Walpin Jonah Goldberg The Corner The Corner's been a bit silent on the plight of Gerald Walpin, and that's a shame given how so much of the media has been, too. So far, the case reminds me so much of the Clinton travel-office scandal, where the Clintonites tried to cover-up their old-style crony machine politics tactics by accusing inconvenient-but-honorable staffers of criminality. The Obama machine seems to be going with a more Soviet style approach and accusing Walpin of being mentally incompetent merely because he's politically inconvenient. Of course, maybe he is a bit senile, but I've seen no evidence of that in his numerous interviews or when he took the mental acuity test on Beck last night. And, even if he is, Obama broke the rules in how he fired him and broke basic decency too. Of course ITWB ("If This Were Bush"), the lefty blogs would be disemboweling themselves in rage. Meanwhile, the story has legs. corner.nationalreview.com

True...but these people reformed themselves. This fellow Forrest went on to even more bigotry after the civil war. How so? Jefferson maintained his slaves for his entire life, and in fact, when he finally did divest himself, he did so by SELLING the slaves, not by freeing them. Here's a weekend project for you since you have nothing to do. Set your camera to put the date/time on your photos then go out and take a picture of every confederate flag you see, then come back here and post them. Since they're everywhere, you should be able to find 10, 20, or more over the course of a weekend.
