  • This<\/a> is absurd. Law schools are deliberately inflating grades to make their students more competitive. Where does it stop? What happens when every student is Maxima Cum Laude with a 5.0 GPA?<\/li>\n
  • They are still digging bodies<\/a> out of the WTC.<\/li>\n

  • I’m not surprised<\/a> that the author of “Party of Parasites” collects farm subsidies.<\/li>\n
  • I never thought I’d call Thomas Sowell a hack, but … well<\/a>. It’s so depressing to watch so many conservative icons go off the deep end. And for all the Republicans going into hysterics about Obama being a dictator, here<\/a> is Foreign Policy, to remind us of what a dictator is really like.<\/li>\n
