Craigslist St. Louis: LOST AT GYPSY CARAVAN $$$$ (UMSL Campus)
I’m shocked. Just…shocked.
(1) LAT/USC did a poll of CA voters. And even though they (deliberately?) misrepresented Arizona’s SB 1070, implying that a cop can accost someone just on suspicion of being here illegally (in reality, there has to be another credible and lawful reason for the cop to stop the person, and then and only then, if the cop thinks that the person is here illegally while explicitly not using racial or ethnic appearance as grounds for suspicion of that, then SB 1070 can kick in), California voters support it anyway. The margin of strong support over strong oppose was 7%, and the margin of all support over all oppose was 8%.
(2) DOJ wants SCOTUS to knock back AZ immigration laws that Janet Napolitano signed as Governor.
(1) Didn’t I say something a few days about about Facebook becoming censorship-mad? If we the tolerant ones got as much as 1% as outraged as the screwball Islamic fanatics did over this F/B page, F/B wouldn’t have censored it.
(2) How much you wanna bet that the “non-traditional” media caught MI Sen. Bruce Patterson with his hand in somebody’s cookie jar?
(3) No comment from Tom Friedman.
(4) How much you wanna bet the perps didn’t even take the GCSEs?
(5) I’ve heard the Pit Bull called the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier. Evidently, the Brits call it the American Bulldog.
(6) Fast forward to 1:25 in this video. Crack.
(7) Illiberalism is Truly a Dangerous Mental Disorder – The Nazis of 1944 had her slated for execution. Now, she is trying to give aid and comfort to the Nazis of 2010.
Charles Schumer wants to crack down on American companies outsourcing call centers to Asia.
Or does he?
His great solution is to charge a quarter per call fee for customer service or technical support calls that are initiated in the U.S. but are routed out.
That’s like clearing out your flooded basement with a teaspoon.
The reason these call centers are outsourced is because the labor is far cheaper. I don’t know what the fee would have to be in order to bring the effective labor cost of outsourcing call centers up to parity with keeping them in the U.S., but it would have to be way more than a quarter per call. More fundamental than that, I wouldn’t hassle around with fees if I were Schumer, just mandate that corporate call centers for American companies sit inside the United States, and on top of that, disallow the use of immigrant visas for those positions, so that the call centers actually employ high wage high benefit and potentially unionized native born white Americans.
Outsourcing like this has been going on for quite a few years, yet only now is someone getting around to doing something about it. So what gives? Answer: I think it’s a Democrat attempt to keep white working class voters in swing states that were crucial to Obama’s victory two years ago from swinging their votes too much. Just like Schlafly thinks they’ll use the Mexican trucks issue, while nobody will pick up on their hypocrisy of doing nothing about the treaty which forces us to take in Mexican trucks (NAFTA) nor their hypocrisy of wanting us to accept unlimited immigration of Mexican people. Schumer himself is up for re-election this year.
Maher: Real black men lift their shirts up to show their concealed gun, then proceed to ask, “we’ve got a motherfucking problem here?” before shooting someone in the foot.
He’s so far ahead of me in anti-black bigotry that I could catch up to him in the race, but then I’d have to make up another lap.
Fedora 13 (“Goddard”) has hit the streets.
Unfortunately for me, preupgrade FAIL. On top of that, I couldn’t even do an in-place upgrade from F12 to F13 with the physical media, thanks to the same strange error message I got with preupgrade that neither the internets nor the experts at Fedora’s IRC channel could help me with. In case you’re wondering, the error message stated that I needed to check (fsck) my Linux partition while booted into the Linux system (in this case, the existing F12) that is on that partition — Anyone who knows anything about fsck knows that that’s the classic Catch 22. Running fsck on that partition from my Ubuntu Live CD wouldn’t suffice. So I had to start anew.
F13′s improvements over F12 are mainly in the fit, finish and polish department. GOOG now has a repository for Chrome the browser, so that makes things a little easier. Things actually got a little screwed up in F12 after GOOG officially released Chrome for Linux, because uninstalling Chromium and installing official Chrome borked Flash and Java a bit, so I couldn’t use either plug-in in Chrome. But the Chrome I got from the official repository does automagically recognize both the 64-bit Flash in the Mozilla plug-in folder, and also Fedora’s open source (“OpenJDK”) implementation of Java, which is not only 64-bit right out of the box, but seems to work just as well as the official Java. So I’m not going to mess around with getting the official Java, the convoluted process I described in my post of six months ago after the release of F12.
