When I was four years old, a mob attacked our family farm. There was a back entrance, a footpath into the hills, and my mother led me there by the hand. “We’re going to play a game,” she told me. “If we have to come this way again, we must do it without making a sound.”
My father was having none of it. He had a duty to the farm workers, he said, and wasn’t going to be driven off his own land by hooligans bussed in from the city.
He was suffering, I remember, from one of those diseases that periodically afflict white men in the tropics, and he sat in his dressing-gown, loading his revolver with paper-thin hands.
This was the Peru of General Velasco, whose putsch in 1968 had thrown the country into a state of squalor from which it has only recently recovered. Having nationalized the main industries, Velasco decreed a program of land reform under which farms were broken up and given to his military cronies.

Senator Nelson,
I heard you on the Michael Putney TV show condemn the Tea Party for shutting down the government
The government has been shut down 17 times since 1977. When Tip O’Neill was Speaker he shut it down 7 times. What were/are your comments on that?
You condemned the Sequester. Would I be correct in assuming that you voted against it? If ObamaCare is the law of the land and, as such, must be obeyed would not Logic dictate that the Sequester must also be obeyed?
Could you tell me how many people have signed up for insurance under ObamaCare? Not how many people who have accessed the demonic web site. Not how many people who have applied. How many people are now insured under the ObamaCare aegis?
I think I have a solution to the Gitmo problem. The President told us it would be closed before the Super Bowl in 2010. It wasn’t.
I suggest that you run for Governor if for no other reason that you and Governor Scott would debate.
Have the debate in Gitmo. By the time each of you had finished your opening statements there would be a stampede by the prisoners to renounce Islam and to become either Trappist monks or snake-handling Baptists. Both if it were possible. The other option would be to demand a return to Waterboarding. Either way it would be a win-win for America.
I thought I was the only one who remembered the B o b & R a y S l o w T a l k e r s o f A m e r i c a routine. I was wrong.

