It’s astonishing that anyone can pretend to be surprised. Of course he was going to pardon his son.

Are there any American Indian tribes that did not have slaves? Just asking.

how many platform divers?

Did they bail out any white criminals? (if so, why?)

where’s my book? post office says “a label has been prepared” weeks ago.

and Bach?

probably larger and better looking too, control for that?

In season 4 of the Bosch series the black lawyer assisting the blacklawyer murder victim is named “Kaplan”. Leter there’s a really non-Polish looking actress with a Polish name. DOn;’t writers care? My assumption is that the black named Kaplan was adopted b a Jewish couple, but he isn’t important enough to have a back story. The NOn-Pole could be using a married name- again no back story. Who cares?

If you live on the west side of a time zone you’ll hate it. If it’s permanent, I’d expect Georgia to switch to central. And that way when the Braves played other teams in the east the games would start at 6:00 or 6:30 Atlanta time, and by 8 much of the game would be already recorded, and just right to watch before bed time.

O’Brian is the master, both of dialogue and action (the written action scenes are straight out of naval reports). Master and COmmander, the movie, is very late in the sequence of novels. Too bad they couldn’t have started with Heath Ledger while Jack was young and pretty, and moved on to Crowe after he had put on some years. A tall good-looking Maturin may have helped box office, but the real Maturin would have been Antonio Gades (flamenco dancer and actor in movies by Saura)

The 20 novels can be reread with great enjoyment every 3 or 4 years.

Justice Holmes, mentioned in your article, makes possible some really short connections to the distant past. His last law clerk was a speaker at some sort of cruise, possibly National Review, somewhere around 2015. One shake with him connects to a man whose father (Holmes Sr.) was connected to everyone important in New England in the 1840’s. Justice Holmes as a boy knew men who had fought in the Revolution. Probably knew Melville and Emerson and Hawthorne too.

try this version of paint it black

People who are perceived as intelligent usually have read a great deal more than others. It is difficult to say how much of their perceived intelligence is innate, and how much simply due to their greater reading experience (although that is directly related to their intelligence.)

sort of ugly

is Jeanne whoever better than Animal House?

the NR article about Jackie Robinson and white men’s support of civil rights. really long ago.

There probably are evil white people who hate black people (as opposed to holding negative beliefs about the group) but it’s hard to imagine these people placing a symbolic noose in public (as opposed to using one on a victim); the same goes for painting the n word on a wall. Always a hoax.

The Atlanta SAVAGES!

oH BOY! tHE WHITE PEOPLE ALL TURN BROWN. Do they all lose IQ points, diligence and thrift? If not, what changes?

It seems like the real problem is kids being mean to effeminate boys, which, coming from the past, I don’t remember as a thing. Boys knew who was effeminate, but the more dominant boys would protect them from being picked on. Yes, they weren’t going to be chosen to ply 3d base

I’m interested in Mick Herron, Edward St. Aubyn, Neal Stephenson. If I want women fiction writers it’ll still be Jane Austen every couple of years.

The key bit in the evidence is that Heard claims to be an abused wife, but her own recordings show her taunting the abuser. Actual abused wives know that taunting NEVER happens in a real abusive relationship.

While we’re talking about usage standards, wouldn’t it be useful if all responsible publications began using quotation marks around “white supremacy?”

Pretty sure there’s a strong correlation between IQ and auto accidents. Saw it somewhere.

I don’t care about helping the olympics succeed, but it seemed obvious years ago that there was no reason not to move boxing and wrestling into the winter games. that way some men would watch.

Very interesting — chinese-Americans choosing to compete for CHina. Remember bin Laden on the strong horse and the weak horse.

On the other hand, crazy people don’t usually make good parents.

Wonderlic scores run 1-50. The article gives Cooper-Kupp 132, and somebody else 140. What’s up?

Will they start torturing prisoners?

How long does it take to set up a one click website with the crime info for home-buyers? Good place for gun ads and security companies.

The thing about pronouns is that the pronoun that refers to the person to whom you are speaking is “you.’ If I say “he” or “she,” I’m referring to someone other than the person to whom I am talking. So the people excited about pronouns are claiming a right to control how you speak about them. Why isn’t it a thought crime to refer to someone as “that asshoe/” Or is that coming?

Why aren’t the trolls also posting “It’s NOT OK to be White.” This would make an amusing conflict. Boys just want to have fun.

If they robbed 40 women they must have discovered that the rumor was true.

Steve, do you have to explain that Faber College (with the profound motto) is from Animal House? let the young philistines wonder.

In the entire history of the world mankind has not been hard working. That’s the exception. That’s why some people are rich and others are not. Thomas Sowell has documented this in books like Race and Culture, and The Economics and Politics of race. (Most of the material in these books is concerned with minorities other than black Americans). In America immigrant groups who are frugal and industrious have risen to wealth in a generation or two. If significant groups lose interest in working hard, American prosperity is over.

Wait until they find out about Brazil nuts.

I had to roll through a lot of comments to get this observation.

It’s the mirror image of the invisible hand.

This “limited good” idea is not limited to tribesmen. The book “Envy” by Helmut Schoeck describes how this fault has limited development in many societies including Russia.
Envy: A Theory of Social Behaviour, Helmut Schoeck, Liberty Press (Indianapolis, 1969) first published in German, 1966,

So more than half of felony convictions do not result in jail time? Am I reading those results right?

If we had a real Pope he would declare that all European Catholics must oppose membership in the EU. and What would Calvin think?

