My reader David recently sent me the good news, for which I thank him.

Anne Pressly, before she encountered Curtis Lavelle Vance

“LITTLE ROCK — A jury on Wednesday found Curtis Lavelle Vance guilty on all counts in the death of anchorwoman Anne Pressly. Jurors took just a few hours to decide the Marianna man’s guilt.
Vance, 29, was found guilty to capital murder, rape and burglary charges in an Oct. 20, 2008, attack so brutal that Pressly’s mother didn’t recognize her when she rushed to the anchorwoman’s aid.
The court went directly into the penalty phase….
In closing arguments at the trial of the man charged with killing Pressly, a prosecutor described the suspect as ‘someone who makes dogs bark at night.’
‘He made this person look like this,’ deputy prosecutor John Johnson said, holding up a KATV publicity shot and a photograph taken during Pressly’s autopsy. A medical examiner had testified Tuesday that the front of Pressly’s face was broken ‘like an egg.’
Pressly was attacked at her home Oct. 20, 2008, and died five days later. Police say DNA evidence linked Vance to the crime scene.
On a tape played for jurors Monday, Vance told a police detective that he beat Pressly with a piece of wood that he found in her backyard — but never explained why. ‘I lose control, she lose control,” Vance said in the February interview.’”
[Vance found guilty on all counts by Arkansas Online Press Services, November 11, 2009.]

Vance’s defense attorney, Teri Chambers insisted, “This evidence means nothing. You cannot base a conviction on it.”

David reports that the jury took only two hours to return guilty verdicts. Such decisiveness in the verdict phase notwithstanding, considering that four jurors are black women, I rate Vance as having a zero percent likelihood of getting the death penalty, but hope that the jury will surprise me.

The racist rapist-murderer

Contrary to initial reports, the Fort Hood shooter, Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, is alive. He was shot by a civilian police officer, Kimberly Munley, whom he wounded. Officer Munley is reportedly “in stable condition.” Depending on reports, Akbar is in stable condition or on a ventilator. He was caught on a store video at 6: 20 a.m. yesterday in traditional Moslem garb. You know what that means: The mass murder had nothing to do with Islam!

Already, officials are feverishly coming up with Bizarro World, non-Islamic explanations for the mass murder. Hasan was reportedly distraught about being deployed to Afghanistan, and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, based on the stories his combat veteran patients had told him. Never mind that, as James Fulford pointed out, you can’t get PTSD without “without actual trauma.”

Of course, Hasan was upset… because he’s a Moslem!

A military mental health doctor facing deployment overseas opened fire at the Fort Hood Army post on Thursday, setting off on a rampage that killed 12 [N.S.: in the meantime, 13] people and left 31 [30] wounded, Army officials said.

Authorities said immediately after the shootings that they had killed the suspected shooter, but later in the evening they recanted and said that he was alive and in stable condition at a hospital, watched by a guard.

“His death is not imminent,” said Lt. Gen. Bob Cone at Fort Hood. He offered little explanation for the mistake, other than to say there was confusion at the hospital.

A law enforcement official identified the shooting suspect as Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

The violence was believed to be the worst mass shooting in history at a U.S. military base.

The shooting began around 1:30 p.m., when shots were fired at the base’s Soldier Readiness Center, where soldiers who are about to be deployed or who are returning undergo medical screening, Cone said.

[Army: Fort Hood shooting rampage suspect is alive by April Castro and Devlin Barrett, AP/San Francisco Chronicle, November 5, 2009, 18:38 PST.]

Initial reports said that there were three shooters. Later reports stated that there was only one shooter, and that the other two men had been released, only to be superseded by reports saying that three men are in custody. Now, we are being told that Hasan was a “lone shooter.” In other words, no one outside of the top echelons of the military police currently knows what the situation is.

In this morning’s New York Times news blog, there is nothing about three shooters, but the following 8:38 a.m. update has Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan “Allahu Akbar!” (“Allah is great!”) while shooting people.

