Posted at 9:32am on Jul. 11, 2008 Gun Slinging Mayor of Jackson, Miss Indicted -- And the Party is...
By Warner Todd Huston
Along with a few of his police bodyguards Mayor Frank Melton of Jackson, Mississippi has been indicted on Federal civil rights violations. It seems that in his zeal to curb drug crime, Melton forced some local youngsters at gunpoint to take a sledgehammer to a private residence that Melton claimed was a drug house.

Posted at 9:31am on Jul. 11, 2008 How Unions Demonize Opponents
By Warner Todd Huston
There is an interesting little report about a city Supervisor in Amherst, New York and how the city employee unions have demonized him since being elected as a reformer 2 years ago. It is an object lesson in how unions will demonize instead of work with anyone.
When Mohan took office 2 years ago as a reformer, he clearly specified that he wanted union contracts -- a huge financial burden for most municipalities -- retooled to pare back rich pay packages and fringe benefits.

Posted at 11:28pm on Jul. 10, 2008 Feminists Truly Hate Women
By Warner Todd Huston
On Sunday, July 13, in Jonesboro, Georgia, an immigrant Muslim father strangled his daughter to death in a so-called "honor killing" because she protested being forced by her family to marry a man she did not know. No feminist uttered a word about the murder of twenty-five-year-old Sandeela Kanwal. On the following Wednesday officials in the city government of Atlanta, Georgia bowed to the pressure from one feminist nut to stop posting "men at work" signs in the city because they are "sexist."

Posted at 9:16am on Jul. 10, 2008 Chgo Sun-Times: Violent White Men 'Not Held Accountable for Their Actions'
By Warner Todd Huston
Did you know that violent white men are never arrested for their actions? The Chicago Sun-Times' Mary Mitchell is sure of it, if you aren't. In another of her typically race baiting articles, Mitchell this time says that any time a white man is engaged in violent behavior, he is let off "to go on his merry way," never to be "held accountable" for his actions. Race monger Mitchell is sure of this, see, because she saw a traffic scuffle between two "old white guys" where no arrests were made by Chicago police.

Posted at 9:15am on Jul. 10, 2008 When Reporters Become the News We All Lose
By Warner Todd Huston
As the media systematically ignores the good news in Iraq, the AP instead turns to “reporting” on a “journalist’s” Iraq love tryst. Why we need to see a story of CBS' Lara Logan's romance troubles is anyone’s guess? But apparently the AP thinks that Lara Logan's love tryst with a married contractor in Iraq is "news" while the surge and the complete lack of any real civil war in Iraq is not.

Posted at 9:14am on Jul. 10, 2008 L.A. Outlaws Non-Union Truckers
By Warner Todd Huston
Pretending they are interested in "clean air," the kindly union bought folks in the Mayor's office in Los Angeles signed a new law that makes independent trucking basically illegal in the ports of L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa signed the law on the 26th that requires independent truckers to join trucking companies, and, therefore, the unions.

Posted at 3:02pm on Jul. 9, 2008 County Commish's Black Racist Tender Sensibilities Erupt in Texas
By Warner Todd Huston
There is always one guy in a bar spoiling for a fight and will take any movement or glance, any sound, any word as his excuse at bellicosity. In the race mongering biz the equivalent would be people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, both men who take immediate umbrage at the un-umbragable, just so that they can use the excuse to extort money out of businesses or get their mugs splashed across the papers and TV. In Dallas County the loudmouth looking for a fight is Commissioner John Wiley Price who foolishly decided that the scientific term "black hole" was a racial epithet and verbally attacked another commissioner for using it.

Posted at 3:20am on Jul. 9, 2008 Chgo Trib's 'Honor Killing' Report Omits Islam Connection
By Warner Todd Huston
OK, I am wondering here if the hanging of a black Southerner by the KKK in the American south would be reported by the Chicago Tribune in the same kind of vague language of “cultural” murder as a recent Muslim murder in Georgia was treated? More likely, of course, the story would be immediately pegged to the racist, white motives that actually led to the murder. In essence that is how the Chicago Tribune mishandled their reporting of another so-called Islamic "honor killing" that occurred in Georgia this week. They wrote about the "culturally rigid Pakistani" immigrants and said that "honor killings" occur with "other South Asians" without ever once mentioning that this is more often than not a Muslin practice. Instead of pegging this murder to Muslim "culture" the Tribune makes it a vague and nondescript "culture" so that the reader is unaware of the connection with Islam.

