Yet Another Myth Dispelled: The UK Takes a Sharp Right Turn

A League Of Their Own
If you haven’t heard, Dan “Moose” Lewis is planning to start a segregated basketball league. Comments at the white supremacist website Stormfront are universally in favor, but repellent rednecks may be in for disappointment: this is probably just an incredibly … Continue reading
Dreaming of Magnum’s Ferrari

Racist Cop is Not Racist
