- Well, I'm back to the FatCave...after a THREE HOUR STOP at the ranch to hang out with Mini-Me, my son-in-law, and his side of the family. At least three Iowans are sleeping tonight in my filthy, cramped hovel down on the banks of the Brazos. The stoic out-of-towners seem to be doing it without any outward signs of complaint, either. Hell, I'd complain, and I own the place. |

- Those French headscarvesJoanne Jacobs picks up a piece from the Volokh's on the subject.Abstaining from detailed comment before looking at the texts, I'd say that, in principle, it's a good idea, insofar as it's a forward policy, demanding that a public education stands for something more than mere crowd control.(The French fetish for lacit needs more careful teasing than I have time for right now.)But it's overwhelmingly a bad idea, since it forecloses debate: while it would be unfair to hold a Jewish student responsible for the actions of Sharon or an Arab for those of Assad, it would be right to challenge vigorously the attitudes and beliefs of such students. |

- Strom's miscegenation: the Biggest Lie of all?Like the patriarchs of old our men live all in one house with their wives and their concubines, and the mulattoes one sees in every family exactly resemble the white children--and every lady tells you who is the father of all the mulatto children in everybody's household, but those in her own she seems to think drop from the clouds, or pretends so to think.The words of Mary Boykin Chesnut [1] from her famous [2] diary (for March 1861).I had rather naively thought (earlier pieces from December 16) that the propensity of Southern gentlemen secretly to consort with their Negro slaves and servants was pretty well embedded in the mind of most Americans - indeed, that the tendency to error was likely to be in the form of a general assumption that all such gentlemen acted thus. |