The long and short of it is that, as before, I have 64-bit Firefox, Opera and Chrome using 64-bit Java and Flash under 64-bit Linux.
Ironically, the first news story I read on the web under F13 was about Arizona’s Attorney General :)
(1) Confirmed: LeBron is leaving Northeast Ohio.
(2) Germans?????
(3) UMass-Lowell gave honorary degrees yesterday to, among others, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and noted plagiarist Doris Kearns Goodwin, and her husband Richard. The first person to spot the irony of that gets a gold star.
(4) Yet another oil company is pulling out of St. Louis. I’m just old enough to remember when St. Louis also had Sunoco, Texaco, Vickers, Clark and a lot of others. Hell, it wasn’t until a roadtrip back east in 1999, where I saw modern functioning Sunocos, that I realized that Sunoco was still in business; they pulled out of St. Louis a long time ago.
(5) Not as bad as Richard Blumenthal, but Mark Jerk slightly misidentified the military award he received while he was in the Naval Reserve.
(6) I agree with Dolan — While having two-officer cars doesn’t guarantee the safety of either, I do think that the increasing reliance of single-officer patrols in the SLPD makes it riskier for those that patrol alone. It’s easier for the typical North St. Louis worthy to try to mow down a cop when he or she is all alone, because it gives him more time to flee the scene and hide, especially if the perp is himself all alone.
(7) A growing number of larger American firms have in their employee codes of conduct that one should not ask about the salary or compensation of one’s co-workers. Research now shows why such rules are a good idea.
(8) Rush referenced this two-year old story late last week. I tell you, Bill Clinton seems to be obsessed with people engaging in sucking motions on his anatomy that lies somewhere between his waist and thighs.
(9) Idiomatic infiltration is a two-way ocean: I find myself using the stereotypically Brit words “shagged” (mainly because of Austin Powers) and “row” (rhymes with “cow,” meaning controversy or quarrel) more and more.
(10) Sam Francis called it “abjuring the realm.”
(11) Kamala Harris, who hearts illegal alien predatory thugs, hates parents whose children skip school too often for her tastes.
If ending truancy is such a whiz-bang cure-all to violent crime, then we shouldn’t just stop and threating to send parents of habitual truants to jail — We should use every resource of every government on every level, from the newest rural county Sheriff’s Deputy all the way up to U.S. Marine Generals, and have them forcably transport children from their domiciles into school buildings, and make sure they stay there. Crime will end in twenty years — Don’t you feel it, too?
(12) Evidently, Rand Paul used the dreaded and politically incorrect D-word in telling the Russian media he wants to end birthright citizenship in the United States, i.e. engage in a proper reading of the construction of the 14th Amendment. Unfortunately, he uses it not in terms of race, but in terms of political party preference. But that’s okay — The average white person won’t pick up on that — They’ll only understand that Rand Paul (accidentally, as it is) wants to stop the de-whitening of America.

I’m not calling it a holiday weekend, because it’s not a holiday. It’s a solemn day for rememberance. I have to work Monday anyway, but will spend the early morning putting a small flag on my affinite Uncle’s grave at Jefferson Barracks. Korea, sustained an injury but survived, however he died from the injury in 1987, so the Pentagon considers him a Korea casualty.
(1) You know the old phrase you like the sausage but you don’t like the slaughterhouse? Well, in this case, I don’t like either the sausage or the slaughterhouse.
(2) A regular reader of Jonah Goldberg over at NR has an interesting theory, that one of the silent reasons Reagan shoved the 21 drinking age down the states’ throats was because of the bottom basement oil prices starting in the 1985-7 time frame making gas affordable to otherwise penniless teenagers and young adults. If that’s the case, then it’s yet another example of why I’m not into Dutcholyatry — IMHO, Reagan swung a secret deal with the Saudis to keep oil cheap to undercut the Soviets. A promissory note the Saudis called in on 9/11, if you ask me.
