Amusing ‘Multicultural’ Encounters

February 15, 2006

Just got back from the corner store picking up a few supplies. Rewind. So I’m minding my own business and picking out items when I overhear an amusing exchange between a Spanish-speaking and probably illegal alien shelf stocker and an Ethiopian woman. They’re in the meat section, and she’s asking him in broken English if [...]

Update on Southern Illinois University

February 15, 2006

2/16 —Michelle Malkin spoke at Oberlin College (her alma mater) yesterday. Read the after-report. In light of the “Damien King” hate mail, it’s enlightening, particularly on the subject of “groupthink.” ——————————————————————————————– You may recall that the Justice Department was threatening to sue Southern Illinois University (SIU) for offering graduate school fellowships based on race, a [...]

February 14, 2006

I heart Lynn Swann. NRO links to this blog, but I was referring to the blog on his official web site. Update: Swann will run for governor of Pennsylvania.

My Brother’s Keeper

February 14, 2006

***2/15/06 — Scroll down for updates*** ——————————————————————– One of the many reasons I don’t like the term “African American” is that I’m not African, and I doubt any African — black or white — would claim me as such. Being of African descent doesn’t make one African. It’s strange that we use the word “African” [...]

The Entrepreneurial Drive

February 13, 2006

Tannette Johnson-Elie writes about immigrants and the entrepreneurial drive, something largely absent among black Americans in inner cities: Porter’s research, along with other recent studies, show that immigrants bring something you can’t get from a government program: work ethic and job-creation skills, and ambition coupled with the resolve to make the most of the investment [...]

***Monday, February 13 — Scroll down for updates*** Looking for the “podcast?” Download the MP3 at Captain’s Quarters. —————————————————————————- Third and final day of CPAC. I asked Judge Charles Pickering (pictured) his opinion of blogs. (See Judicial battles stem from culture war) Blogging is citizen participation, which is good, and blogging is a lot like [...]

February 10, 2006

Update (2/11): Follow the link for today’s CPAC post. —————————————————————————— I’m coming to you live from CPAC. I met a member of an endangered species: a single, straight, black, socially conservative, Christian man (and he reads my blog – excellent). Did I mention that he was single? I couldn’t resist uploading this boring vanity shot, [...]

Friday, February 10: See updated post. —————————————————————————————————————————– I am pumped up, let me tell you! I’m a credentialed blogger at the Conservative Political Action Conference for the second year running.

Bogus Rights

February 8, 2006

Government is necessary, but the only rights we can delegate to government are the ones we possess. If I could contain my conservative ideology in a single, 634-word column, it would read something like Walter Williams’s latest, Bogus Rights. This idea of rights is the foundation of my belief in conservative principles. Williams writes: The [...]

Funeral Blogging?

February 8, 2006

Nothing is “sacred” or off-limits anymore. In my mind, funerals should be dignified and respectful services to honor the life of the deceased and help family and friends say goodbye, not political events. But the King family turned it into one, and bloggers became participants in the sideshow by adding to the partisanship. In my [...]

Empty-Headed Education

February 7, 2006

Update: Visit the Carnival of Homeschooling! Also visit The Old Schoohouse Magazine. —————————————————— I thought if I wrote about race and intelligence, the sky would fall. It hasn’t. Not even a star. In my little corner of the blogosphere, I’m trying to raise awareness and get a few things out in the open. While people [...]

February 6, 2006

According to Target Market, a company that tracks black consumer spending, blacks spend a significant amount of their income on depreciable products. Among our favorite purchases are cars and liquor. Blacks make up only 12% of the U.S. population, yet account for 30% of the country’s Scotch consumption. Detroit, which is 80% black, is the [...]

Why Rolling Stone Didn’t Put Kanye West as Muhammad on the Cover

February 4, 2006

Update III (2/6): Muslims apologize on behalf of their barbaric brothers. ————————————————————————————————- Liberal editors are a lot smarter than they look. If Rolling Stone had put Kanye West posing as Muhammad on the cover, they’d be in hiding, too. Instead, they chose the safer route: West, a rapper and contributor to the cultural toilet, posing [...]

Friday’s Blogospheric Conditions

February 3, 2006

Cake Blogging – Remember my post about Warren Brown? He’s a D.C. entrepreneur who just opened his third story store (What kind of freudian slip is that, I wonder…) and landed a show on the Food Network called Sugar Rush. Too cool. Warren’s joined the blogosphere. Visit the Official CakeLove Blog. While you’re surfing, visit [...]
