It was just yesterday that we noted that The Philadelphia Inquirer doesn’t seem to pay much notice to the murders of young black males in the City of Brotherly Love. I pointed out, in the footnote, that with 287 homicides in 188 days (as of 11:59 PM on July 7th) equaled 1.5266 homicides per day, […]
We noted, near the end of May, the opinion piece by Elizabeth Hughes, publisher of The Philadelphia Inquirer. In it, Miss Hughes began: June 2 will mark a year since The Philadelphia Inquirer published this racist headline: “Buildings Matter, Too.” If printing those words in 72-point type had occurred in a vacuum, it would have […]
I am not from Missouri, not from the “Show Me” State, and, to the best of my recollection, I’ve only passed through the place once, way back in August of 1972.

But the first three paragraphs were decent: I will admit to having taken an almost perverse pleasure in checking the Philadelphia Police Department’s Current Crime Statistics page, […]
William F Buckley, Jr, famously said, “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” The Pico Corollary to that would be that where liberals get concentrated into greater numbers, they channel their offense into actions against those with other […]
Sometimes an article which would deserve a laughing out loud derision is about a subject which is in no way humorous.

At least know their names.” The last […]
