Equal Opportunity Profiling

© Matt Bors Profiling, not just for blacks and hispanics any more. UPDATE: Hat tip to a reader for pointing out this article in Gawker. Be sure to read the comments. It just keeps getting funnier and scarier, all at the same time: Many people don’t want to hear this kind of tough love, of […]

Turnabout

After a Korean airplane crashed during landing at SFO, a San Francisco TV station screwed up royally by reporting fake racist names for the pilots (Sum Ting Wong, Wi To Lo, Ho Lee Fuk, …). I have no idea if this is true or not, but after a Southwest Airlines flight crashed recently in New […]

Reactionaries

I think everyone should watch Obama’s unscripted remarks about the Florida verdict. He was thoughtful and respectful, while still being thought provoking.
