With moderately sincere appreciation, we can declare our gratitude to Farragut Drive resident/attorney/critic Les Greenberg. Stepping where others have declined to tread, Mr. Greenberg noted here yesterday that a City Councilman with whom he disagreed at Monday night’s meeting should have recused himself from the whole mess. Why?
Do Pregnant Leftists Suffer from Morning Frackness?
It may surprise you more than me to learn, according to a recent LAPD report, 47 percent of over-30 unmarried adults who drive by our home on weekdays suffer from psoriasis. Less than a mile away, in the neighborhood of my friend Moshe, only 29 percent of unwed passersby admit to psoriasis. Obviously, Moshe and his family attract a classier, and healthier, clientele. Should we move? Or sue our realtor? Or open a psoriasis roadside stand?
Are You Nervous Warming up for the Obama Speech?
Awaiting President Obama’s How I Am Going to Passively Confront the Darned (I Forget Their Religion) Militants speech tomorrow is as titillating as anticipating the return of your spouse 21 seconds after she leaves the room.
No suspense. No surprise. Only more lukewarm ice water explained so sonorously that those who bother to tune in will think they, too, have become infected by Mr. Obama’s lethal passivity.
Difference Between the Beheadings of Pearl and of Sotloff
Since hearing the news last evening, my mind has been monopolized by thoughts of the tragic journalist Steven Sotloff’s family. It has been like imagining what life was like in the 15th century. I have no idea.
If You Favor Tenure for Teachers, Put Down the Halos and Say Why.
As every child learns early, when you enter a debate unarmed, without a worthy counterargument, you are obligated to promptly change the subject if you care to finish with your skin spanning all of your bones. Welcome to the fairy tale world of teacher tenure in California, where a job-for-life is yours without asking, where the now-overruled and loaded last-in, first-out policy has been mercifully killed, pending appeal.
The Oily Bird Warns About the Perils (?) of Fracking
My postman was breathless, red-faced and dripping with blue-collar perspiration when he hammered on the door this morning and handed me this urgent 105-word message from our dear friends at Food & Water Watch (act@fwwatch.org):
What Was the President Thinking in Ferguson Gaffe?
The confounding President of the United States this morning committed another deliberate error, not to be confused with a gaffe of deliberation. President Obama’s racist tendencies, calculatedly egged on last week in Ferguson, by the race-baiting U.S. Atty. Gen Eric Holder, emerged proudly in the Missouri sunlight of today’s funeral.
Take Responsibility, Dr. Hutchinson
At the ripe age of 68 years old, it is difficult to believe that Dr. Earl Ofari Hutchinson, a gentleman of considerable influence, writes with a straight face when he lays whitey at the root of the black community’s most rudimentary problems:
Parents Without Values – Why Black Students Fare Poorly
I was thinking of the thousands of racist Ferguson residents who have pledged to passively remain on government welfare the rest of their lives while reading, over the weekend, about another teenage punk, also black, an overweight 13-year-old cell phone snatcher in Brooklyn. The fat kid sneaked up on a 36-year-old businesswoman who was standing in front of a store making a work call on Friday afternoon at 1:20.
A Lesson the Rioting Unemployed of Ferguson Need to Learn
Our dear racist friends on the left are off their meds again. The happily unemployed racists in Ferguson can read these words on their freshly stolen computers. What Scrooge would begrudge a racist a window of joy – scanning the internet — that normal Americans take for granted?