“Update | 8:38 a.m. In an interview with Matt Lauer on NBC Friday morning, Gen. Robert Cone, the Fort Hood commander, said that Major Hasan is in stable condition but has not yet been interrogated. Mr. Lauer said that a relative of one of the witnesses to the shooting said that Major Hasan shouted ‘Allahu akbar’ (’God is great’) during the rampage. Gen. Cone said that ‘there are first-hand accounts here from soldiers that are similar to that.’

On Tuesday, police arrested a seventh suspect in the over two-hour long, October 24^th gang-rape of a 15-year-old girl outside of the Richmond (CA) High School homecoming dance.

“Authorities took a 21-year-old man into custody around 7 a.m. this morning….

Officials say a group of as many as ten people beat and raped the girl for more than two hours while others watched.

The man is being held on one-point-two-five-million dollars bond and will face rape, sexual battery and penetration with a foreign object.”

This afternoon, a Knox County (Tennessee) jury sentenced Lemaricus Davidson, now 28, to death for kidnapping, torturing, and murdering Channon Christian, 21, and her boyfriend Christopher Newsom, 23, on January 7, 2007.

“The jury of five women and seven men deliberated about four hours before returning its decision to a packed courtroom….

‘The punishment is death,’ the jury foreman said.

The victims’ families gasped at the verdict, but Davidson showed no reaction….

‘The murder was especially heinous, atrocious and cruel,’ the foreman said, reading from the verdict form for Newsom….

The jurors this morning heard closing arguments in the penalty phase of this 11-day trial before getting a final round of legal instructions from Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner.

Prosecutor Takisha Fitzgerald told jurors Davidson killed Christian [and Newsom] … to save his own neck.

“The only thing Chris had left was the knowledge of who his attacker was,” Fitzgerald said. “(Davidson) took everything else. The only thing (Channon) had left was the knowledge of who her attacker was.”

Defense attorney Doug Trant asked jurors to spare Davidson’s life, noting the abuse he suffered and the foster parents who still love him….

The jury, chosen from Knox County at Davidson’s insistence, considered death by lethal injection, life without parole or life, a mandatory 51-year sentence.”

[Torture-slaying sentence: Death for Davidson by Jamie Satterfield, Knoxville News Sentinel, October 30, 2009.]

The jury resisted attempts by Judge Baumgartner to induce it to impose a less severe sentence.

Look for more on the trial later in an exclusive VDARE.COM report.

On Wednesday morning, the jurors in the second Knoxville Horror murder trial convicted “alleged ringleader” Lemaricus Davidson, aka “Slim,” of 35 out of 38 state felony charges, including of murdering Channon Christian, 21, and her boyfriend, Christopher Newsom, 23, of kidnapping both victims, robbery, repeatedly vaginally and anally raping Christian, and of facilitation in the gang-rape of Newsom. It could not be proven that Davidson had actually raped Newsom, a crime which was apparently committed with an object.

The penalty phase, in which Davidson is eligible for the death penalty, begins today.

Davidson’s attorneys had sought—with the help of incredible, “never-before-heard” testimony by a friend of Davidson’s, Ethel Lynn Freeman, which contradicted testimony she had given in the two previous trials—to portray the victims as druggies who had voluntarily gone to the house on Chipman Street, where Channon Christian’s tortured corpse would later be found, seeking drugs, and that Christian had voluntarily had vaginal sex with Davidson. The jury did not buy the incredible story.

Reader “D,” who has functioned as my unofficial research assistant on this case wrote,

“Before the guilty verdict today, Gary Christian, Channon’s father held a press conference. A video is on the right side of the page. He blasted the legal system for allowing his daughter to be slandered on no evidence. He said, ‘I don’t care who you are…anybody insinuate that my daughter was down there buying drugs, was doing drugs, all that crap, look for a lawsuit.’

Also, ‘And that Channon Christian may have had consensual sex with that animal, over my dead body. The next person that says out of their mouth that my daughter had consensual sex with him, ain’t got but one person in this world to deal with and that’s me, over my dead body.’

