I read the Washington Post's article about Clarence Thomas' memoir with a combination of disbelief and outrage. It took THREE reviewers to write it?! (Kevin Merida, I believe, is African-American; I don't know about the others. Did the WP require a black writer to lend gravitas? If so, none lent...) And Thomas got $1.5 million for less than 300 pages? I'd call Thomas, now and always, a whiny-a**ed t*tty-baby, if this phrase were not defamatory to actual infants. Thomas certainly wasn't the only student so poor in college as to attempt to sell blood (I did), but the fact that he was refused because his pulse was "too low" reinforces my belief that Clarence Thomas is part-lizard. Tssss. Remainder shelf, here it comes!

So dittoheads are constantly trying to sanitize the wikipedia entry on Rush Limbaugh?

I think there are some people here who may be happy to rectify that error.

FYI, Mann Coulter is releasing yet another hate another hate-filled ranting book tomorrow. Be prepared for the reich-wing MSM to bend over to kiss his arse all week. I'm predicting no fewer than 5 appearances on faux this week.

Thanks for the links to the Medved obscenities and their critiques. Just wanted to mention that there is a small but organized group of white folks speaking up on these issues, including CURE, which actively supports reparations. We gave a point by point response to a similar screed by David Horowitz a few years back in a book we have published.

Michael Medved's piece on slavery is so profoundly wrong, on so many levels. I feel dirty filthy for having read it. He thinks he is being reasonable or scholarly? The only thing he has achieved is to let us have a good look at a twisted mind and a degraded soul - his own.

I have just received a lesson on the banality of evil.

Wonderful job, Steven....

To the net neutrality supporters out there, here's another argument in favor:

Bollinger, Medved and Thomas would make a nice threesome, don't you think? It is incredible, the number of crazy, wacko, morality level-nil people that make up the right. They seem to be completely unaware that the way that they live their lives is counter to the crap they spew. These people are delusional and should seek treatment.

Thanks for sharing the poignant blog post. Nice to know that this level of kindness and concern for another person still exists.
