Insanity Becomes Endemic in Britain: Toddler "Racism"
Alright folks, somebody's been spiking the water in Britain. They've elected gumbies to serve as the London Assembly. [Pictured, Mayor of London, Boris Johnson and members of the Assembly in chambers]
The Brits have always been known for their eccentricities, but out and out insanity…who'd 'a thunk it? Some things you just can't make up.

Here I am catching up on some outer news, moving from an article on the last survivor of the Titanic, to this odd thread about educational departments and teaching of the ills of communism.
Interesting piece actually. With a title that reads:

First they came for
In making a point to a friend, I dusted off history (ok, my histories are not dusty, they are always used), and pulled out a poem. Reading it I couldnt help but see that if you changed a few of the words, it might apply to today. I quickly dashed off a version, though [...]

Race: DNA analysis unlocks students' pasts
Brevis esse latoro obscurus fio
The article for which the commentary belongs can be found after the commentary, or one can click here.
<sarcasm>If race is not genetically determined then…</sarcasm>
Its interesting that the work contradicts recent words from the left, and yet, by the time they get to the bottom of the article, they have reapplied [...]

Bomb Squad Disarms Sex Toy In Sweden
Its interesting that the average person thinks themselves and those around them are potential targets to the point that anything they see that fits some odd notion of a bomb (that is more like television or spy vs. spy, than real life), causes them to make a call.

Sally Field recently said, ?If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn?t be any wars.? Interestingly, she did not say ? as many have ? that peace on earth would follow if women per se were in charge. It is rule by women who have children that she, and probably many others, believe could bring about [...]

Did Russia Win the Cold War While We Consider Another Clinton?
On a recent trip back to the United States from Eastern Europe, I noticed that some of my conservative American friends were echoing the western left wing media’s attitude about Vladimir Putin.