I’m sure you are aware of the guilty verdict today in the second Knoxville Horror trial. Davidson went down on all the main counts. Most important, BOTH murders, unlike the Cobbins trial.

At least in the guilt phase, the attempt to say that Channon Christian and Chris Newsom went to East Knoxville to buy drugs was afailure. The defense also kept inferring that Channon had ‘consensual sex’ with Davidson. They never left that theme.

Tomorrow they have the penalty phase. There is another set (if not the same ones) of weeping relatives from Memphis ready to cry for Davidson tomorrow. Will the judge affirm a death sentence if the jury hands it down? How fast will the appeal come?”

For better or worse, one cannot sue for slander on behalf of the dead.

DNA testing showed that Channon Christian’s underwear contained sperm from two men that did not match any of the men charged in this atrocity, or her boyfriend, Chris Newsom. (None of the sperm found in her vagina and anus matched Newsom, either.) Ergo, in addition to the many as yet uncharged admitted accessories in this atrocity, there are likely at least two additional rapists and possible murderers.

In April 2008, Eric Boyd was convicted in a federal trial as an accessory after the fact to the carjacking, and sentenced to 18 years in prison. Boyd is presently appealing his conviction.

In August, Davidson’s half-brother, Letalvis Cobbins, aka “Rome,” was convicted on 33 out of 38 state felony charges, including the aggravated rape and murder of Channon Christian, and sentenced to life without parole.

Co-defendant George Thomas’ trial is scheduled to begin on December 1, while co-defendant Vanessa Coleman continues her fight to get the charges against her dropped.

During one recent 24-hour stretch, three separate readers, led by “D” (who for all intents and purposes, functions as my research assistant on this case—thanks also to Jun and “SH”), sent along a link to a Daily Mail article that discusses the Knoxville Horror, for the first time, on the other side of the pond.

The good news: Brits are hearing about the case, and the headline makes clear what is at stake: “Is political correctness to blame for lack of coverage of horrific black-on-white killings in America’s deep [sic] south?” The bad news: The Daily Mail writer, David Gardner, has largely cut and paste without attribution from a May 18, 2007 article by AP propaganda officer Duncan Mansfield.

Back in the spring of 2007, the Internet was afire with rumors that the gang rapist-torturer-killers had sexually mutilated Christian and Newsom, cutting off one or both of her breasts, and lopping off his penis, while both victims were still alive; and with attacks on the national MSM, for the latter’s refusal to cover the case. In the course of researching my first report on the case, in early 2007, I was able to trace the sexual mutilation rumors back to white supremacist/neo-Nazi/FBI agent provocateur Hal Turner. Meanwhile, the AP tasked Duncan Mansfield with discrediting the MSM’s critics as “white supremacists.” As a sop to “balance,” Mansfield also cited “mainstream conservatives” and country singer Charlie Daniels.

One might question the significance of such an article, almost three years after the initial crime. [Peter Brimelow: No, it’s significant that the Daily Mail is focusing on MSM censorship. It’s not an allegation you usually see in major newspapers.]

Granted, that a British paper would report at all on the case, rather than ignore it or let it be forgotten, as most of the American MSM have done, is a positive. The best paragraph in the Daily Mail article that isn’t a cut-and-paste, I believe, is this one:

“Ironically, the case has now generated more publicity surrounding the furore over whether or not political correctness was behind the US media’s decision to largely ignore the story than it did for the murders themselves.”

[Is political correctness to blame for lack of coverage over horrific black-on-white killings in America's Deep South? by David Gardner, Daily Mail, October 16, 2009.]

The above-quoted paragraph and the title notwithstanding, much of the article is devoted to quoting authorities’ insistence from Mansfield’s 2007 article, that the atrocity was not racially motivated. And yet, most British readers take such knee-jerk proclamations with a grain of salt. Racial socialism is, if anything, even more deeply institutionalized in British life—what’s left of it—than in America, and racist assaults on Englishmen by black and Pakistani immigrants and their children are a daily occurrence, as are the denial of the obvious by the media and the courts, and the latter’s powder puff justice in such cases. As many of the Daily Mail reader comments show, Englishmen simply read through the pc coding of such articles to the underlying, racist reality.