(3) Speaking of oil…
(4) Right-wing Israelis are jerking Rahm’s chaim (pun intended) about his being part of a U.S. Presidential administration that is none too friendly toward their country. They should be mad, but not at Rahm — he’s the odd man out on the whole issue of the new housing subdivision in Jerusalem; he’s for it, while the rest of the W/H is against it. This is one reason why I think Rahm is going to be forced to take the fall for Sestakgate.

(8) Mayor Slay says that rec centers prevent violent crime. Yet, the city is way behind in its effort to build the new ultra modern rec center in North City, while, as you know, the one in South City, which was nothing more than a new YMCA, is already open. Slay told the media himself yesterday, in the wake of the shooting of Officer Haman, that the rec center is needed to prevent these sorts of (“senseless”) crimes in the future. So using his own logic, if the city had its act together, the rec center in O’Fallon Park would have been open by now. Therefore, this assault against Officer Haman would have never happened. Therefore, those responsible for the stonewalling preventing the O’Fallon Park Rec Center from being open now are accessories to the assault against Officer Haman.
The P-D notes that the reason Carondelet opened so soon is because, along with YMCA help, it also had Gephardt help. Which is very understandable; the Congressman that represents the part of the city where the other rec center should have been by now is, like his father before him, a notorious lazy ass.
(9) On the same tragic topic, a relatively young Chicago cop, Thomas Wortham IV, was killed last week when some Chicago worthies tried to liberate him from his brand new motorcyle. The funeral was today — But here’s the saddest part: Look at the name of the church where the funeral took place.
Also, it appears that Officer Wortham, like St. Louis’s Norvelle Brown, may have been done in by his own youthful arrogance.
(10) Here we go again: The lamestream conservative party in The Netherlands is co-opting Vlaams Belang and Geert Wilders.
(1) The lights are way up in Massachusetts: Both the Republican and Independent challenging Deval Patrick’s right to another term as Governor want the state to adopt SB 1070-like laws. And at least the State Senate seems ready to pass such laws, even as it’s overwhelmingly Democrat, and the few Republicans are liberal/moderate types, like that one that just got himself a new job earlier this year.
(2) Rand Paul: End birthright citizenship. Which would put the United States in league with most countries in the world, including the two with which the forty-eight coterminous states have a border. In Canada’s case, it used to have B/C, but a Canadian politician of Chinese ancestry drug the country’s liberals and liberal conservatives kicking and screaming into ending it. Funny, all these libs stand up and cheer when SCOTUS partially bases its decision to prohibit the death penalty or (most recently) life w/o parole sentences for non-murder offenses for juveniles based on “world consensus,” but world consensus doesn’t matter to them now.
All that is needed to end B/C here is a proper reading of the construction of the 14th Amendment. The purpose for the clause that seems to call for B/C was to grant citizenship to those who were no longer slaves due to the previous amendment, those being almost entirely black slaves in the states that had allowed slavery until that time.
(3) Those precious 1,200 guardsmen to “guard” the border that the Good King Ropeychainer is bragging about? Only there to stop the flow of guns. Not people/future Democrat voters.
(4) He’s right. It’ll be more like a girlcott.
(5) Speaking of hypocrite politicians…
So what if he gets into your back yard? Let him stay there, because it would be inhumane to evict him. If Todd goes out there with a gun, then that’s militarizing your own back yard, and therefore dangerous. Instead, let him stay, and give him your job as a Fox News contributor; after all, he’s only there to do the jobs that the native Palins won’t do. What of the “discrimination” that comes from building a fence only between your house and his? Why do all your other neighbors get off scot-free?
(6) This shouldn’t be hard. They’d probably be the only skinny wirey black men trying to sneak across the Mexican border.
Obama’s Counter-Terrorism Czar John Brennan: No such things as terrorism, jihad, Islam as an enemy.
Good. Now we can bring all the troops home from Crapistan, because they have no reason to be there. We can also dismantle the TSA and kiss all their anal-retentive security measures to get on an airplane fare-thee-well, and lay off all the incompetent affirmative action black women that work for it, because there are no enemy Islamic jihadists that want to terrorize us using airplanes. No need for the bill in Congress to force ID checks on those who want pre-paid cell phones (BTW, yet ANOTHER delay from Verizon for my Droid Incredible), out of the fear of the terrorism of which there is none. No need for a Department of Homeland Security, if no terrorists mean us harm, so Janet Incompitano can find herself a new line of work.
