Okay. Let's Not Talk About Guns

Peter Greene at CURMUDGUCATION - 12 hours ago
I know there are earlier examples, but it really starts for me with Jody Billingsley. Jody was one of my former students, part of a class of students that I really enjoyed for their spark, their joy, their bravery, their curiosity.

It was 2009, so nobody was talking about InCels yet, but this guy (I'm not printing the son of a bitch's name) fit the descript... more »

The first came from Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, under heavy fire from the European Union for undermining the rule of law (by, among many other things, limiting the power of his country’s Constitutional Court and manipulating the judicia... more »
