Monday’s Stuff

30 08 2010

*  NexMedia takes up Paris Hilton:

Did you catch what I caught?  Paris Hilton left the Wynn hotel in Vegas with her b/f, they got into the Escalade, one of the two or both were smoking weed, and the Vegas cop smelled the pot smoke.

Paris HILTON, at the WYNN?  Hello, your last name is HILTON, you should be at the HILTON in Vegas.

*  The first man teacher I ever had for a subject matter in school (i.e. not gym) was black, that being instrumental music in middle school.  My first calculus teacher was a black man, as was my second calculus teacher, or rather, the instructor who taught the highest level math classes at the JC where I took my second calculus course, as my high school didn’t offer it.  Seems to me there are plenty of black men who are teachers or instructors or professors — They seem to have the luxury of teaching in situations where they have good students.  Then again, any teacher would benefit from a classroom full of quality students.

*  Here’s the exact mirror opposite of Vincent RichardsonThis one was 21 in reality, and wanted to live like he was 14.  Richardson was just the opposite — 14 in reality, but wanted to live like he was 21, or at least the minimum age to be a Chicago cop.

Why can nobody can tell the difference between 14 and 21 anymore?  “The infantilization of the black man in America.”  Talk about words I could write…

*  It’s the order of the day in the UK:  Left-wing extremists protest conservatives, and wind up attacking the police.  It happens so often that I ought to have its own category on this blog.

I joked about it during the Vancouver Olympics, and it’s apparently no joke for the next Games in London the summer after next:  No more real guns in the events that require them.





Kumbaya My Diversity, Kumbaya (Today’s Immigration Stack of Stuff)

30 08 2010

*  There’s black-immigrant bing-banging starting up in St. Louis.  It’s mainly in neighborhoods around the corner of Page and Skinker.  And no, I don’t think holding hands and singing songs is going to stop it.

*  This is actually the literal definition of “decimation,” i.e. lopping off ten percent of something for some reason.  But when it comes to Mexico and corrupt cops, you’d have to do something closer to whatever the word is for getting rid of 90%.





Rhetorical Question for Sam Adams, Mayor of Portland, Oregon

30 08 2010

There are numerous incorporated municipalities in the state of Oregon.  There are lots of gun owners, both legal and illegal, in all those cities.  So why is your city the only one in the state that wants to have and enforce gun laws tougher than the state’s in general, and in spite of state pre-emption statutes?  What is it about Portland that makes guns behave so badly?

In related news, the NYT admits that Chicago’s pre-McDonald handgun laws were rarely enforced and virtually a dead letter.  Now, will the NYT apply their own (sensible, for once) logic to its own city?
