“…Offensive, Like We’re In Africa”
Having to prove you’re black, in Detroit. By any sane reading of the 14th Amendment, all of this is not just absurd, but unconstitutional.

Occupy’s totalitarian temptation. It’s what Leftists do.

Jonah Goldberg takes on Chris Mooney.
A Beautiful Mind

The Crucifier
…has resigned. But the damage has been done:
EPA was finally persuaded to drop its action against Range, probably out of concern that a federal court might strike down its statutory authority to crucify oil-and-gas companies altogether. That was wise, because EPA already got what it wanted from persecuting Range. The company had to spend $4.2 million defending itself against a totally arbitrary action that could have come down on virtually any oil or gas company. And the industry has taken note.
In fact, as a demonstration meant to instill fear in the oil-and-gas industry, the crucifixion of Range Resources worked precisely as Armendariz intended.
There has to be some kind of legal recourse against this kind of arbitrary action.

Climate Changing
You couldn’t make this stuff up.
Seventeen Equations
…that changed the world. One of the signs of the disaster that is modern academia is that it is not only acceptable, but for many a point of pride, that they don’t understand math.
