Floyd | Friday, 29th of May 2009 at 09:53:59 AM Ladies… meet Mr. Desmond Hatchett. Stay away if you’re in the Knoxville and if you’re particularly fertile because Mr. Hatchett is a baby-making machine. 21 babies, 11 “ladies”. Have these people never heard of condoms? Birth control pills? I distinctly remember my tax dollars going to fund these items for people with no discipline, [...]

Floyd | Friday, 29th of May 2009 at 09:26:29 AM In a similar vein to John FN’s post on soon-to-be Justice Sotomayor and her “crawl” up the ladder of success… I suggest this book on class and poverty.
Here’s a description from The Manhattan Institute:
Here is a searing account—probably the best yet published—of life in the underclass and why it persists as it [...]

JohnFN | Friday, 29th of May 2009 at 07:39:16 AM The Corner’s John Derbyshire (who I think might be crazy) posts this note from a reader on the Sonia Sotomayor’s “compelling life story.”
I’ve been hoping that someone might be bold enough to rain on the Sotomayor “compelling life story” parade.
The woman grew up in the capital of the world, went to two [...]

Mike | Friday, 29th of May 2009 at 06:19:09 AM I noticed three interesting news stories this morning, but couldn’t find an angle for a full post on any of them. So here you go.
Kansas girl rides “Laodicean” to National Spelling Bee victory
Why was she riding a Laodicean? Is that another job Americans just won’t do?

JohnFN | Thursday, 28th of May 2009 at 08:09:24 PM Selena Roberts, the most wrong-headed columnist in the history of the New York Times (and boy is that saying something), is on a publicity tour for her scathing new book on Alex Rodriguez.
Roberts repeatedly misconstrued facts in the Duke lacrosse case and went as far to insinuate that the rape occurred after the players [...]

Apparently, truth is whatever Snopes.com says it is.
Snopes is a valuable site which tracks down rumors and urban legends and seeks to ascertain the facts behind the stories. They are, however, completely unreliable concerning anything that might reflect poorly upon Democrats (or well upon Republicans).
Yesterday, I was planning on writing a post [...]

I know we’re all proud of our Latin-speaking staff and their attempts to up our collective IQ points, but Jules still says it best: “English, MFer, do you speak it?!?!?”

JohnFN | Thursday, 28th of May 2009 at 08:28:38 AM Director Blue’s story on political affiliations and Chrysler dealer closings is taking hold. Neil Cavuto and “Fox and Friends” have both discussed it on air. Surprisingly, it’s gaining traction despite a lack of substantial evidence at this point.
The furor is also growing in the blogosphere. A skeptical (and he should be) Jonah Goldberg pointed [...]

Mike | Thursday, 28th of May 2009 at 07:17:21 AM Chacun a sont gout.
Here’s a site that highlights one-star Amazon reviews of classic movies, books, and albums (do they still call them “albums?”). I wish I’d thought of this—but give me a week, and I will have.

Floyd | Thursday, 28th of May 2009 at 06:53:17 AM A San Diego couple is cited for holding a 15 person weekly Bible study in their home.
The county employee notified the couple that the small bible study, with an average of 15 people attending, was in violation of county regulations, according to Broyles.
Broyles said a few days later the couple received a written [...]

Because he’s from the Bill Self School of “Whitebread Can Be Yummy!”
Because as re: his reaction to an SC overturn of Red Sonia…I wasn’t there, but it sounds like he rolled his eyes over her judgement, and I love him for that.
Because apparently [...]

Christian Toto reviews the pilot episode at Pajamas Media.

Floyd | Wednesday, 27th of May 2009 at 10:09:20 AM I haven’t posted a Spengler item in awhile… he never ceases to challenge me, but I haven’t checked in on Asia Times Online in a couple of months so I check back and Spengler has outed himself — and is now at First Things (a journal I highly recommend if you are at all interested [...]

Mike | Wednesday, 27th of May 2009 at 07:49:48 AM A transcript of a wire-tapped conversation between Roland Burris and Rob Blagojevich was released to the Senate ethics committee. (Rob was the chief fund-raiser for his brother, disgraced ex-Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.)
You can find several excerpts at USA Today.
A taste:
“I know I could give him a check,” Burris says. “Myself. … I will [...]