“It is exactly the same over here. Scenario 1) white youths beat up Asian, race crime and all over the press. Scenario 2) Asian youths beat up white youth, by-line in local rag with mention from local police saying no evidence of any race crime.”

“There is no point expressing how I feel when I read this, any person who is able to show a shred of human emotion will feel the exact same feeling reading the details.
The one comment I really hate is when the County Sheriff said ‘they were two kids in the wrong place at the wrong time’. No, no they were not. They were two people on a date, minding their own business, it was no wrong time. It is a patronising excuse for such a tragic waste of life. People with that mentality to inflict such evil are not fit to walk amongst the rest of us….
Evil is not race specific-but I am annoyed it took the issue of race for this to surface.”

“This is no different to what the BBC does. Frequently they do not give a description of suspects or carry a photograph (when other media sources do) when the crime involves non-white suspects.

It is apparently an official policy to ensure ‘diversity and social cohesion’. Read all about it on the Biased-BBC blog.

Perhaps hushing up crimes that dont show multiculturalism in a good light will make them go away”

- Alan, Reading, 16/10/2009 7:14

The following comment applies to the Republican/neoconservative attitude in general:

“Believe it or not, this case is one of the more mundane involving black on white violence. And of course it’s not reported because of political correctness and a fear of what white populations would do if they knew the truth. I could write so much more here but the DM [Daily Mail], despite highlighting the evils of political correctness, wouldn’t print it for reasons of political correctness. The DM is the arch-expert in leading it’s readers to water but never letting them drink..”

Two million Americans per year visit Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania, where the bloodiest battle of the Civil War was fought in 1863, in order to learn about the “Civil Rights” movement, right? And the most important scientific knowledge for the park rangers responsible for California’s Sequoia National Park is “climate change,” right?

The National Park Service has a new director, Jon Jarvis, a new direction and, as breathlessly regurgitated by L.A. Times “reporter,” Julie Cart, new talking points. It is being Obamatized.

Millions of overwhelmingly white Americans visit our national parks every year, two million at Gettysburg alone, where in America’s bloodiest conflict, Union and Confederate forces suffered a combined 48,000-51,000 casualties. They visit to “get away from it all”, to get in touch with the real America, down to her rocks and soil, and to hear mystic chords of memory.

“It” is non-stop urbanization and sprawl, due to our elites’ illegal, nation-killing open borders policy. “It” is black and Hispanic racism, crime, and violence. “It” is the obscene blaring of rap, and the sound of Spanish—and bad Spanish, at that. “It” is diversity training 24/7, at work and even while watching TV at home.

Jon Jarvis sees his mission as bringing “it” to our nation’s parks, which are almost entirely paid for by her white citizens, implanting “it” there, and cutting those chords. He is doing everything possible to pander to hostile blacks and Hispanics, even in Spanish, and to make white Americans’ visits as unpleasant as possible. His park rangers promote the pseudo-science of “climate change” (PDF; formerly known as “global warming”), and at Gettysburg, rant about not only slavery, but the so-called civil rights movement, which would only arise 90 years after the battle was fought.

The Park Service has shut down its Gettysburg Web page—for ideological redesign, perchance?—but its cache can momentarily still be viewed here.

“‘I’m not the least bit afraid of controversy in the work that we do,’ Jarvis said. ‘We’re pretty good at this. It’s our job to tell the story and without embellishment [!], to tell it as truthfully as possible [!]. Based on the historical side, scholarly work; and on the natural side, scientific work. That’s going to be the basis for our interpretation and we shouldn’t shy away from it.

One change Jarvis says he’ll institute is to put park rangers back in classrooms. When Gale Norton was Interior secretary, she stopped that long tradition, saying it represented “mission creep.”

