WELL, OF COURSE: Tony Katz owns Contessa Brewer, ‘race-ers’ on MSNBC. That’s like a major-league pitcher in a Little League game. “But this whole idea of race, you know what, if there are birthers and they’re all crazy and silly for actually wanting to see a birth certificate, well let’s talk about the racers, the people who believe that everything is a conspiracy about race. . . . It’s not his race. It’s that he’s awful. The policies are terrible. ObamaCare is a lie and a failure. QE1 and QE2 didn’t work. It’s crazy.”
FIRST BIRTHERS, NOW IT’S “RACERS:” Watching Royal Wedding, ‘The View’ Idiot Asks ‘Where Are All the Black People?’
THINKPROGRESS: Death To The Unbelievers.
SO MY FLIGHT OUT OF PITTSBURGH TODAY WAS TOO EARLY for me to interview Ted Nugent, who was just coming into town. So my co-anchor Alexis Garcia stepped up and did the interview, and IM’ed me this pic. Not gloating or anything. Just . . . sharing.
WHY DON’T WE HAVE better birth control?
WEATHER IS NOT CLIMATE, unless people die.

IN A SHOCKING FAILURE OF SELF-PROMOTION, I forgot to link this column on the Federalist Society and the power of persuasion. Well, I’ve been busy.
DISCORD IN HARVARD’S EDUCATION SCHOOL: Protesters demand more emphasis on community organizing and “social justice,” less on practical training. I guess the higher education bubble news hasn’t gotten there yet. Much of the reaction in the comments, however, is pretty brutal.
On the other hand, the protesters must be a minority because the same place just gave Chris Christie a standing ovation.
UPDATE: Mike Stopa emails:
I saw Christie at Harvard yesterday. He got three standing ovations, actually. I knew it was looking promising when, 30 minutes before the speech the audience was already half full and discussions about Tea Party protests (for Secure Communities in Massachusetts) and the Wisconsin recount could be heard here and there. And I said I belong to the Northborough Tea Party and instantly had some new friends.
Anyway, here’s my take (on the front page of my site) including original pics.
Thanks!
AUSTIN BAY: An opportunity in Libya.
JERRY POURNELLE’S NEW KINDLE EDITION OF A STEP FARTHER OUT is still doing quite well. I’m glad to see that. He’s currently #1 in Economics/Development and Growth — and #1 in Policy and Current Events.

ANDY KESSLER: Make way for the virtual exchange. “Technology has rendered the stock exchange as we know it obsolete. Trades take place in milliseconds on servers in the great data cloud in the sky.” Is that good?
