Seriously, WTF is wrong with Oberlin College's administration?
And why, knowing that the administration is demonstrably a bunch of ass-hats, would anyone send their children there? The latest: Oberlin has been clutching onto a drawing that was stolen from a Jewish collector and Holocaust victim by the Nazis for SEVENTEEN years after knowing its provenance.

A tale of two schools
I mentioned in a different post, the walk-out of students in Pennsylvania regarding a policy passed by the school board that allowed students to use the locker rooms and restrooms of their stated gender. Well, that school district has reversed their policy because of that protest. Interestingly enough, the vote was 5-4 (the same as… Continue reading

Fun Movie Friday–Young Frankenstein

Another example of how science has been infected by definition-shifting
Anthropology is the latest victim. You’d think that it would be pretty simple (of course I’m an expert because I’ve watched every episode of ‘Bones’). But really, there are clear physical differences between male and female skeletons. And if a person is trying to identify a body, those differences is where they would start. But… Continue reading

The age old trick of getting out of any test
The Dems had an ultimate test on Saturday when it came down to the continuing resolution in the House of Representatives yesterday. They didn’t want to have to step up for the good of the country–they wanted their toys and their money-laundering via the Ukraine pipeline. So they went to the fallback of any child… Continue reading