Sterilizing a small subset of crazy people isn’t nearly enough;

I see “Black” UNCAPITALIZED more than once. Didn’t you get the memo?

On this particular issue it may be because Jews have the most problem children.

How about single sex schools as a postponing method?

“fearless girl” ought to be “Girl facing certain death” I once knew a female law student sure that men and women weren’t really that different. I asked her to imagine walking across a field in the country and suddenly noticing that there was a large animal watching her. I asked her if her reaction would be the same whether it was a bull or a cow. She didn’t think there would be a difference! (not that cows can’t be dangerous.)

That combination of statues is sadistic and horrific for anyone with an imagination and any knowledge of animal behavior

I seem to recall that one of the ancestry sites made a practice of adding a little black ancestry to many reports with the admirable intention of increasing interracial feelings of brotherhood. So maybe those stats aren’t completely reliable.
Also, did any slave culture other than the Christian ones ever believe that sex with slaves was somehow wrong?

check out bio-leninism.

I moved from Detroit to Atlanta 50 years ago and thank God every January.

For Bach there’s usually a first name. the reason is instructive.

Just a first impression, but the list of names doesn’t seem to include a lot of Jewish Ph.D.’s. Usually one would expect them to be in the forefront of a social justice program. And how about Asian males. When I think of math stars, I think Jewish and Chinese. Is there any sort of ranking system for academic mathematicians? Somehow I don’t think there are any superstars in this constellation.

Has anyone asked her if she has befriended any untouchables or people of low caste?

Some hell needs to be raised about the exclusion of Jews and homosexuals from the list of favored minorities. That would also solve all Hollywood problems immediately.

Very cool not to mention any particular tribe.

WHat was that white woman thinking. Surely there are stories of white women cutting in line ahead of black women and ending up in the hospital. Aren’t there? Even if she didn’t recognize Ms. Obama, surely she could have seen that physique and thought “here’s someone who could kick my ass.” and might well do it.

Unaware of the Cosby show we named our daughter Olivia, which seemed a lovely, unusual and multi-syllabic girl’s name (to go with a one syllable last name). When she got to school we found that it was very common .

Don’t worry “white people,” you’ll keep running things? Don’t the Kleins have some insight into their cousins who intend to keep running things?

rhymes with stinx

WHy doesn’t Peter Theil start a new Paypal. Surely he couldn’t have a permanent non-compete agreement. He sold out in 2002. It seems like money lying on the ground. Half of America hates Paypl already or would if fully informed.

Biden has it right! That’s what to do when the protests turn to riots. Shoot them in the legs.

There’ll be a jury trial followed by looting.

I agree as to t he contemptuous attitude, but didn’t think it was all that pervasive — once he got into the alternative reality there wasn’t much occasion. It’s always been there in his writing, , but when you consider his background, he could hardly avoid it.

“no such evidence” is clearly wrong. There is the testimony of the “victim”; that is certainly “evidence.” The two were somewhat isolated when Rudolph was thrown to the ground. What other evidence could there be? Oh yes, the evidence of other players that Rudolph is known to use the “n word” How likely is that for a white NFL player. How long would it remain a secret?

And what about Garrett? Has he made such charges in the past?

weren’t “soap operas” on radio first?

almost all these giants were white men

Maybe this is a place to note which ones were Jews. If they’re going to get blames, they also ought to get credit when due.

When I was in grade school a very long time ago, we memorized a list of pronouns which ended with “he, she, it.” If required to recite this list, the boys, (some of the boys) would elongate the she. This produces a very satisfactory non-binary pronoun: hesheeeeiitt. Let’s introduce it.

infinitely smarter, but with centuries less experience.

I’ve been to India. It’s another planet.

Exactly right. How can the writers resist, No such thing as bad publicity. Smollett has more publicity than anyone. THe story arc is tremendous, especially is some writers with a gift for black comedy can be found to make that story line hilarious. Imagine the store clerk raising her eyebrow when the huge black men are buying the ski masks. How about the camera that points the wrong way, and the altered phone records when the police already have the real ones. That’s just the factual stuff, now make up more. A comedy of errors. How not to do a scam. This could build an audience for Empire among white conservatives,

Then, at the end, you send him off to jail and forget him, or start a spinoff.

Has anyone demanded that Cleopatra should be played by a Greek?

St. louis wide fanbase also due to broadcasts on a radio station grandfathered in to have more power than regulated stations. Their games could be heard all over the midwest. In Detroit, baseball fans with an interest in the National League followed St. Louis because of the broadcasts.

Let’s agree that a violent crime by a white against a black person is often influenced by ill-feeling toward blacks and that a violent crime by a black person against a white is almost always influenced by ill-feeling toward whites. Does anyone disagree? Or is hate crime exclusive to white perpetrators.

Republicans, if they lose the majority, should unify to prevent Clyburn from stealing the place that rightfully belongs to Maxine Waters. Let’s make it fun.

How long can they get away with the Mark Twain school? Didn’t he use the “n word” really often. And New York City too, don’t those people read?

Choosing and preparing sites for the Olympics is a huge waste of time and money except for the opportunities for graft. If it’s such a benefit to the places where the Olympics are held, let’s do something for poor old Greece. Let them have the summer Olympics every year. One set of stadiums,. etc. All Greece is good for is tourism any way. It would be like an international charitable donation. If Greece ever manages to balance it’s budget we can switch it to Spain, or Haiti.