And the best news of all? No terrorism? No need for a White House adviser on terrorism.
DADT is really a weird issue for me. On the one hand, I think it should be repealed, but on the other hand, I oppose virtually every reason that DADT opponents give as reasons why it should be repealed, and to top it off, I’m worried that the military will be unable to do its proper job because it’s going to be bogged down in yet another tar lake full of civil rights complaints/lawsuits/compliance orders, not to mention a lot of openly homosexual soldiers claiming homophobia every time they would have to be disciplined for one thing or another.

Here’s why you need this assignment. And no, this wasn’t a senseless act. While it was reprehensible, repugnant, abhorrent, criminal, immoral, illicit and anti-social, there was a reason why these North St. Louis denizens allegedly did what they did. It is because Officer Haman was cramping their style, and either one or more of the passengers had a warrant out for their arrest, or was doing something which would have been a parole/probation violation, or they had drugs or guns in the car. (Obviously, there was a gun in the car).
There, you see? I just made sense of it.
I’ve seen the SPLC HQ in Montgomery, Alabama with my own eyes before. And I’ve been thinking about the iCabal a lot lately (FYI — Still waiting on my Droid Incredible.) So I shouldn’t be surprised that these two streams of consciousness merged together to wreak havoc on my subconscious overnight.
I dreamed I was standing in front of the SPLC’s main building, on the side of the street that it’s on, not across the street on the side of their former building. I was looking up at the building, and along the side glass windows, I saw “Made with a Mac” and the iCabal’s bitten apple logo painted on some of the windows. I thought to myself in the dream, “That figures.” Then the alarm clock screamed.
If the SPLC really falls on hard times, it does seem that its building would make a rather appropriate Apple Store. I get the feeling a good lefty like Steve Jobs would overpay for the property. That would set Dees, Potok and Beirich up for the rest of their lives; they could retire from their life’s hard work of unearthing right wing conspiracies under every rock.
FTR, when I really was there in June 2005, I gave myself a little walking tour of the surrounding square block. In the same square block as the SPLC sits the headquarters of the Alabama chapter of the National Education Association. You couldn’t get two more alike peas in the same pod. Finding that out required me to pass by the main entrance and exit to the SPLC’s underground parking garage. Because I didn’t want to risk the scrutiny of the Poverty Palace’s security militia, I didn’t slow down to take a gaze inside at some of the parked cars. But I didn’t need to stop, I already knew — To see what SPLC employees drive, stand around on Delmar in the U-City Loop for five minutes. It’s either a non-SUV Volvo, any Subaru or the Prius Hybrid. The Official Pace Cars of SWPL.
Trying out Formspring. Evidently, not only can you ask me anything you want, but I only need to answer the questions I want to answer, while ignoring the idle rants of the leftist drive-by illiterati.
Now you know how AG/Kook Eric Holder could gather a bunch of men and women with badges to gripe about Arizona’s SB 1070.
I notice that Dan Isom wasn’t part of this milieu. I think I can explain why. About six years ago, I wrote this paragraph for a document that was being assembled on behalf of an organization. This was not accepted into the final version, but key people nevertheless agreed with it:
We also support the concept of state control and supervision of certain large city police departments by the state government which the cities are in. A model of this control mechanism is the state government of Missouri’s over the St. Louis City Police Department. The purpose of the control is to allow the occasional conservative governor of that state the authority to appoint most of that department’s directors or commissioners in order to prevent that city’s police board from enacting inane anti-police policies like bans on “racial profiling,” prohibiting police chases, “sensitivity” or “diversity training,” establishing a “civilian review board,” and affirmative action in hiring and promotion, which they would do if they were fully locally controlled by a cabal of white-hating, police-hating black “ministers” and welfare-dependent “community activists,” who would not only constitute that city’s board of police commissioners, but would also be on the “civilian review board” they created.
Just in case you’re wondering, Missouri state (esp. Gubernatorial) control over 4 of 5 BOPC members in STL and KC is an accident of history, from the WBTS days — This control mechanism was set up so that the pro-Confederate elected government Missouri had at the outset of the war could collar the pro-Union PDs in St. Louis and Kansas City, especially St. Louis. Though Union forces overthrew the elected MO state government within two years after the shooting started, the police control policy was allowed to stand, perhaps because they just plain forgot to undo it. And it stands to this day, and, as it turns out, it disparately benefits the cause of good law enforcement in Missouri’s two largest urban cores.