Rangers’ storytelling — called “interpretation” in the park service — will also shift. Jarvis said that rangers at Civil War battlefields now spend less time telling visitors where the Confederate and Union armies lined up for Pickett’s charge and more time discussing slavery and civil rights. Those issues are more relevant to today’s society, he said. [NS—which society is he talking about; the one that exists, or the one he’s trying to replace it with?]

The role of the parks, Jarvis said, is to continue to tell the American story. He said that a group of military lawyers recently toured historic Japanese internment camps, to try to get a look at ‘how the current internment of American citizens will appear in history,’ he said.” [By “current internment of American citizens,” who is he talking about? Terrorists? Illegal aliens? Black felons?]

[New park service chief sees 'convergence' by Julie Cart, Los Angeles Times, October 5, 2009.]

Why in heck would a family go to the expense and trouble to spend their vacation driving to and from Gettysburg, if the rangers refuse to talk about Gettysburg? How is Gettysburg irrelevant to Gettysburg? And why should the predominantly white taxpayers support a racist, anti-American National Park Service?

To paraphrase Nathan Glazer, the Park Service has gone from doing what government does well—protecting and maintaining our natural, national treasures and history—to turning into two-bit demagogues and pseudo-scientists, while surrendering our parks to Mexican narcoterrorists, who have turned huge swathes of them into illegal marijuana farms that are ecological disaster zones ruled by heavily armed, illegal alien gang-bangers.

But Julie Cart’s only mention of arms was regarding Jarvis’ concern over American citizens legally bearing loaded arms in the parks, as per a new law. She and Jarvis showed similar concern over the “problem” of Evangelical Christians having non-Darwinian interpretations of the age of the Grand Canyon. Now, those are clearly dangerous people!

If you’re writing a news story about thousands of laid-off educators—27,000 in California alone—what do you then abruptly begin talking about in the same article? Why, the need for spending millions of tax dollars, in order to encourage people to go into teaching, natch.

(Hey, the millions in graft are the idea of the Nobel Prize-winning John Doe calling himself “Barack Obama,” so it’s got to be brilliant! And for those of you who demur, what are you, a bunch of racists?!)

The story is, “An education problem looms: In a time of layoffs, the state hopes to inspire a new generation of educators,” by L.A. Times uninvestigative reporter, Seema Mehta.

Remember that name! That lady is going places.

Granted, Mehta gave the story a pretext to give it a wisp of plausibility: 55,000 California teachers could retire over the next seven years. Thus, we need to support “Obama’s” plan to spend 30 million taxpayer dollars, in order to entice people into spending up to six of the best years of their lives, and possibly $280,000 (2009 dollars), in order to get teaching degrees.

Mehta: “The state is facing a looming teacher shortage as baby boomers reach retirement age and fewer young people are expected to enter the field.”

Shortage shouting, even in the teaching biz? Paging Rob Sanchez!

Mehta’s story lurches back and forth between propagandists’ calls for hiring more teachers, and individual sob stories profiling laid-off teachers. (Unlike with illegal alien sob stories, however, these stories are legit, but Mehta refuses to put them in context.)

“The Obama administration has requested $30 million for a national campaign that focuses on young adults and mid-career professionals and on such high-need areas as science and math. In addition to reaching out to potential teachers, the U.S. Department of Education hopes to improve training programs. President Obama and U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan plan to hold events in the fall highlighting the importance of teaching to the nation’s future.

“It’s a noble profession. In many other countries, children do aspire to be teachers, and they are regarded as some of the most important people in society,” said John White, the education department spokesman. “That’s what we need to do, so that we not only replace the teachers who are retiring but bring the most talented people to the field. . . . We need them to aspire to be the next generation of teachers.”

The California Teacher Corps was formed earlier this year, with the goal of placing 100,000 new teachers into classrooms over the next decade. The organization focuses on recruiting professionals who are changing careers.”

First of all, the numbers don’t jibe. As many as 55,000 California teachers retiring over the next seven years, extrapolates to as many as 78,570 over the next ten years, not 100,000.

