The February edition will celebrate Black History Month with an all-out assault on affirmative action. Says U.C. Berkeley political science professor Bruce Cain: "The right...
...spent a shocking amount of time talking about John Walker Lindh and using the word traitor for the first time since the school play in which Peter Brady had to be Benedict Arnold. After 8,000 MSNBC hours of everyone's agreeing that fighting for the Taliban against the U.S. is wrong, the deepest thought anyone came up with was the 40-year-old tautology that Marin County parents are wackjobs...
