The Riot Ideology

Yesterday, I mentioned Fred Siegel’s The Future Once Happened Here in connection with the Trayvon Martin case. Siegel’s book is one of those timeless classics — like Christopher Lasch’s The Culture of Narcissism and Thomas Sowell’s The Vision of the Anointed — that I frequently recommend as guides to understanding important social phenomena more deeply.

‘Due to Her Excellent Reputation Among California Democrats …’

This was what you might call “a clue”: Kinde Durkee, once a trusted treasurer to dozens of California Democrats, pleaded guilty in the biggest campaign embezzlement case ever to hit U.S. politics.

California Broke, Blames Redmond, Threatens #Occupy Road Trip In The Name Of ‘Fairness’

by Smitty The state of California woke up in a gutter after a two-week bender, to discover that there isn’t enough room left on the plastic to make it to the end of the fiscal year. “It’s not fair,” said California. “2011 really sucked, and so I partied a little bit over the MLK weekend. […]

Great News! John Dennis Undeterred In The Anti-Pelosi Struggle

by Smitty Do you remember John Dennis, brought to national attention by this Ladd Ehlinger outing? I just got a phone call from his campaign, and he’s running in 2012. Granted, his numbers are even rougher than Patrick Murray’s against Jim Moran, but the struggle against the Ruling Class Overlords permits no rest. John Dennis […]
