The Tea Party gets a bad rap. It was mocked this weekend by the self-indulgent, incoherent Comedy Central rally in DC, supposedly to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. While some have said their rally meant nothing, I believe it was the encore performance of Bush-era contempt for those who were reasonably and genuinely concerned for safety [...]

Achievement Gap and Testing
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Achievement Gap, Education, HBD, IQ, Liberals, Psychometrics, Testing on 20 Aug 2010 | 2 Comments »
One of the funny things in life is that the liberal elite spends a lot of its time contemplating its genius, much in the manner of Aristotle’s Prime Mover. And this takes the form chiefly of feeling superior to and contrasting itself with Red State America. The usual basis of this feeling of superiority is [...]

I recently completed Diversity: Invention of a Concept, by Peter Wood. This is the first of several book reviews I’ll be writing of books generously sent to me by my readers. Diversity has become one of the defining ideals of our age, surpassing in certain respects our earlier commitments to formal equality, liberty, the rule [...]

Ace reports an extraordinary story that I’d like to hear the disciples of judicial process and civil liberties for terrorists in the Democratic Party respond to: Last May, Iraqi terrorists kidnapped three American soldiers. American intelligence officials searched for cyber-signals about the kidnapping… and actually found them. They found the kidnappers talking to each other [...]

The University of Chicago Law School’s Geoff Stone says that Columbia was within its rights and fulfilling its core values in allowing Iran’s President to speak. I don’t necessarily disagree, nor do I completely disagree with his statement that “[b]ecause a university must remain neutral on all matters of public policy that do not directly [...]
The Economy and the State

Andrew Sullivan, as usual, is confused and lets himself get carried away when it comes to homosexuality. He notes, “In 1994, just 19 Fortune 500 brands advertised in the gay press. Last year, 183 did.” He concludes solemnly, “The private sector has long led the government in recognizing the simple reality of gay America.” Umm, [...]
Jena Six and the “Schoolyard Fight”

One lesson is clear from Jena: Ignore the media at your peril. The military, prosecutors, Ken Starr, and many others have learned this lesson repeatedly. Talk to the media and they may distort what you say, but say nothing and you’ll get run over by opponents. CNN’s melodramatic focus on the “schoolyard fight” and the [...]
