  • You’re ‘torn’? She’s your mother, dammit!

    Throw momma off the train! We don’t think it’s a parody. A New York Times Magazine feature called “The Ethicist” is an advice column but in place of Dear Aunt Blabby the thing is adjudicated by a philosophy professor with the appropriately diverse, inclusive, and equitable name of Kwame Anthony Appiah.   Seeking the professor’s…

  • NY Times buries DEI

    ‘Nobody teaches Huck Finn anymore‘ It is over for diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Paul Fanlund congratulates himself for “extending an olive branch to conservative…

  • Madison city managers taught that MAGA is racist

    Blaska Policy Werkes is 94.5% effective. Job security, a decent pension, no heavy lifting. Nevertheless, we do pity managers at Madison city hall. For they must kowtow to the progressive party line, lest they incur the displeasure of Mayor Satya’s Brave New World. To assure correct thinking, city managers are forced to endure hours of…