Posted at 11:49am on Jul. 2, 2008 A 'Silence of Feminists' Over Michelle Obama?
By Warner Todd Huston
Mary C. Curtis is in high dudgeon. She is all twisted up inside over the seeming lack of support that feminists have for Michelle Obama. She has decided to scold all those recalcitrant feminists, too. Yes, she's all upset over this thing wondering, "Where are Obama's feminist defenders?" Curtis is even moaning that black women are second-class citizens, even with feminists. She is all in righteous indignation about the "The Loud Silence Of Feminists."

Posted at 8:06pm on Jul. 1, 2008 Philly Inquirer Says No 4th For You, America is Evil, WOT is a 'Scam'
By Warner Todd Huston
You know, I was wondering when this was going to happen, when someone in the MSM would say Bush has ruined July Fourth? The Philadelphia Inquirer didn't disappoint by wallowing in the worst example of blame-America-above-all as well as the most extreme case of BDS that I've seen outside the kind of nutroot sites like Daily Kos and the Democratic Underground. A mainstream paper has now gone that extra mile to let us all know that America does not deserve a July Fourth celebration this year because of Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, CIA secret prisons, and, lest you imagine otherwise, the fact that we have made George W. Bush our president. "Cancel the parade" because America is evil. It's all there in all it's anti-American splendor in A not-so-glorious Fourth, U.S. atrocities are unworthy of our heritage.

Posted at 1:34pm on Jul. 1, 2008 CNN Finds NEW Way to Count Body Bags, Now in Afghanistan
By Warner Todd Huston
We've taken notice that Iraq is suddenly out of the news now that things are consistently going so well for U.S. forces there. Well, since CNN can't find much bad to talk about in Iraq they've finally found some "bad" news they can use as a needle to stick in the Bush Administration's collective eye. In Coalition troop deaths in Afghanistan surpass Iraq, CNN has discovered that they can make a body bag contest out of casualties between Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh, joy!

Posted at 11:13am on Jul. 1, 2008 CBS' Steve Hartman Has an Ugly Baby
By Warner Todd Huston
**Video Below the Fold**
Last week, with an "Assignment America" report on the CBS Evening News, Steve Hartman perpetrated a perfect example of why the media simply has no credibility on any subject, even humor. Hatrman’s report was not only dishonest, but missed the main point by a fair margin.

Posted at 9:56pm on Jun. 30, 2008 Gov't To tell You What Kids to Invite to Birthday Parties
By Warner Todd Huston
OK, now go read that headline again. There is no trick to it. I am saying that government is aggregating unto itself the power to tell you, a parent of an 8-year-old child, which of his school classmates he is allowed to invite to his birthday party. And government has decided that if your child doesn't invite every kid in his class, then he isn't allowed to invite any of them.

Posted at 11:46am on Jun. 30, 2008 Boston Globe: Obama Afraid of Muslims Because of New 'Red Scare'
By Warner Todd Huston
Derrick Z. Jackson of the Boston Globe has done it again. Now, usually Z is one of those columnists that is sure every white American is a racist and many of his columns are based on that assumption, but it looks like he is branching out from his normal black/white identity politics angle and adding a new twist to his column. You see, Z has just discovered that whites don't hate only blacks, they hate Muslims too. How inclusive, eh?

Posted at 11:45am on Jun. 30, 2008 Unions Says Public Has No Right to Know About State Payments to Unions
By Warner Todd Huston
What happened when the Evergreen Freedom Foundation decided to request the public government records of the negotiations between unions and government in Washington State? All hell broke loose, that's what.
The bloated public employee unions banded together to stop the public from finding out what went on between the government and the unions during the negotiations of state contracts -- that is contracts FUNDED by tax money, by the way -- for employee benefits and rules. They filed suit saying that the public had no right to know how their own tax money was to be spent.
