...think, not what to think,” is a laudable one—yet his sponsoring of such “truth-revealing” (which are ultimately more like hate-spreading) conferences like Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week on campuses across the nation reveals the ulterior motive therein. The call for political neutrality in academia is clearly misinformed and ultimately misguided. First and foremost, the political leanings of professors are poor litmus tests for their intellect, pedagogical aptitude, or enthusiasm for teaching—all of which are more important considerations in the hiring of professors and the development...
...Counter went back to the old smearing in the pages of the Black Collegian, promoting not understanding, but resentment. Therein he praises the descendents of American slaves, a “special race,” he says, for almost single-handedly advancing American social justice in the 20th century while other minority groups, who had been complicit in white supremacy, were merely mooching off their affirmative action benefits. Overlooking historical discrimination against them, he contends that Asians were “designated as ‘honorary Whites’ in order that they might also own Black-skinned...
...Therein lies the potential problem with the OneSeason concept. The market is totally dependent on the fluctuating passions of a group of people willing to play a game.

By subsidizing insurance premiums for buildings in areas at high risk for destruction, the initiative has increased development in flood-prone areas, therein exacerbating the damage reeked by seasonal hurricanes. Getting FEMA back on track necessitates the political will to make disaster relief a priority and the funds to deliver on government promises. Fiscal backing will be needed to revitalize the preparedness arm of the organization, to strengthen national response teams, and to entice...
...gained the most from this deal? The big beneficiaries were the owners of the $5.3 trillion in Fannie and Freddie bonds and MBSS. Therein lies a fascinating, and disturbing, story. For years, the governments of countries that have run big trade surpluses with the U.S.--mainly Japan, China and the oil exporters--put their excess dollars into Treasury securities. When budget surpluses from 1998 to 2001 began to shrink the supply of Treasuries, foreign governments looked to Fannie and Freddie debt as an alternative. When the U.S. returned to deficits in 2002, they kept buying Frannie debt because it paid...
