– Jonah Goldberg: “Making the Klan Boring.”
Kevin Boyle, who teaches history at Ohio State University reviewed a couple books on the Klan in the New York Times yesterday. The KKK of the 1920s is a fascinating story. But it is a difficult one to tell in an interesting or accurate way without ever using the words “Democrat,” “Wilson,” or “Progressive,” which is why Boyle’s review is so lame.
– Introducing The College Conservative:
TheCollegeConservative was launched in November 2011 with one mission: to give young conservative activists a platform to be heard across the nation. Our organization is comprised of conservative college writers from across the United States who are tired of being pushed around by “the ninety-nine percent” and the world of academia. TheCollegeConservative seeks to create an environment where conservative thought is shared, discussed, and understood. TCC is committed to promoting the charges set forth in the Constitution and believes strongly in limited government, responsible, yet strong national defense, and the concept of American Exceptionalism. We make no apologies.
– Remember when the media/progressives called Bush a commie, fascist, etc., and said he was planning on controlling everyone’s lives? Hmmm, have you heard the media report how it is Obama who has ushered in more government regulations than Bush? Me neither.
Regulations.
– Sad panda alert: Crooks and Liars left with egg on its face after Wisconsin reprimands doctors who wrote fake sick notes to union protesters:
In short, Karoli’s [Crooks and Liars blogger] snooty dismissal of the initial report was 100% wrong. The doctors were, essentially, writing fake sick notes. According to the report, in order to issue those notes, the doctors were required to do way more than they did.
Lytle said state law “requires pertinent patient history, pertinent objective findings related to the examination and test results, assessment or diagnosis, and a plan of treatment for the patient.”
Basically, the notes were not backed up by real medical evaluations, proper procedure, and a follow up plan. They didn’t keep full records, either. All required by law. The notes were fake. The doctors got off easy. The next step should be to identify the teachers who submitted the fake sick notes so they can face disciplinary action for their illegal participation in a strike.
Andrew Breitbart is owed an apology from Crooks and Liars.