The Chiefs of both the Phoenix and Tucson PDs was part of this Holder press conference. Do you think they would be bloviating against SB 1070 if Jan Brewer appointed most of the members of the Board of Police Commissioners, those Chiefs’ bosses, in both Phoenix and Tucson? You know Mayor Slay is an open borders and amnesty kook, and you know damned well if the SLPD were under local control, the St. Louis Chief would be a Slay drone, and would have been right up there with AG Holder.
UPDATE 6:30 PM: The milieu did try to justify their opposition to SB 1070, rehashing the long debunked notion that enforcing immigration law scares away innocent bystanders who happen to be illegal aliens from testifying against the real thug gangster types in their neighborhood. While it is true that many such individuals are scared, they’re not scared because of deportation fears, they’re scared because of gang retribution. Also, the more fundamental point applies here — The easiest crime to solve is the crime that never happens in the first place. Pick immigration enforcement so that your respective cities don’t become colonies of Mexico and Latin America in general — That way, you won’t have so many drug gangs and so many brutal crimes to solve, a certain long-standing domestic minority of ours notwithstanding.
…on the situation in Jamaicamahn.
First off, a lot of people are making too much of the gun issue. While I think it would be better for Jamaicamahn not to have all the gun control laws that it has, that’s not the reason why it’s in the fix that it’s in. The reason is that it’s almost all black. Besides, those laws are rarely enforced, so guns and ammo might as well be legal.
Now for my main point. Any person with at least a room temperature IQ who studies Jamaicamahn understands that the operations of a legitimate political party and an allied drug gang are so intertwined that it’s impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins. So this begs the question — Why is apprehending the drug lord in question so important to the American government that it would stick its fist in a hive full of wasps? If you don’t want drugs coming out of Jamaicamahn, it’s easy — It’s an island. Just use the Navy to blockade the island. But if you start fucking around internally, you’re going to cause nothing but trouble. Last I checked, 60 people have died in the fight between the politicalpartydruggang currently in power trying to pursue the chief gangster responsible for the drug operations of the rival politicalpartydruggang. Probably more are dead by now 73 as of late in the afternoon on May 27. And should the miscreant in question be apprehended? It’s going to open up a big power vacuum in the politicalpartydruggang, which won’t be resolved without a lot of shooting, violence and dead bodies.
This is the same as my opinion about the Cabrini Green housing projects in Chicago — some hives are left best undisturbed.
How I think the WH will weasel out of Sestakgate:
Pin it on Rahm. Pronounce to the world that Rahm offered Sestak a big time job w/o the President knowing. Fire him. Obama will lean on his hand-picked U.S. Attorneys not to charge Rahm with the requisite Federal crimes. Just before he leaves the WH, if he loses in 2012, or just after he’s inaugurated again, if he wins in 2012, he’ll pardon Rahm. And, far more covertly than the quid pro quo was made to Sestak, WH/Axelrod will lean on Mike Quigley to give IL-5 back to Rahm.

5: St. Louis police seek help identifying robbery suspect
This time, it’s not just another man with clothes.
(1) The biggest scandal when it comes to Facebook? Not privacy, but political censorship. They’re deleting conservative pages like censorship is going out of style.
(2) Perhaps it was a bad time for Tom Tancredo to punt. He and all the other big names in Colorado yielded to former Congressman Scott McInnis for Governor, except one: Some tea party activist who is a native of a blue collar family from Chicago named Dan Maes, who made a small fortune starting and then selling various businesses. And Maes beat McInnis at the CO State GOP convention yesterday, although this only determines GOP primary ballot access and placement, not the actual nominee. The public primary in CO is in August.
(3) Clever — They had the getaway devices right there with them. And fast getaway devices at that.
(4) Why am I locking ass over this story? Because it implies that every lynching in the United States was Klan-on-black, and in the South, with racial retribution as a motive. Truth is, there were almost equal numbers in the South and West, almost equal numbers of blacks and whites lynched, and many lynchings were nothing more than punishment for violent crime in a jurisdiction without an established justice system.
