    We’re not approaching the point at which hope triumphs over experience are we?

    All the respectable liberal mainstream press outlets were crowing today that “Only 3 out of 58 men arrested” for the Cologne attacks were “refugees.”

    http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/02/15/cologne-sex-attacks-refugees-prosecutor_n_9235358.html

    Then the German authority they quoted had to correct the record.

    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/cologne-prosecutor-majority-suspects-asylum-seekers-36946143

    This Independent article was leading the liberal fiction salvo. Notice how they have tried to make changes to save face, still keeping the “3 out of 58” number but taking out “only” from the headline. And trying to suggest they only meant “recent” refugees or those who already had their applications approved, adding some pathetic appeal to the dictionary by claiming “a refugee is commonly understood to mean either an individual who has been granted asylum or someone who has fled a conflict zone.”

    Hell, even Jezebel is admitting it.

    Has anyone else seen the thermonuclear meltdown at Tepid Air over their planned switching to Facebook based comment system?

    now approaching 5,000 (five thousand-not a typo) comments

    Saw that on Twitter and was greatly amused.

    Good. Just checking in case an intervention is needed.

    If that point gets close, get a bottle of good Bourbon and lay down for awhile. The fever will go away. As long, that is, you aren’t laying down beside her.

    Morrisey is pretty thin skinned about it too. I think they are making a serious mistake. Even Malkin is against it.
    Alas, she sold the site. I hope it was worth it to her.
    It seems much of what Salem touches goes to the dogs.

    It’s far beyond that now. ConstantineIX got banned when he told Morrisey on twitter that the decision needs to be revesed if Morrisey wants to keep his job. I saw early on that little Ed was a poor choice to head Hot Air after Salem bought it.
    Using Facebook is an act of gross stupidity. Morrisey thinks the commentariat is just as stupid as he is.
