Conservative pundits never die…

…they just start spouting racial slurs and self-destruct.
Rush is the latest with his “Puff the Magic Dragon” parody, “Barak the Magic Negro.” Not sure if Rush is stupid enough to think that because he used the word negro it wouldn’t be offensive, or if this is Rush’s ploy to prove that he is untouchable, unlike [...]

Sunset over Lone Peak

Well, I survived the first year of graduate school. It was harder than I expected. Probably has something to do with the sink-or-swim philosophy of the practicum experience.
