…of Widener Law School.
I think this should be a capital offense (i.e., the school should go out of business).

If The Tea Party Is To Blame For The Downgrade
We Have A New Bumper Sticker
I’m guessing there will be a lot of these sold in the upcoming campaign.
The Heroes Of WW II
…continue to pass from our presence. Nancy Wake has died at ninety-eight:
Working as a newspaper reporter, Wake found herself in Vienna where she saw Jews being whipped in public by Nazi SS troops. In 2003, she described to News Limited’s then-London correspondent, Bruce Wilson, one of the horrors she witnessed in 1938.
“The Germans and Austrians had set up a kind of Catherine wheel and tied these Jews to it, and as it went around they were beating them and throwing things at them,” she said.
“I thought . . . what had they done, poor bastards? Nothing. So I said, ‘God almighty, it’s a bit much and I’ve got to do something about it’.”
It’s an amazing story. There should be another movie made about her, to reacquaint younger people with her exploits.
“It Tanked While He Talked”
The abysmal results of President Downgrade’s latest campaign speech. Of course, apologists will say that it would have dropped a thousand points if he hadn’t given the speech. Aren’t counterfactuals fun?
[Update a few minutes later]
Barack Obama’s horrifyingly bad speech. Only fifteen months to go.
Sometimes It’s Just Too Simple
Scientists discover possible cause of the current heat wave:
“Our measurements indicate the massive amount of energy this thing gives off is able to travel 93 million miles and reach our planet is as little as eight and a half minutes,” said Professor Mitch Kivens, an astronomer at the California Institute of Technology. “While we can’t see them, we’re fairly certain these infrared rays strike Earth’s surface, become trapped by the atmosphere, and just heat everything up like a great big oven.”
“We originally thought that if this star was producing temperatures of 100-plus in the South and Midwest, it must be at least 100 degrees itself,” Kivens added. “But it turns out it’s far, far hotter than that, with a surface temperature of nearly 10,900 degrees Fahrenheit.”
Kivens and his CalTech colleagues said this intense radiation, which results from constant nuclear reactions converting hydrogen to helium in the star’s core, could also account for why the orb in the sky is extremely bright and difficult to stare at directly.
Remember, correlation is not causation.
But Don’t Call Him A Fascist
Michael Moore says that the president should arrest the head of Standard and Poors. Well, at least he’s not blaming the Tea Party.
Happy Tenth Bloggiversary
Mine will be coming up this fall (though I’m not sure of the exact date, because my very earliest posts were lost in one of my blogging software updates).
The Massive Failure
…of the Great Society, and the taboo on discussion of race when it’s politically incorrect.
The City Of Angels
It’s what inevitably happens when Democrats run a place long enough. And unfortunately, it’s a microcosm of the state itself (and the country at large if we don’t vote out more of the leeches next year).
