Louis R. Andrews, chairman of a white advocacy group called the National Policy Institute, said he does not support violence, but he expects to see increased racial animosity that will eventually manifest itself in more physical attacks.
"There's no such thing as post-racial," Andrews said, when asked about the claim that Obama's election moved American race relations to a different place. "There's conflict, conflict and continued conflict."
Andrews said he voted for Obama because "I want to see the Republican Party destroyed, so it can be reborn as a party representing the interests of white people, and not entrenched corporate elites."

Slashdot has an article about the Wall Street protesters. Typically, the comments have more than enough people knocking them (for having iphones, for not being organized around a leader, etc).

Hah. Well, the articles posted seem to sometime lean that way but the balance in the comments is really pretty close. In fact the more political articles tend to draw plenty of conservative arguments. I think some of that has to do w posters wanting to seem smart, outsmarting their peers by taking the reactionary side.

Guy SormanGreek MythologyEuropean governments must learn to treat Greece like any other nation.4 October 2011
The modern Greek state is an invention of European powers. The effort began with the Romantics, when Chateaubriand, a great writer but also a wonderful fibber, and then Lord Byron, believed that they could retrieve the sources of Western civilization in Greece—a misunderstanding for which we’re continuing to pay the price. True, today’s Greeks live on the same land as Aristotle and Pericles; but otherwise no great continuation links Hellenic civilization with modern Greece.

Eh most of that Heartiste link is pretty par for the course, dressed up men's rights BS but with fewer misspellings and more turn-of-the-last-century high-minded "adoration". Reminds me what that Atlantic article said about cultures with greater male populations than female: that the culture tends to revere women and women's roles, but men use their voting numbers to keep women home and uneducated. Yay!
But somehow when I got to "the vessels of our immortality" I felt really sickened, more than by the rest.

Friendswood Rep. Taylor apologizes for Jewish slurThe chairman of the House Republican Caucus casually used an ethnic slur earlier today while expressing frustration over the cumbersome payment process of wind insurance claims.“Your job is to pay claims. Don’t nitpick. Don’t try to Jew ‘em down. That’s probably a bad term,” Rep. Larry Taylor, R-Friendswood said.Several hours later, Taylor, who is running for the Texas Senate, released this statement:“At a legislative oversight committee hearing today, I inadvertently used a phrase that many people find offensive.“I corrected myself immediately when I realized what I had said.“I regret my poor choice of words and sincerely apologize for any harm they may have caused.”House Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, the first Jewish speaker elected to lead the 150-member body, declined to comment about the slur, according to his spokeswoman, Tracy Young.Taylor, who owns an insurance agency, is co-chairman of the state’s Joint Legislative Committee on Wind Insurance.Moments before Taylor’s verbal lapse, Insurance Commissioner Eleanor Kitzman told the committee: “There’s a tremendous fear going to trial on these cases. That drives a lot of decisions that are being made.”Taylor said it shouldn’t be so complicated because it’s simply a matter of determining the cost of putting up a new roof or repairing a house.“We’re not calculating pain and suffering. How much does it cost to put that wall up? We need to get back to what does it cost to put the house back up, to put a new roof on?”He expressed “frustration” and wants a new TWIA.Immediately after conceding his use of “a bad term,” Taylor continued his thought: “If the claim is $12,000, pay the $12,000 and get on down the road.”TWIA officials told the committee that rates need to go up 22 percent for homeowners and 29 percent for business property to keep the state windstorm insurance financially sound.They also told lawmakers that TWIA has paid out 97 percent of the Hurricane Ike claims, which will end up costing about $2.3 billion.
