...Wanda Webb Holloway may be the ultimate stage mother. Last week a Houston jury found the 37-year-old suburban housewife guilty of concocting a bizarre scheme to assure her daughter Shanna a place on the high school freshman cheerleading squad by killing the mother of her chief rival, Amber Heath. With flawed but cold-blooded logic, Holloway concluded that Amber would be too distraught over her mother's death to compete against Shanna for the coveted position...
...Espy, cutting patterns in the air with powerful hands. "Blacks turned to the North and West for promises that were largely unfulfilled. They are coming home." The mayor's brother, Mike Espy, is Congressman for 22 counties in the heart of the Delta. He was elected in 1986 -- over Webb Franklin, a white lawyer -- with the support of only 15% of the white voters. Last year he got 70% of the white vote...

Conversely, Webb is not representative of some insidious, speech-suppressing anti-PC movement. Selvaratnam and Webb are extremists. They represent no one but themselves. Reasonable conservatives (It's true! They exist! And we admit it!) do not automatically dismiss opposing positions as mere "PC bullshit" without giving them a fair hearing. Reasonable liberals do not throw around irresponsible, trumped-up charges of racism, sexism, homophobia, "ageism," "ableism," imperialism, militarism, "Eurocentrism" or "phallocentrism...