But the numbers could be made to jibe. If the 55,000 retirement figure is in the ballpark, California likely will need at least 100,000 new teachers over the next ten years, due to the 800-pound gorilla in the room, which Mehta never mentions—immigration.

However, the same immigration that continually drives the need for new teachers, guarantees that there is ever less money to pay for them, as poor, unskilled, illiterate aliens—legal and illegal—drive out what is left of the state’s educated, skilled, American tax base.

Mehta never asks why highly educated, middle-aged professionals, or “the most talented people” would want to undertake the expense, time, and risk of studying to become teachers, when there is no guarantee of a job, and the California Department of Education is run by racist State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell, who claims that white teachers are at fault for the black-white achievement gap.

Meanwhile, in the name of “diversity,” O’Connell welcomes incompetent black and Hispanic teacher candidates.

Mehta also never cites critics of the politicized, anti-intellectual, and expensive credentialing process, which entails an unconstitutional, political litmus test, and which exists to protect the jobs and power of racial socialist teacher ed professors, and to put off millions of talented, highly educated people, particularly from fields such as math, science, and engineering, who would be assets in the classroom. Want to attract more talented teacher candidates? Then throw out teacher ed (i.e., propaganda)-based, as opposed to discipline-based credentialing.

Conversely, when Mehta cites “Obama’s” purported plan to “improve training programs,” if we look at the track record of “Obama” and his terrorist partner, Bill Ayers, in wasting $159 million in Chicago Annenberg Challenge money, such “improvement” will mean further politicization and anti-intellectualism, which will further drive away “the most talented people.”

“Obama” wants to con (white) people into wasting their lives, and taking on debt that they may never be able to repay, chasing a chimera.

Perhaps most importantly, Mehta never mentions that many of the same California school districts laying off American teachers have for years been busily importing Filipinos and Mexicans under H1-B, non-immigrant visas. However, when those “non-immigrant” visas run out, the “non-immigrants” are not going anywhere.

And those districts will still find the money, with which to hire incompetent, racist, blacks and Hispanics.

Going back to the Clinton administration, the majority of the occupations projected for the greatest growth have been in “non-tradable domestic services”, like retail salesman, truck driver, waitress, nurse aide and home health aide (and those jobs are increasingly going to blacks and aliens).

In May 2004, economist Paul Craig Roberts asked rhetorically,

“Why then will Americans attend universities? Will Wal-Mart require an MBA to stock its shelves? Will nursing homes want their patients bathed by engineers?

Obviously, education and retraining are not answers to job loss from US employers substituting foreign labor for American labor.”

And then the Greatest Depression hit.

We’ve left the “information economy” in the dust, and now have an ignorance economy.

“Obama” and his media cronies want everyone to go to college, in order to reward and politically consolidate the power of the racial socialists running the antiversity, one of “Obama’s” greatest institutional strongholds.

So, the real story, the one Seema Mehta never told, is about immigration and racism, coming … and coming.

In “Damage Control,” at my Chicago-area (Oak Park) journalist friend, Jim Bowman’s blog, Blithe Spirit, Jim writes of the White House’s bungled exercise in impression management, following the failure in Copenhagen of the John Doe calling himself “Barack Obama,” accompanied by Madame Michelle, billionaire Oprah Winfrey, and Chicago slumlord/presidential consigliere Valerie Jarrett, to secure the 2016 Olympics for their home base.

Bowman: “LA Times has a story that makes the seasoned observer wonder if the White House isn’t throwing the Chicago Olympic Committee under the bus.

“The intelligence that we had from the U.S. Olympic Committee and Chicago bid team was that it was very close and therefore well worth our efforts,” said Valerie Jarrett, a senior White House advisor. “The message was that . . . a personal appeal from the president would make a huge difference.”

Bowman: At first, Obama was to do some “quiet lobbying.”

Working from the White House, he placed calls to half a dozen influential people, including IOC President Jacques Rogge. It quickly became clear that other heads of state were doing the same thing — especially the president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

“It was apparent when he made those calls that Lula had been there [Bowman: made calls?] earlier,” senior White House aide David Axelrod said.

