LinkSwarm for May 23, 2011

Posted on May 23, 2011 by Lawrence Person
  • “The arrest of a mediocre international civil servant in the first-class cabin of his jet isn’t just a sex story: It’s a glimpse of the widening gulf between the government class and their subjects in a post-prosperity West. Neither Geithner nor Strauss-Kahn have ever created a dime of wealth in their lives…the Great Men of the Permanent Governing Class cannot be bound by the rules they impose on the rest of you schmucks.”
  • As always, Iowahawk is on the case.
  • This is disturbing. Remember the McMartin Preschool case, where numerous people were charged bizarre, contradictory and flat-out-impossible charges of ritual sexual abuse of children? Unfortunately, Texas has its own equivalent in the “Mineola Swingers Club” case. Unfortunately, unlike the McMartin Preschool case, people have actually been convicted.
  • Liberals manage to kill Texas campus carry bill. Sponsor Sen. Jeff Wentworth blames House Speaker Joe Straus.
