No limits

To the idiotic evil of the politically correct: They may still be in nappies and playing with sand and building blocks but many toddlers are already racists, nurseries have been warned. To stop prejudice from developing while children are still three years old, staff need to ensure that different racial groups “play together right from […]

Those Islamists may have a point

When they say that Western secular society isn’t worth defending: A girl of 14, appearing in court for a second drink-driving offence, threw a jug of water at magistrates, punched a solicitor and ran around screaming abuse and kicking furniture after hearing that she was going to be detained for four months…. Her outburst occurred […]

I may have to rethink the death penalty

Color me superficial, but with no dearth of evil under the sun, reading this upset me more than anything in months: Vandals wrecked Europe’s most valuable collection of 60 Jaguar cars by crashing them in a game of dodgems. The cars, including some models dating back to the 1930s, were said to be worth more […]

And 10 votes each for the brain-damaged

The English propose to expand the franchise: Young people should be able to vote – and stand for Parliament – at 16, under proposals for the biggest shake-up of the electoral system since the introduction of universal suffrage…. Both main parties are understood to be sympathetic to the report. Gordon Brown has agreed to speak […]

People are even dumber than they look

The Telegraph on the EU’s latest legal atrocity: The islanders’ revolt has been brewing for some time. First, this community of Swedish-speaking Finns lost the right to fish at sea with traditional nets. Then Alanders saw their beloved spring duck hunting virtually abolished. To the Alanders’ final outrage, local laws on consuming “snus” or Swedish […]

False modesty

Tiny Cat Pants invokes the immutable losers’ law: It makes me think that there are libertarian men who just kind of are powerful, cantakerous, assholes by nature, but who, at heart, are good men. And then there are men who feel powerless in the face of whatever it is they fear and who set out […]

Sports Guy or Kwisatz Haderach?

Women do ruin everything: A tide of lawsuits by female staff is forcing financial institutions to ban the practice of entertaining clients with a raucous night at a lapdancing club. This also demonstrates Camille Paglia’s assertion that feminism is primarily concerned with the interests of white, upper-middle class women. I’m sure the hundreds of young […]

The strength of glass

Bandersnatch notes an amusing little kerfluffle: Oh man, Vox, you’re missing out on quite the dramafest. Some students at feministe blogger Jill’s campus are considering a Miss NYC calendar – this has upset young Jill for obvious reasons, she posted on feministe about this, some students read her posts and have been bashing her on […]

Bi-factional rule in Britain

From the Telegraph: David Cameron faced criticism from the Right and Left last night as he tried to reposition the Conservative Party as a defender of the historical principles of the NHS. In his biggest speech since becoming leader, Mr Cameron tore up the policy he helped to promote under Michael Howard – which offered […]

For the little piggies that want to

A few thoughts while at the gym this morning: 1. Recognize that your preferences will change regularly. Right now, I hate doing bench – which is weird, I usually love it – and I dislike pull-ups too, but I like doing curls and dumbbell shoulder press. I LOVE dumbbell shoulder press, if you do only […]