RE: Do umbrellas cause rain? Some comments on your Jeremiad editorial in today’s Star Ledger about the weather ills caused by Western Civilization and its wretched excesses.
Ms. O’Connor,
One of the endearing traits of fire breathing, card carrying and non-thinking modern American Liberals who are also ink stained wenches is the ability never to let facts interfere with an argument, however specious the argument be.
As an émigré from New Jersey – Bayonne, to be precise – I note sadly that not only have the inmates taken control of the asylum [the boobies running the hatch, so to speak] of climate change flap-doodle clap trap but that gender equity has been achieved with you as the head ohmadahn.
Let me slip in a few things.
I know why Oedipus went to Colonnus. I know the difference between a hoplite and a helot. I know how Greenland got its name. I can distinguish between Chiaroscuro and Caravaggio. I don’t have to look up the meaning of Annuit Coeptis. I am a fanatic First Amendmenter. I “created” more jobs in the ‘80s than the 30 companies on the DJIA. I can tell the buttered side from the dry. Although I was not born on farm the lesson of the rooster has not been lost on me. My last gunfight was 20 years ago in Newark of all places. Full disclosure requires me to tell you that after finishing my early morning ablutions in the ‘70s I would open the bath room window and give my can of Right Guard a few gratuitous squirts to debase the beleaguered ozone layer. More details? Send a SASE.
#1 – Since modern American Liberals eagerly support 4th and 5th trimester abortions it would not require 7 League boots to drown all the dumb survivors at their first and last birthday. One way to rescue drowning polar bears would be by decreasing the number of gas guzzling SUV drivers by killing them. Maybe it is time for Canute to try again.
#2 – I always keep my copy of “The Population Bomb” close at hand. Paul Ehrlich, a truly brilliant man, wrote it in 1969. He wrote that the race was on. It would be neck and neck on whether we would freeze to death or starve to death. The finish line was the year 2000. I gave away my last cashmere scarf last Christmas. The temperature in south Florida will be in the low 80s today. Since I have long considered beer, pizza, and crème brulee to be a basic food group I would categorize myself as calorically challenged. I suppose I could have said I use my A/C 51 weeks a year and that God has blessed me both with appetite and the means to get the food to sate same but I chose not to.
That Ehrlich, this world class jackass, this world class neddy dunce, continues his Lysenko-like rants with nary a glance from the modern American Liberal media elite is further proof that the vast Left-Wing conspiracy far surpasses the greatly overrated vast Right-Wing conspiracy.
#3 – Super Storm Sandy, as oppose to not so super storm Sammy, should make us all look at some maps.
Sea Bright, where once I lived, sits atop a barrier island. The important thing to remember there is that the ocean is going to win. Next week, next month, next decade, next millennium. It’s a chalk bet. The ocean wins.
That the people who live next to where riparian rights are defined 4 times a day were able to convince everybody else to indemnify them against the total risk is a testament to one of the inherent weaknesses of democracies. It’s like having 2 wolves and I lamb vote on what’s for lunch.
Speaking of Super Storm Sandy…1962 and 1954 were years with truly biblical storms in New Jersey. GlobalCoolingGlobalWarmingClimateChange were unknown perils then. What caused them?
Any map of the south shore of Long Island printed before 1938 will not show the Shninecock inlet. That’s because it’s not there. A super storm, a storm, alas, without a name, carved it out. What caused that storm?
If you ever get to Galveston, Texas you’ll find a few reminders of 1908. Another unnamed storm killed 8,000 people. What caused that? Was it caused by selfish White people demanding more and more aggressive air conditioning? Wait a minute. There was no air conditioning then. So what caused it?
#4 – You mention an “outward attack on climate science” as if there were, you know what I’m saying, an outward attack on climate science. Saying something like that would normally cause me to say that you couldn’t find your ass using both hands. I shant because my loutish Jersey days are behind me.
Hoc post ergo propter hoc is a term from formal Logic. It is empirically self- evident that you are familiar with neither. Look it up. Learn it. Live it.
You may wish to use the term correlation is not causation as a stepping stone.
Even though all acts of terror on American soil in the 21st century have been committed by Muslims it would not be correct to say that while it may seem so all Muslims are terrorists.
#5 – When in doubt about things meteorological I suggest you seek the counsel of the leading Italian climatologist, Professor Antonio Vivaldi
#6 – I suggest using ObamaCare as an answer to the problem of flood insurance. Since pre-existing conditions can no longer be used to deny applicants health coverage why not apply the same Logic to flood insurance?
When the Son of Super Sandy strikes again, and we know it will, don’t we, give the “victims” 72 hours to apply for flood insurance after the storm. OK. OK 96 hours if they don’t have a valid photo ID.
When Congress can dictate that insurance companies must cover all applicants even if they are single moms, women of color, with children suffering from ADHD while they have terminal alopecia what’s a 12 foot storm surge?
#7 – You mention “hubris” as if it were a stand-alone condition.
I find it impossible to think there is anyone who has more contempt than I for GlobalCoolinjgGlobalWarmingClimateChange shills. I have particular contempt for those ass-backwards goms who use the word consensus in the same sentence as science.
There is no and there can be no consensus in science. Either it is or it isn’t. It took almost a millennium to knock Ptolemy out of the big time. Imagine, if you can, astronomy with him. Of course, the moon may be made of cheese.
Whenever Einstein posited something he used the snail-mail internet to publicize it. He wanted to see if others could prove it wrong. He only had to be proved wrong once. That freed him up to move on to something else.
It takes cojonic chutzpah beyond Guinness Book bounds to think that science is ruled by consensus. Imaginary numbers are ruled by straight lines. The feelings, indeed the good intentions of the scribbling scrivener, don’t count. Pi is not a thing that reacts to consensus. H2O is settled science. Hockey stick based fabrications is not.
It is, by the classic definition of the word, obscene.

RE: “Print the legend” – Some comments on your story about people not stealing.
Ms. Shirley,
I read your article stating that not all EBT card carrying Wal-Mart shoppers are crooks.
Let us be thankful for small blessings.
I am reminded of a story told about golfer Bobby Jones.
While looking for a ball he hit into the rough he accidentally touched it. No one saw it. He immediately penalized himself.
When he reached the 19th hole he was amazed that he was being lionized for his probity. He dismissed it saying, “If you walk past a bank and don’t rob it you shouldn’t get a medal”. If pressured I will thank all non-bank robbers.
I mention that because the problem of fallaciously constructing universals from particulars is still with us.
Perhaps you as a media type can help me with a different story.
2 days ago there were several demonstrations at various Veterans’ monuments and memorials in Washington, DC.
6 separate TV stories all began with one man holding a Confederate flag. I know he was the only one because if there were others they would have been featured. I began to think he was the incarnation of the Gray Ghost, Nathan Bedford Forrest. If not him then surely any one of a number of Louisiana Democratic Senators and Congressmen, right?
A not so keen eye might assume that the demonstrating Veterans were racists who probably were climate change deniers who love large caliber weapons.
They’re all alike, aren’t they?
What can I assume about people not stealing from the government even if it is shut down?
Get back to me please.