The school in question is 90% white, 6% black and 4% other.
(5) We can increase the count of 9/11 victims by another 120. That is how many more miscarriages of male fetuses there were than there otherwise would have been in the weeks after 9/11, thanks to the increased level of stress everyone, including expectant mothers, felt. That’s the blood of another 120 people on the hands of the freedom fighters Obama hearts so much.
(6) These may be small potatoes in the great spud farm of life, but the big picture is perfectly clear: Mychal Bell is doing life on the installment plan.
(7) JJ2 may endorse Mark Jerk over AlexiG. All the more reason I’m voting None of the Above for Senate. Run away as quickly as you can from any GOPer that JJ2 doesn’t get rabid about.
(8) In a world where Huck Finn is considered too racially insensitive to bear, does anyone really think that the upcoming release of Mark Twain’s autobio will be any less controversial now than it would have been a century ago?
(9) Steve Sailer makes a good point today; unfortunately, I can’t link to his article because he blockquotes MSM articles that have the names of some Federal judges. So I’ll give you the highlights: The brouhaha over Rand Paul and the overt racial discrimination that CRA ’64 wanted to cure is largely a red herring, or an anachronism. We shouldn’t be arguing about 1960s paradigms in a 2010s world, we should be arguing about 2010s issues in a 2010s world. And when it comes to civil rights, it has nothing to do with separate water fountains, it has to do with the “disparate impact” madness. What that means is that fair exams for, e.g. firefighter promotion where blacks and Hispanics flunk more often are deemed to be unfair simply because blacks and Hispanics flunk them more. IOW, racial equality is assumed, and any test disparities are blamed on the test. Of course, they haven’t been able to come up with a “fair” test yet. Sailer thinks that if Rand Paul aims at the 2010s civil rights issues instead of the 1960s ones, he would be a lot better off.
(10) I’ll be damned. It looks like she just might do it. I want her to win, because it’ll be pissing in David Cameron’s racial pandering Cheerios as much as anything else. That and Labour will be guaranteed not to win the next election.
The bad news? No jobs, because the recession is forcing adults to take the jobs that used to be the province of teenagers on summer break, and mass Hispanic immigration means that a big pool of cheap labor is available to undercut both native born white Americans of all ages for those jobs.
The good news? The drinking and smoking they’ll do in earnest of their not having a summer job will be virtually legal, as Missouri is cutting way back on Alcohol/Tobacco enforcement.

(1) Can’t afford mosquito nets or blessedly cheap school tuition. But can afford cell phones and alcohol. Yep, good ole Africa.
(2) A word to the wise — Don’t even think about it. You’ll find out how quickly the Yankee government can lock up 100 million people. When they want to enforce a law, and scare everyone else into behaving, they damned well do it.
(3) That’s mother nature’s Don King in the background. And I mean that in more ways than one.
(4) I guess the dismantling of Apartheid didn’t make South Africa’s health care system any better.
(5) Let’s do the rundown: Insanely liberal and full of minorities, Hispanic, Hispanic, insanely liberal and full of blacks and Hispanics, and Hispanic. See, that wasn’t hard.
(6) I don’t know whether to laugh or cry: There’s an organization which is pwning iMaxiPads. Unfortunately, that organization is the Skankees.
(7) A large high school in the county where I now live is ending the building trades vo-tech program. It probably has to do with budget cuts, but I suspect that it quietly has a lot more to do with race — I think Collinsville is cutting it for much the same reason that Berkeley, California’s public high school outright admitted that did away with science labs — to fund programs to help black and Hispanic dummies.
Other theories running through my head include industry insularity, i.e. professional educators want to convince you to pursue more education after you’re done with theirs, not going into a job directly. (Duh, what other advice would they give?) Maybe the graduates of this program are undercutting a similar program at a post-secondary trade school nearby, and the trade school is leaning on the district to cut out the competition. I know that the Collinsville area is experiencing a big Hispanic growth rate, because of the surrounding farms. And, in Hispanic-heavy states, Hispanics, especially cheap non-unionized illegals, comprise most of the labor on residential construction. Maybe that plays into this decision in some way I’m not seeing.
