Often when a politician campaigns for an important post, he promotes a book about his life. And almost always that book is ghost written.

I compared the partial transcripts of his interview with O’Donnell, with an extract from the book discussed by O’Donnell. They are similar in style. Likely the book was edited by a white editor, because most English language books are edited by a white editor, but if so that editor did not do enough editing to change the style or vocabulary much.  If it is ghost written, the ghost limited himself to transcribing large chunks of Cain’s own words.

Andrew Bolt was convicted for impugning various people by accusing them of being white, merely because they and their parents on both sides were physically and culturally white.  This (calling people white) has been declared to be a racist insult.

Having created special privileges for black people, many of our ruling elite naturally declared themselves to be of the privileged caste, though few of them have ever been close enough to an actual black to spit on them, nor would they send their children to a school where there was any danger of any substantial number of actual blacks attending .  To doubt their entitlement is clearly a racist insult, which must be punished.

Anita Heiss is as white as I am, has never lived anywhere that any significant number of blacks lived, and would never lower herself to live anywhere that any significant number of blacks lived.

“What if” is a right wing/libertarian blog.  Yet strangely, is incapable of seeing evil – when evil is on the left.

When however alleged evil is on the right, has not the slightest difficulty in seeing evil.

Those who kiss upwards, can usually be relied on to spit downwards. (more…)

Palin’s poll numbers are shooting up.

Although her speech on crony capitalism seemed to go right over the audience’s heads, since then the party faithful have been banging away on message, and it looks like it is penetrating.  Zombie’s cartoon should explain crony capitalism to anyone.

Maybe democracy can work against crony capitalism.  Democracy tends to self destruct in massive vote buying, as tax consumers outnumber taxpayers, but should not self destruct in influence peddling, which is more a problem with Royal Courts.  After the message has been repeated one thousand more times, probably will get through.
