Political correctness—the silent code that decides whose side of the story gets elevated and whose side gets buried—has been a blunt but effective weapon, which the dominant liberal culture has used to achieve a lot of victories over "them" the past 40 years. But the wins have come at a price. That price is the return of an unmistakable, growing and potentially destabilizing bitterness in American politics.

Nice parenting...

Ok, kids, let's go and see the fire at the fertilizer plant!

Wow!!

"Political correctness—the silent code that decides whose side of the story gets elevated and whose side gets buried"

Yeah, it was surely political correctness that made the NYPost (Murdoch rag) run totally false stories that vastly inflated the number of dead at the Boston Marathon explosions with zero evidence...

[10ac]

We know it wasn't the White Supremacists (like killed the Texas DAs [political correctness?]) because they waited until the black runners finished.

So, the IRS can just decide unilaterally to give a group of people a 3 month extension on filing their taxes? It happened on the 15th, 99.99% have already filed. Is this a joke?

Oh boy, another tragedy for Obama to politicize.

So..I'm guessing that the FBI has no clue who did it.

He has 1776 friends on Facebook. Declaration of independence was signed in 1776. Around that time, the Boston Tea party happened. The explosions happened in Boston. That either means he is guilty... or Nicholas Cage has to steal the Declaration of Independence again.

[Dr. Strangelove]

The NY Post makes an even bigger joke of itself by again accusing two innocent people and claiming they are the FBI's top suspects.



Are there any more vaguely Middle Eastern-looking folks who happened to be watching the race? The Post may have you on the front page tomorrow

The Post should get some actual sources and not just browse 4chan

[Dr. Strangelove]

Official death toll in Texas appears to be at least 35 now.

At least three schools were damaged/destroyed by the explosion and looking at maps, the high school was practically right next to it. Thank God this didn't happen earlier in the day

[Jungle Rat]

My guess is it pushes past 60.

I hate The Onion when actual things go down. In tragedy I just wish they & the crap the represent would die is a ball of fire

If anyone needs a pick-me-up, go watch Boston Bruins fans singing the Star-Spangled Banner. There's no "going-through-the-motions" or half-hardheartedness about it. One of the few times I've gotten chills listening to the song.

[Jungle Rat]

Yeah. Most of America already saw that by 7am yesterday morning. Thanks for staying on top of things though.

It happened at last night's game.

Not up to your usual standards of acting like an ass. C+
