The sad state of elite academia is indicated by the statement of Columbia’s acting Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs regarding Iranian terrorist leader Ahmadinejad’s visit.

Sean Penn like a feminine Hygiene product? That’s just part of the story. Read on…

The Society of Professional Journalist maintains a Code of Ethics (previously Fisked).

I am angry tonight. I hope other Americans are also.
Some of us have long understood the depths of the barbarian evil confronting us. Too many others refuse to understand, even after today’s beheading of an innocent American civilian.
