Misc. Topics of the Day (With the Chief's Quick Comments)
Professorial Inquisition (Again)
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42539
The latest case of PC censorship. So much for academic freedom! Reminds me all over again why I changed my major from Political Science to Biology - I got tired of downgrading due to having the wrong point of view.
Fourth estate or fifth column

Thomas Sowell is always worth a read, and always contributes something substantial to wrap your mind around. This one is especially enjoyable as it sends a spread of intellectual torpodoes at the convoy of the MSM concerning their Iraq coverage (or, as the case may be, non-coverage). The MSM is noted to have a reluctance to call a "spade a spade", which is NOT something one could ever say about Dr. Sowell.

Developing our own resources? Shocking, simply shocking! What next?
Senate Debate on Rice Confirmation
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,145325,00.html
Let's see. Debate continues because of Robert KKK Byrd leads opposition to black female nominee. One can only shudder at what the MSM reaction would have been if it was a conservative former KKK member opposing her nomination. As for Dem. Byrd et al, it's free-ride time once again.
