...HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT GLOBAL warming might cause sea levels to rise as much as three feet by the year 2100. With only a century to prepare, how will we ever survive such a catastrophe? Of course, that is the extreme worst-case scenario, so I may be overreacting. Perhaps I should just go back to worrying about overpopulation and rapacious development, which, if allowed to continue, will surely turn our battered planet into a toxic wasteland to which inundation would come as a blessing.

I would ask West and others who are similarly inclined to imagine what their reaction would be to the following scenario. Tomorrow, David Duke calls a march of one million white men to reaffirm the spirit of American Democracy (i.e. his own particular vision of "American Democracy"). In response, all sorts of prominent white intellectuals, such as Pat Buchanan, Pat Robertson and William F. Buckley Jr., come out of the woodwork and volunteer their oratorical services. When asked if they support Duke...
...believes that Malone saw the merger as an avenue to power. "Levin is now a puppet on Malone's strings. Malone is never going to be CEO of Time Warner. He'll probably never sit on the board. But he wanted to control Levin, and now he does." A scenario even has Malone divesting some cable interests, getting back his voting stock and making an all-out run for Time Warner...
