Deep Thought of the Day

If I die out in the wilderness somewhere, please make sure that not one dime of government money is used to retrieve my body. If I’m still alive but trapped, feel free to go all Chilean miner rescue effort on me.

Deep Thought of the Day

Five years ago this month, Katrina happened. Yesterday, the defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints visited President Barack Obama at the White House. Somewhere in New Orleans a 4-year-old black kid who loves football has no idea why it’s such a big deal.

Glenn Beck Teaches Black History

Granted, the reason Glenn Beck devoted a show to showing how popular history has ignored a number of blacks is to rail against government (e.g., the reason these guys aren’t taught in school is because liberals want you to think the government is needed to make blacks and whites work together). And yes, the main source of the show is not trained as a historian and is a prominent evangelical and Texas Republican consultant. And yes, as Beck is wont to do, he overstates his case with inaccuracies (e.g., Joseph Hayne Rainey was never the Speaker of the House). Still, regardless of the motives and shortcomings, there’s a lot of black history in this hour on Fox News that I suspect no other major network has ever shown.