(8) Also in the education stack today, what happens when black and Hispanic students can’t seem to get very high in the GPA-based class rankings of most high schools? Eliminate GPA-based class rankings. That’s right, I don’t believe all the bullshit in this article that’s given as a justification, because when it comes to picking and choosing between deserving students for the sake of college entrance, colleges and university admissions officers do their homework. They know that a C in Latin is worth more than an A in Spanish.
(9) Prediction: This time next year, Rand Paul will be a sitting U.S. Senator, while Michael Steele won’t be RNC Chairman.
(10) Joe Sestak just proved me all wrong about the Obama administration: It IS creating jobs.
(11) If you’re a British school teacher, Prince Charles is the last person to whom you should be airing your gripes about education.
Shimon Peres offered PW Botha nukes for ZA while they were their countries’ respective defense ministers on a date that is exactly two years before I came into this world.
It does not surprise me that Israel and South Africa saw eye-to-eye on a lot of things. I have commented in this space a number of times before that Arabs-Muslims:Israel::Blacks:South Africa::Hispanics:American Southwest. All three are situations where the land was basically empty when the non-white principality owned or had a theoretical claim on it, white people (or whitish people, depending on your view of the matter) move in with almost zero resistance from the existing principality, take it over, and make something of the land, and the jealous non-whites all of a sudden discover that they once “owned” the territory in question, and want it back. All the while not realizing that they really didn’t want it when they had it, and if/when they ever get it back, it will revert to that which it was before white people showed up.
Not only that, the same left-wing in America and Europe which demanded the end of Apartheid in ZA now consider Israeli policies toward Arabs and Palestinians to be just as “bad,” even using the term apartheid in some instances to describe it.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think any Israeli administration from either the left or right of its body politic ever joined the international economic boycott of South Africa. I know West Germany didn’t.
At first, I thought it was a practical joke, but the DM confirms: NickG quitting as party leader sometime in ’13, before the next (scheduled) UK Parliamentary elections.
This could go really well, or it could go really badly. I’m hoping whoever becomes their new leader is, like Griffin, measured and slick with his or her rhetoric, but is also liked enough by enough people in the party so that it keeps a lid on intranicene food fights. What I fear is that either they’ll wind up with another NickG, someone who is marketable enough, but has too many internal enemies, or that they’ll get Tyndall 2.0, someone who lets his mouth run ahead of his brain.
On Friday, we found out that a three-year old girl with a Hispanic name tragically died when the car she was a passenger in, driven by a woman with a Hispanic name, but not the same surname as the victim, flipped and landed in a swollen Lincoln County creek.
Today, the AP has a feature about Mexican gangs’ increasing involvement in back tar heroin, both in smuggling it from its points of manufacture in South America, to largely rural and suburban white Americans. The dateline of the AP story is Winfield, Missouri, in Lincoln County.
Did Lincoln County become Mexico’s newest colony while I wasn’t looking? It’s been awhile since I was there.
(1) Soccer gives people hope? Remember when Obama gave people hope?
(2) Belinda Carlisle to boycott AZ. I suppose heaven really is a place on Earth.
(3) Don’t get too excited: It’s yet another simple document that the White House won’t read.
(4) No license and no insurance. I suppose this means that the City cop he struck with the car he wasn’t supposed to be driving without the insurance he was supposed to have wasn’t really struck.
Sometimes, you just can’t trust people to enforce the law on themselves.
(5) Al Qaeda. Tee hee.

D.C. to begin using more-expensive Trojan condoms in HIV prevention program
High school students and college-age adults have been complaining to District officials that the free condoms the city has been offering are not of good enough quality and are too small and that getting them from school nurses is “just like asking grandma or auntie.”
So D.C. officials have decided to stock up on Trojan condoms, including the company’s super-size Magnum variety, and they have begun to authorize teachers or counselors, preferably male, to distribute condoms to students if the teachers complete a 30-minute online training course called “WrapMC” — for Master of Condoms.
Now that Beavis and Butthead have stopped laughing, it’s time for more salient points:
“We thought making condoms available was a good thing, but we never asked the kids what they wanted,” said D.C. Council member David A. Catania (I-At Large), chairman of the health committee.
(snip)
Scientists and D.C. health officials said the appeal of Trojan condoms can be attributed to the company’s marketing strategy, including the packaging of Magnums in a shiny, gold wrapper.