Bowman: Jarrett, “a strong proponent of the drive to deliver the Games,” urged that Obama make the trip. So did Daley, of course. Obama wanted to go, but had to be sure Health Care would not be on the Senate floor. Chicago kept pushing.

Daley and Patrick Ryan, chairman of Chicago 2016, were among those who told the White House that the nose count showed a presidential visit might close the sale, Jarrett said.

Bowman: She excuses them:

“It’s a secret ballot. You can’t necessarily be certain that the people who tell you they’ll vote for you ultimately will,” Jarrett said. “So I’m sure they did the very best they could do to get the intelligence they had.”

Bowman: So. It’s done this way, subtly, indirectly. You can’t blame them for being wrong, dead wrong about sending the President across the waters. And you certainly can blame him or his supposed wise advisors.”

Underlying this story are hubris and stupidity of theological dimensions.

This shouldn’t even be a story. The story was, “IOC chooses Rio over Chicago,” and that should have been the end of it. But no. “Obama” and his advisers apparently believe that the simple story suggests that “Obama” is less than omniscient (the “intelligence that we had”?!—that’s how you talk about a real or possible terrorist attack) and/or less than omnipotent (in failing to bend the IOC to his will).

Sounds like a black thing to me, notwithstanding the certain involvement of “Obama’s” white Svengali, David Axelrod. With rare exceptions, whites do not feel the overwhelming need to present their leaders in godly terms, and those exceptions were mass-murdering, maniacal dictators. On Election Night 2008, Axelrod depicted “Obama” as an infallible genius to 60 Minute’s Steve Krofts. Axelrod unites the political worlds of black and white personality cultism, respectively.

Now Axelrod, Jarrett, et al., feel a need to explain that which requires no explanation. Can a racist conspiracy theory be far behind: ‘They banded together against the first African-American president’?

For me the real story, which we’re unlikely ever to see, is the amount of graft that the “Obamas,” Daley, and Jarrett had expected to see flow into their own pockets from a Chicago Olympics.

As George Reilly commented at columnist Lynn Sweet’s Chicago Sun-Times blog, “If you want to know how America is being run, look at Cook County, which means we need to apologise to Tammany Hall.”

On Sunday, during the last game of Los Mets’ lost season (70-92), mixed in with the usual GEICO revolving lizard/plastic eyes on cash/cavemen commercials; insufferable, Citibank muppies (middle-aged, urban professionals), virtually none of whom are white, heterosexual men; ailing Hispanics, blacks, and Brits (and now, one token white man—he must be gay, or a communist) for the NY State Smokers’ Quitline; and HSBC “citizens of the world,” who are “content to let the government decide how many people to let in,” standing on HSBC soapboxes (I kid you not!); SportsNet NY (better known as SNY), the local cable channel which broadcasts most of the team’s games, ran an ad I’d never seen before … in Spanish. All Spanish.

A tall, skinny, pale, white, 30-something woman is the star, representing the law firm of Levi & Michael LLP. At one point, in a mock courtroom, she addresses a jury, entirely in Spanish. Then the heavyset, 40-something, Mestizo jury forewoman—the colorations of the performers were certainly no accident; if you don’t believe me, just watch a Spanish soap opera—reads the jury’s verdict aloud, entirely in Spanish.

Levi & Michael apparently seeks to tap into the lucrative, illegal alien frivolous lawsuit racket.

Someone needs to tell the folks at Levi & Michael that America is an English-speaking country and, with the exception of Maricopa County (AZ) Superior Court Presiding Judge Barbara Mundell’s unconstitutional, Spanish-speaking, DUI court, doesn’t have Spanish-speaking courts (yet). Levi & Michael apparently wishes to change this situation.

Not coincidentally, arch-hispanderer Fred Wilpon, the owner of Los Mets (the team formerly known as the New York Mets), is majority owner of SNY, in partnership with Time Warner and Comcast.
