Benefits of Diversity,, is a piece on race-neutral alternatives to affirmative action, at The Debate Link. (I forget who linked this piece.)
Atlas of the new money, at WSJ. Love the quote from Greenwich, CT's hedgie Mr. Ray Dalio about the new mega-homes - palaces, really - being built: "Yuck. It's like flashing diamonds."
Time Magazine names boring, ignorant, web-surfing, kinky porn-addicted, skirt-chasing, sex-intoxicated, beer-addled, blues-listenin', under-educated, opera-goin', ballet-watchin', gun-totin', gal whistlin', Jesus-lovin', government-hatin', red-neck tractor-drivin' parrothead Yankee libertarian money-likin' capitalist, and an utterly confused and inconsistent - both philosophically and morally - lazy unshaven and un-bathed, pajama-wearing, low-life, tatooed blog editor slacker, and Dylan fan... as Person of the Year. Who'd a thunk it? A lousy choice, Time Magazine. There have got to be better candidates out there. How about Ahmadinejabajaba? More your type?
DA Nifong is in deep doo-doo. It's comforting to know that, in the US, even DAs are supposed to obey the law.