RE: Why can’t Johnny read? – Some comments on your oh so predictable column in today’s Miami Herald on why spending more money on education will make us smarter as we close the “equality of outcomes” gap. You can guess that I rank that up with the drowning polar crisis.
Ms. Sanchez,
One of the many perks of being an ink stained modern American Liberal wench is that you get to write sentences such as
“That is, there’s a strong correlation
between poor education and poverty…”
and then this gem
“For nearly two generations, an elite has been busy
remaking our society into a plutocracy…”
followed up by this beauty
“This elite has made war against any policy that
aims to produce equality of outcomes.”
without being flogged by the outraged Gods of Journalism.
[Would not Logic dictate that if we had “equality of outcomes” that every member of every graduating class of every high school in America would be both salutatorian and valedictorian? Theme for the Common Man, Kumbaya, and Imagine would be the only music allowed, right? Tennis matches would last forever, what with there being no net and no points – Endless Love, so to speak]
American education has some monstrously huge short.
Start with tenure.
Paying a bad teacher as much as a good teacher is insulting to Logic.
Paying a bad teacher anything is criminally moronic, not to mention insulting to Logic.
Why aren’t History teachers held to the same high standards as the football coach?
The Broward Board of Education employs swarms of “diversity experts”. What in the names of McGuffey’s Reader and the Dictionary of Cultural Literacy do those layabouts [N.B. I didn’t say overpaid layabouts since all layabouts are, per se, overpaid]
do? What contribution to the Western Canon have they made, will make?
Which policy would you recommend that would “produce equality of outcomes”? Can you mention one that has worked? Could you tell me where and when it has “produce[d] equality of outcomes”?
I was a freshman in high school when Sputnik was launched in 1957. 12 years later we flew to the moon, walked around, picked up some cool souvenirs, and came home. I mention that because your ideological journalistic forebears began an never ending sermon of Jeremiads that proved to be incorrect.
Take a look at the Nobel Prize winners’ list since Sputnik was launched. Deo gracias that there is no “equality of outcomes” in those contests. Whole cultures, indeed whole continents, are missing from the honor roll. Are you suggesting that we should award them on an Affirmative Action basis? Race, gender, religion, country…it shouldn’t take long to level the playing field, right?
Modern American Liberals say that more money equals better education.
Can you cite one year where less money was spent on education than the year before?
It is empirically self-evident that urban education is a train wreck that has been carpet bombed with cruise missiles. Spending more money on it just makes it worse. Speaking of urban education, wouldn’t it be an inspiring move, one filled with hope and change, if the Obamas sent their daughters to any of the really fine public schools in Washington, DC? Just asking.
Why not offer hazard pay to college graduates to teach in “inner city” schools? [Thank God for euphemisms] They must be unburdened by education degrees.
If they succeed they earn a bonus equal to the losers’ share of the Super Bowl
If they fail we are no worse off.

