      In New Orleans, Dysfunction Fuels Cycle of Killing

      Posted by Shemuses from New York Times

      Other cities have plenty of murders. But only in New Orleans has there been the uniquely poisoned set of circumstances that has led to this city’s position at the top of the homicide charts. Every phase of the killing cycle here unfolds under the dark star of dysfunction: the murderers’ brutalized childhoods, the often ineffectual police...

    • A slap in the face of every Canadian

      Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail

      The catastrophe of native life in Canada is old news. Decades pass, reports are drafted, articles are published, and nothing happens. Canadians have become as remote to the suffering as spouses in a stale marriage. But now something extraordinary has happened...

    Congress's Apology for Slavery Is a Good Thing—It's Just Not Enough

    Agreed. Now that the apology has been made all can be forgiven and everyone should be happy. Lets get on with life.

    BTW – Slavery wasn’t "just the evil doings of greedy Southern planters." Slavery was a 5,000 year old institution practiced all over the world (and still is in places.)  Perhaps apologies should be demanded from a few of those places?

    Yes, good to know that our Congress is focused on such important issues while they completely ignore stupid things like the cost of energy.

    Obama T-Shirt Sparks Assault, Lawsuit

    $69 bucks for a T-Shirt with those words? And she's the one who's suing? This is just stupid.

    Well if she bought the shirt she obviously was intending to antagonize people. I don't know what she expected would happen.

    States Fail to Offer Voter Registration to Millions of Low-Income Voters

    Another rich against the poor propaganda piece. I am poor and I am registered to vote. And I’m in Florida.

    If you can’t figure out how to register, you are too stupid to vote.

    Well, it's not entirely un-true from a NON-RACIAL standpoint. Obama is as much a 'slave' to what he thinks people want of him as Clinton was (public opinion - he thinks people want 'change,' even if he isn't entirely sure what that change is. Unless maybe it's his mind, which he's shown is quite quick to change!). He's really not an independent entity, except when it comes to things like abortion, where he goes beyond what even many pro-choice supporters are comfortable with, voting against the right of children who SURVIVE abortion to live. In-cred-i-ble.

    Blacks Banned from Bars in Beijing?

    Whether this story is real or not (and I am suspecting that it is not based upon fact) there actually is an issue with expat Nigerians in SE Asia who have made themselves, as a group, very, very unwelcome.
