Intelligence can be a hot topic. It burst into roaring flames with the publication of The Bell Curve, and the flames haven’t died down yet.
As long as I’m looking at the Wilson Quarterly, here’s an article from Summer, 2004.
In the world of the American public school, few subjects are more controversial than intelligence. [...]

I happened to find The Wilson Quarterlyat the magazine stand last week. It features an interesting blend of perspectives, and I may blog rather heavily from it in the next month or so.
The item linked above, originally published as “Are We Still Evolving? by Gabrielle Walker, in Prospect (July 2004), is retitled here, “Is [...]

Man, the Endangered Gender?
In traditional America, the man with a shrewish wife was pityingly described as “henpecked.” He could not, however, counter with force and still retain the respect of his peers. He was expected to “take it like a man,” contain the problem if possible, and, if not, to escape often to the refuge [...]

John Kerry, as much a whiny loser as ever, is instructing the world not to take the democratization of Iraq too seriously. The free world should really breath a collective sigh of relief that this imbecile was defeated.
A bitter-sounding Sen. John Kerry dismissed the historic Iraqi election on Sunday, warning Americans not to [...]

The official Palestinian Authority website still contains (as of January 30) this cartoon of Ariel Sharon, depicting him as a butcher of the Palestinian people. Sharon is shown chopping up a baby, with two Palestinians hanging on meathooks in the background. This is all just further proof that nothing has changed at the PA. They’re [...]

Oooh! You so-called “Men’s Rights Activists” are a pack of whining whiners! And you’re rotten deniers of male privilege!
That’s right– if you speak-out about the issues which affect you personally, you’re a whiner! And no one likes a whiner! Why don’t you just shut-up and enjoy all the sundry male privileges that you have- like [...]

The Day Care Crisis.
Study after study shows that 75 percent to 80 percent of mothers would dedicate themselves to full-time childrearing if they could; that same number prefer informal care for their children in their absence to commercialized day-care centers. Yet, only those who place their children in commercialized care get tax credits — the [...]

A new poll by Strategic Vision shows that Dino Rossi would defeat Christine Gregoire by a wide margin if a new election for governor was held in Washington State for governor. A majority of those polled also believe that Dino Rossi legitimately won the election, and it was stolen from him by [...]

With two hours to go until the polls close in Iraq, there have been several suicide bombs detonated and at least two dozen people dead in various areas. Despite that, people continue to line up in that country’s first free election.
One good thing about this election is that the danger in Iraq has made the [...]

Fathers Inferior?
By Edward Grey, thanks Harry.
Imagine being a black in the 1950s reading a newspaper column like the recent “Deadbeat dads work to avoid manhood” but instead was “Shiftless blacks duck the law.”
Imagine the supporting quotes were from a lawyer beholden to a bigoted judicial system and the single statistic was from that system. You [...]

Betsy Newmark points out an article about a group, Citizens United, that is buying billboard space to thank the Hollywood Left for helping to re-elect Bush.
These billboards will be up in Hollywood during February, including one near the Kodak Theater, home of the Academy Awards.

In an ongoing argument over evolution, Clayton Craymer says he objects to the arrogance of the teachers. They should not be teaching the subject in the manner of someone who has all the patents on Truth. In return, I keep telling him his problem is not with the subject of evolution, but with [...]

Jay Manifold reports on a new asteroid, 2001 DA42.
No, it’s not going to hit us, or even come close. So DON’T PANIC.
I’m posting about it because it’s just been named for Douglas Adams.
But keep your towel handy anyway.