“The gold package certainly has a little bit of the bling quality,” said Michael Kharfen, a spokesman for the city’s HIV/AIDS administration.
I suppose beggars can be choosers.
I can rationalize (but not justify) distributing free condoms to teenagers in high school. But don’t you think that by the time they’re in college, they can start buying their own condoms? It says above that it was too embarrassing for teenage boys and young adult men to get free condoms from the school nurse, because it was too much “like asking grandma or auntie.” That’s probably because so many people work for the D.C. Public School system, especially black women, that it IS asking grandma and auntie, for some of them. But all kidding aside, what would be more embarrassing to me, with my fully developed frontal lobe and all, is being on the condom dole, asking for a handout when it comes to that. You want free protection for an act that has consequences that could be lifelong and very expensive? Hell, if you don’t have $6.38, you shouldn’t be having sex, even if you are a teenager.
“Gee, blogmeister, thanks for sharing.”
But that leads to this:
The number of free condoms that the District dispenses has been steadily increasing. The health department distributed 3.2 million last year, including about 15,000 in schools. The city, which has 600,000 residents, is on pace to hand out more than 4 million condoms this year, having distributed about 2.5 million so far. The program cost about $165,000 last year. The Durex condoms cost the city 5.7 cents each, but the Trojans will cost 6 cents to 9 cents each (depending on size).
Does D.C. get a volume discount? $6.38 divided by 24 is about 26.5 cents per, and yet DC is getting that same brand for 6 to 9 cents per, depending on the size. And, in another “thanks for sharing” moment, that means D.C. must pay 7.5 cents for that which I pay 26.5 cents.
I’m not reading any more of this. This is just pissing me off.

Another weird thing about this ad is its anachronism. The ad was made in 1992, and it shows a 10-year old boy seeing himself getting older and older because he drinks milk and lifts. But it still shows him in those same short blue shorts at every stage, ending as an 18-year old in what would have been 2000. In reality, guys’ shorts got longer as the 1990s went on. This ad was made at the beginning of that trend; basketball players started to eschew the nut huggers just a few years before. But it was the University of Michigan “Fab Five” basketball players, whose freshman season was just about at the time when this ad was made, that really got the trend of long shorts going. Now, basketball players’ shorts are so long in some cases that they might as well be pants.
And I don’t know if I’d really be looking forward to having that kind of girlfriend. She seems almost trashy and skanky, and a bit too easy. If I had that kind of body, women would be chomping at the bit to get at me, so I’d take my time and be just a little picky.
(1) If Greece adopted New York City’s pension rules, they would call it hard-hearted austerity.
(2) Mexican drug gangs are turning to piracy, of the eye patch and wooden leg variety.
Remember, Rick Perry has already annouced that there will be no SB 1070 for Tejas.
(3) Cut him some slack. Don’t you know he was just striving for a better life? Punishing him using imposter laws, or even having imposter laws, not only might lead to profiling of civilians, it is a misguided way to solve a problem that is best remedied by comprehensive military service personnel reform. Or, in the case of Vincent Richardson, comprehensive police officer reform.

(9) Mark Steyn notices that the Good King Hopeychanger, in his signing ceremony of the Daniel Pearl Press Freedom Act, opened mouth and promptly inserted foot by dismissing the execution of Pearl as a “loss.” Steyn is right, but he’s only half right — The non-barking dog that jumped out at me is that President Obama couldn’t bring himself to assign culpability to any person or group of people. Methinks it’s because those responsible have names that sound too much like the President’s.
(10) Honestly, I’ve gotta tell you — Normandy isn’t much better. The only reason it’s slightly better off than the about-to-close Wellston district is that UMSL’s presence in Normandy fills up that district’s war chest with way more money. But Normandy’s student body is, like Wellston’s, almost entirely black.
(11) Metal detectors and cameras everywhere, yet a Soldan student was still able to bring a gun to school.
Notice the fourth paragraph. She is upset that the gun was taken away from the student, not that he bought a gun to school in the first place. It was either a bad choice of words on her part, or she wanted him to have the gun for some reason.
(12) Sure, Alderman French. Putting two extra SLPD sergeants up in O’Fallon Park will make everything better. It’s not that I don’t agree with your proposal…anything which draws down this Mayor’s war chest is fine by me.
