Brain in a Nutshell

[elfs]

Really, if you offend easily, don't drop into the PASWO block. Michael Medved says American whites are genetically superior to everyone else, Rumsfeld hopes for more American deaths to help his party, Bush says stupid things and his lawyer says he's above the law anyway, and as McCain turns toward the center The Family threatens to stab him in the back. But first, the good news:

Another school principal smackdown!

Back in Feburary I blogged a school principal who banned all mentions of homosexuality, down to rainbow stickers, claiming that merely talking about it or showing support was disruptive to his school and indicated "membership in an illegal organization" or "a secret society." (Cool, gays are like Masons now!) When students pushed back, the principal had a "Morality Assembly", and even suspended some students.

Well, a judge has now told him that his lawyer is a moron, that the school board was incompetent and derelict in its duty, and injoined the school against any further harassment. Cool!

We are in the hands monsters.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld suggested that America, having voted the Democrats back into Congressional power, could benefit from suffering another terrorist attack.

Michael Medved: Americans are Genetically Superior

The stupid, it burns! Michael Medved writes that Americans, because our recent ancestors were restless, leave home to conquer a new land types, have inherited genes that make us risk-takers and successful. Except for blacks, of course, whos ancestors were brought here forcibly and were probably the slowest runners of their tribes when the slave-takers came.

No, really. He writes that American blacks are no longer "disadvanted" because race-mixing has given their intrinsically shiftless genes "a less decisive influence."

The Sacrifice Bush Made To Keep The Nation Great

President George Bush said Tuesday night that, in solidarity with the moms, dads, and children who will never again see their loved ones killed in Iraq, he has chosen himself to make his own sacrifices.

He has given up golf.

He really has no idea how stupid that sounds.

Bush's Newest Power Grab

Wait, it's World Net Daily saying something sensible? (Checks window.) Nope, no pigs flying outside. But yes, Nat Hentoff at WND brings us testimony from the White House's chief lawyer that he believes "The president could ignore or modify existing executive orders that he or other presidents have issued without disclosing the new interpretation."

It's not-- yet-- the same as "secret law." (We have those too; try and find out why you're on a TSA watchlist, for example.) What is my country coming to?

McCain flirts with "political suicide."

John McCain, showing his political savvy, is aware that he could get certain one-issue voters to vote for him if his party's platform weren't quite so reactionary, and would accept abortions in cases of rape, incest, and the threatened health of the woman. Trouble is, he attacked Bush when Bush said he was willing to do the same thing, and the entire Christian coalition is now telling him that to flip-flop and change the platform would be "political suicide."

Still working on this, but I'm getting better at it.