RE: Of course Happy Days will be here again as soon as Broward County is run like Wal-Mart. Some comments on your, alas, unlinkable column on how bigger is better in today’s Sun Sentinel.
My dear Professor,
You seem to have had a mega-dose of the modern American Liberal Kool-Aid, the potion that says Midnight Basketball is good and that tossing octogenarian World War 2 veterans out of their wheel chairs for daring to visit their DC monuments, the ones that they paid for with their blood, tears, toil, and sweat, is better.
I had to get half-way through your “Life is so unfair because Republicans are such rotten bastards” before you made a surprise confession.
“…for every local, there is a yokel.”
Modern American Liberals mankind, humankind, and peoplekind; It’s people, individual people, Joe the Plumber comes to mind, that they can’t stand.
Anyone who dares to disagree with you isn’t just wrong. They are evil. If they aren’t Screwtape evil it is because they are too stupid. Plus they are racist, homophobic, gun loving, climate change deniers who watch Duck Dynasty and use John Rawls books for up and close and personal hygiene.
Logic would dictate that if your plan to consolidate Broward County into 9 “seamless structures” where the trains, once we borrow more money from the meretricious Mandarins to build them, will run on time, the plan should go national.
Doubtless, the first Mayor of Broward County will be named Benito. That’s Benito, as in Benito Mussolini. You may recall that Il Duce was the darling of modern American Liberals in the early to mid-thirties. Look it up.
I went to school in South Orange, NJ. I lived in Orange, NJ. I worked in East Orange, N J. Our children were raised in West Orange, NJ. The paradigmatic template of modern American Liberalism, the one to which you have sworn eternal fealty, the one that compels you to demand that the walls between Wilton Manors and Lazy Lake be torn down, must apply there..
How about No Navel Orange?
The same for North Carolina and South Carolina? Adios to North Carolina and South Carolina? Say goodbye to West Hampton, East Hampton, and South Hampton.
You say that Broward County needs to tear itself down to build itself up or “nothing will ever change”.
Isn’t that what Robespierre and Lenin said at the start of their revolutions? We got the guillotine from the Frogs and 70 years of Gulags and the Rosenbergs from the Russkies. Didn’t Lyndon Johnson say the same thing as he led the country into war? No, I don’t mean Vietnam. I mean the no exit strategy War on Poverty. That one. The one that’s still being fought.
If there is a more modern American Liberal political entity, with the possible exception of Zabar’s this coming Sunday morning or Barbra Streisand’s house with its gnoshing soirees, in America I would like to be told of it.
The modern American Liberal control of Broward County is so overwhelming that Dr. Mengele would be elected because of his progressive views on abortion. OJ Simpson is taking on-line courses to be ready to stand for election as soon as he gets out.
How did Broward County get so bad?
Did Republicans, financed by the Koch Brothers, sneak in at night and FUBAR Miriam Oliphant? How about Sheriff Jenne, AKA Emperor Kenneth the Short? Josephus Eggelettion? Beverly Gallagher? Mandy Dawson? Alcee Hastings? Scott Cowan? Sylvia Poitier? Dereck Salesman? The Chaits and about a dozen elected pols Diana Wasserman-Rubin and spouse? The Krafts? A judiciary where justice has to be blind lest it go mad?
Broward County is the land of palms, all of which are turned up. It reminds me of Hudson County minus the snow and the moral clarity.
Those poltroons couldn’t lie straight in bed.
I can wait for them to take over.
You can’t.

Logic would dictate that if your plan to consolidate Broward County into 9 “seamless structures” where the trains, once we borrow more money from the meretricious Mandarins to build them, will run on time, the plan should go national.
Doubtless, the first Mayor of Broward County will be named Benito. That’s Benito, as in Benito Mussolini. You may recall that Il Duce was the darling of modern American Liberals in the early to mid-thirties. Look it up.
I went to school in South Orange, NJ. I lived in Orange, NJ. I worked in East Orange, N J. Our children were raised in West Orange, NJ. The paradigmatic template of modern American Liberalism, the one to which you have sworn eternal fealty, the one that compels you to demand that the walls between Wilton Manors and Lazy Lake be torn down, must apply there..
How about No Navel Orange?
The same for North Carolina and South Carolina? Adios to North Carolina and South Carolina? Say goodbye to West Hampton, East Hampton, and South Hampton.
You say that Broward County needs to tear itself down to build itself up or “nothing will ever change”.
Isn’t that what Robespierre and Lenin said at the start of their revolutions? We got the guillotine from the Frogs and 70 years of Gulags and the Rosenbergs from the Russkies. Didn’t Lyndon Johnson say the same thing as he led the country into war? No, I don’t mean Vietnam. I mean the no exit strategy War on Poverty. That one. The one that’s still being fought.
If there is a more modern American Liberal political entity, with the possible exception of Zabar’s this coming Sunday morning or Barbra Streisand’s house with its gnoshing soirees, in America I would like to be told of it.
The modern American Liberal control of Broward County is so overwhelming that Dr. Mengele would be elected because of his progressive views on abortion. OJ Simpson is taking on-line courses to be ready to stand for election as soon as he gets out.
How did Broward County get so bad?
Did Republicans, financed by the Koch Brothers, sneak in at night and FUBAR Miriam Oliphant? How about Sheriff Jenne, AKA Emperor Kenneth the Short? Josephus Eggelettion? Beverly Gallagher? Mandy Dawson? Alcee Hastings? Scott Cowan? Sylvia Poitier? Dereck Salesman? The Chaits and about a dozen elected pols Diana Wasserman-Rubin and spouse? The Krafts? A judiciary where justice has to be blind lest it go mad?
Broward County is the land of palms, all of which are turned up. It reminds me of Hudson County minus the snow and the moral clarity.
Those poltroons couldn’t lie straight in bed.
I can wait for them to take over.
You can’t.

PS – Commissioner Atkins-Grad was acquitted because her defense – “I am a moron and a fucking idiot” – worked. Good for her.
