Now if he would only vote like he talks.
In an interview with The Washington Post’s editorial board, Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) asserted that he is more prepared to be president than any other candidate, disputed the notion that governors are better suited for the White House than senators and warned that Pakistan is a potentially bigger threat than Iran.
Biden also stumbled through a discourse on race and education, leaving the impression that he believes one reason that so many District of Columbia schools fail is the city’s high minority population. His campaign quickly issued a statement saying he meant to indicate that the disadvantages were based on economic status, not race.
After a lengthy critique of Bush administration education policies, Biden attempted to explain why some schools perform better than others — in Iowa, for instance, compared with the District. “There’s less than 1 percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than 4 or 5 percent that are minorities. What is in Washington?

Christian Science Monitor on Jena myths — where was this two months ago? All these media establishment types knew it just as well two months ago as they did now, yet they’re waiting until now to tell the truth, after they have whooped up black rage, hate and paranoia, which will surely get some white person killed, if it hasn’t already.

The second attempt to push through the DREAM Act, i.e. another backdoor attempt at soft amnesty for illegal aliens, failed yesterday in the Senate. Or, to put it more accurately, a cloture vote failed. It needed 60 votes, and only got 52.
You already know who voted no, and by deduction, against the DREAM Act, but Kit Bond also voted no. This is probably a clue that he will try for another term in 2010.
Also, you will notice that John McCain and Ted Kennedy, whose very names were attached to the first two attempts at “Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” did not vote.
2008: Year of the Dobbs October 25, 2007

Politico thinks that s/he who sounds most like Lou Dobbs wins.
But there is one slight error in this article:
The fact that the Beltway establishment’s full-court push for immigration amnesty was defeated twice this year by an alternative-media-led populist rebellion indicates the political power of these issues. It isn’t just about immigration.
It wasn’t defeated “twice,” it was defeated four times. Twice, the McKennedy “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” was beat back early this past summer, and twice, the Harry Reid-peddled DREAM Act was beat back, the latest defeat being yesterday.

JEFFERSON CITY — The state’s crackdown on illegal immigrants has led to 52 arrests in the first six weeks, with most caught in routine traffic stops.
More than half of those detained were passengers. One had a flat tire. Others were pulled over for speeding or failure to use a turn signal properly.
That’s how most people with warrants are arrested.
While many have hailed Gov. Matt Blunt’s get-tough policy, critics say the Missouri Highway Patrol’s even more aggressive strategy of checking residency during traffic stops could result in racial profiling.
“If you’re being told from on high that we’re going to stop illegal immigration, law enforcement is going to look twice at someone who looks Hispanic,” said Jorge Riopedre, secretary of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan St. Louis. “It’s only human nature.”
Tony Rothert, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri, said the Highway Patrol doesn’t seem to have a “coherent policy” for deciding whom to arrest.
Okay, the State Bears should arrest a lot more silver-haired white 80-year old WWII vets on suspicion of them being illegal aliens, just to even out the race stats.
It’s Not Age They’re Worried About October 25, 2007

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. — A growing number of movie theaters, trying to woo more adults, are banning youngsters who aren’t with their parents or excluding them from late-night showings.
Kerasotes Theatres is testing “adult-friendly” movies at 13 of its 95 locations, spokeswoman Clair Malo says.
Two theaters in suburban Chicago require patrons 17 and younger to attend a short “code of conduct” class on decorum before they can see movies at 8:30 p.m. or later without parents.
Some of the remaining part of the article state that these theaters are showing movies with sophisticated themes, or movies or other performances specifically aimed at middle-aged or older adults.
If you put all these clues together, it’s not really age that these theater owners are worried about. They have to use age as a legal circumlocution for race.
