...Republican leaders and their apologists tend to go into a frenzy of denial when members of the liberal media cabal bring up these inconvenient facts. It's that lack of candor, of course, that presents the biggest obstacle to George W. Bush's commendable and long overdue campaign to persuade more African-Americans to defect from the Democrats to the Republicans. It's doomed to fail until the GOP fesses up its past addiction to race-baiting, and makes a sincere attempt to kick the habit...

The Freshman Dean’s Office rules the Yard with an iron fist. No students served...
Move over Fox Mulder, here comes Thierry Meyssan. Like the unrelenting FBI hero of the popular X Files TV series, Meyssan is a player in the conspiracy business. But in contrast to the fictional Mulder's sympathetic crusades - one geek's quest to combat a farcical cabal of sociopathic humans and the world-conquering extraterrestrials they serve - Meyssan's campaign has attracted audiences with a singularly despicable suggestion: that the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 were carried out by U.S. government officials as part of a murderous economic and military plot...
