A rational assessment of Ayn Rand

Posted on February 10, 2010 by Mary Grabar

 Cathy Young presents one of the most reasonable assessments of Ayn Rand as her birthday passes.  Atlas Shrugs has some great passages, some great jabs at the left.  But parts of it are very disturbing, and Cathy points them out.  (Oh, and the sex scenes just parody themselves.)  It seems that many of Ayn Rand’s [...]

I have an idea for the feminists who can’t stand having a pro-life message from the Tebows during the Super Bowl: Buy some time for yourselves.  Produce a commercial with one of your own people.  She can be filmed with her six cats and provide testimony like, “Thirty years ago I made my choice to [...]

 Dog bites man.  
Cornel West speaks on race at Emory.  Ho hum.  “George W. Bush is a racist.”  Yawn.  “We’ve come a long ways (witness my speaking fees), but we’ve got a long ways to go (otherwise no one would have reason to book me as a speaker).”  (Just doing a little deconstruction for the folks [...]

“9/11 as Avant-Garde Art?”

Posted on October 30, 2009 by Mary Grabar

What does my colleague, professor of performance studies at New York University, conclude?  Writing in the ever-so-prestigious journal for members of the Modern Language Association, Richard Schechner concludes, “I cannot settle in my own mind the question of whether 9/11 in itself is art or can be more fully understood under the rubric of [...]

Hip-Hop Professor Off Fox News, Kudos to Cliff

Posted on October 17, 2009 by Mary Grabar

 Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media has managed to get hip-hop professor commie Marc Lamont Hill off Fox News.  I winced every time I heard O’Reilly call Hill “professor” or “doctor.”  You can read about “Professor” Hill’s background and “scholarship” at the AIM website www.aim.org.
An update and more analysis http://usasurvival.org/listmanager/asinews101809.html
