Orlando Sentinel: Criminal barbering? Raids at Orange County shops lead to arrests, raise questions. Every once in awhile, libertarian hysteria is proven to be right. I’ve been seeing the “illegal haircutting” meme going around for awhile, but never saw anything concrete.  Here’s an article that talks about raids on Black and Hispanic barbershops in Orange County, [...]

By the by? On the People’s Glorious Republic of God-King Obama’s Hate Crimes Legislation

By | October 29, 2009

This was originally directed to the Zombama/Obamatron 4000/Barackobot who is now running my unversity’s chapter of College Democrats. He blindly accepts, follows, and loves everything the party tells him and in a surprise passive-aggressive move (lol), he posted the CNN link to the hate crimes bill to a mutual friend who has recently broken ties [...]

Baker’s dozen links dump

By | August 16, 2009

Enjoy these news bits: A Chinese man keeps his severed leg in formaldehyde for 20 years.  Why?  To warn people about the dangers of drinking and driving. Speaking of boozing, apparently, Obama is an alcoholic.  It’s not because of the binge drinking, it’s because the 48 year old occasionally drinks a beer. Apparently, privileged women [...]

Inmates help bring tourism to Wilson. It is the highest-paid job at the prison, starting at $1 a day, said Olivia Jordan, supervisor of the call center. Inmates must take a tourism class taught at the prison through Wake Technical Community College before they can apply. Well, gee golly! $1 an hour! These are jobs [...]
