Hilarious! "Gene Expression" have up a post on Jared Diamond, the biologist who claims that race is a myth and that there is no genetic difference between the Western European whites who created the modern world and anybody else. All those "dead white males" did so well purely by accident, apparently. The "Gene Expression" post however reprints one of Diamond's scientific papers from the days before he had hopped onto the politically correct bandwagon -- a paper in which Diamond shows important inherited differences between the races! That blogospheric fact-checking sure is pesky for frauds!

My controversy with Jason Soon continues over at Majority Rights. Great fun! Jason does seem to be a bit of a dipstick. Maybe he should be renamed Jason Late! I see that he has however deleted his original defamatory post so I guess I have had a victory in the midst of having fun! Taking me on in my own area of academic specialization (political psychology) was certainly not wise of him.

A step forward: "The Bush administration is focusing on a Social Security proposal that would allow younger workers to invest up to 4 percent of their payroll taxes in private accounts, with contributions limited to about $1,000 to $1,300 a year, an official said Tuesday." [Australia has been doing much the same sort of thing for years, of course, only on a rather bigger scale]

A good article here on how the aging population problem is going to hit Europe a lot harder than the USA.

David Limbaugh: "When you look at the Left's rush to judgment against the Bush administration for not reacting precisely according to its expectations (demands) concerning the tsunami disaster, you just have to wonder what kind of psychological forces motivate this group. It's instructive that the very people who constantly call for a spirit of collegiality and bipartisanship have somehow managed to politicize the most apolitical of all events.... one is entitled to question whether people are truly motivated by compassion when they feel the need to conspicuously parade their philanthropy like an obscene badge of self-congratulatory honor."

Tom Barrett has a pretty good coverage and refutation of the lies and deceit coming from Leftists about the tsunami relief operation.

An Iraqi speaks up about how un-humanitarian are the so-called "humanitarians" of the Western Left in Iraq.

More evidence of heavy Leftist bias among journalists here

The latest posting on MarxWords shows that, like modern-day Leftist elitists, Engels thought that country people (the "Rednecks" of his day) were stupid.

That power only, not principles, is what matters to Leftists is perfectly shown by the Kerry campaign. They put up a man whose policies seemed to be 99% the same as George Bush's even though the Left have previously disagreed violently with those policies. "Whatever it takes" is their rule.

Leftists are phonies. For most of them all that they want is to sound good. They don't care about doing good. That's why they do so much harm. They don't really care what the results of their policies are as long as they are seen as having good intentions.
