I'm making a list of vulnerable members of Congress who voted for the health-care bill. Their opponents will be getting my money. In making judgments about who is vulnerable, I am using Michael Barone's insightful Almanac of American Politics. If you've never sat down and paged through it, you definitely should. It's so much more than just a political reference book. I'm keeping it on my bedside table these days. [read post]

Here's a charming story told to NoIndoctrination.org by a student from the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse. (NoIndoctrination.org, by the way, is a web site at which students may comment on classroom bias.):"Let me begin by saying that I received an AB [GPA 3.5] in this course, so this posting isn't harshness triggered by a bad grade.All of Dr. Betton's lectures centered around pushing his viewpoint and what he felt was right.

The San Diego jury did its job in acquitting a church nursery school volunteer of Satanic ritual abuse.On this day in 1993, a jury of his peers acquitted Dale Akiki, a volunteer nursery school assistant at his church, of charges of child abuse and kidnapping. I guess that means justice was done. Except that it wasn't. Dale Akiki should never have been tried in the first place. He spent 2 ½ years in jail awaiting trial. And while he later filed a civil case against the County of San Diego… [read post]

Was there ever a more perfect name for a civil rights plaintiff? She and her late husband get the credit for consigning miscegenation laws to the dustbin of American history. Rest in peace, Mrs. Loving. The New York Times has this to say:By their own widely reported accounts, Mrs. Loving and her husband, Richard, were in bed in their modest house in Central Point in the early morning of July 11, 1958, five weeks after their wedding, when the county sheriff and two deputies,… [read post]

Earlier this year, a group of Congressional Democrats--including Senators Edward Kennedy and Barbara Boxer--announced with great fanfare a renewed effort to revive the formerly-defunct Equal Rights Amendment. "Elections have consequences, and isn't it true those consequences are good right now?" Senator Boxer asked a cheering audience of ERA supporters at the Capitol Hill press conference. I had to laugh. Equal rights? When was the last time you heard about Ted Kennedy or… [read post]

You can get anything on Ebay ... even pictures of your ancestors. I knew I had a great, great, great aunt (or something like that) named Maxine Elliott (1868-1940) who had been a Broadway actress. But all I knew about her was that she used to send Christmas cards from the Riviera to my mother's family in rural Maine during the Depression. According to my mother, she would enclose a picture of her monkey. Mom was impressed with the monkey. And my… [read post]

When I was in high school over thirty years ago, I received a number of checks from a woman who identified herself only as "Madame X." At least I assume that she was a woman; the checks arrived in the mail, so I never saw Madame X. And they were cashier's checks, so there was no name on them. All I can remember is that they were drawn on a bank in Springfield, Virginia. And I didn't know anybody who lived or worked in Springfield (although Springfield is… [read post]

UC-San Diego's Hal Pashler has an interesting paper entitled "U.S. Immigrants' Attitudes Toward Libertarian Values." Using data from the 2010 General Social Survey, Pashler examined differences between foreign-born residents and US-born residents in their views on free expression. The General Social Survey contained 15 questions specifically on free expression values. Five hypothetical situations were covered—all of them concerning the expression of individuals whose views… [read post]

Those who hoped that President Barack Obama would champion the kind of education reform needed to help close the racial achievement gap may have been more optimistic than the evidence warranted, but their hope was not entirely far-fetched. As the nation’s first African-American President, Obama was in a unique position to cast some healthy skepticism upon the use of race-based admissions policies at colleges and universities. Unlike any… [read post]
