Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Friday Links

This is sick. London to celebrate Castro. I could see celebrating his death, though.

Chavez is shutting down TV station. Typical Leftist hero.

Where your NEA dues go. RWNation

If you can stomach it. The worst of the Times. Conspiracy

Why Bush is my Hero. Singleton, agreeing with Ed Koch

Who would believe this guy? He's just a general in Iraq. Villainous

From a LaShawn piece:

Isn’t it ironic that blacks, who once struggled for equal treatment before the law, now use their race to rally for special treatment before the law?

AP journalists are dumber than me. YARGB

Regarding the LaShawn piece -- very timely. This morning I just saw a bumper sticker I was going to post about --

"Equal rights do not mean special rights."

The Cuban Revolution to liberal westerners = interesting times for thee and no skin off the nose for me. Lose-win always seems to work for better-offs who grandly approve of political-social experimentation on others ahead of themselves.

The NEA link @ RWN just barely scratches the surface. Forget about the quid-pro-quo with the left--what about the subconscious survival instinct to dumb-down the electorate?
