Speaking frankly about Israel and Palestine – Los Angeles Times
Wisdom from a peanut farmer.
ROTFLMAO!
New Life for the “One Drop” Rule
Interesting article on the hypocrisy of the use of racial classifications.
So apparently, if your daddy is the CEO of a major RIAA company, you don’t have to worry about getting sued to the gills for “stealing” music online.

Kamehameha Schools gathers at prayer service – The Honolulu Advertiser – Hawaii’s Newspaper

Court rules 8-7 for Hawaiians-first admission policy – The Honolulu Advertiser – Hawaii’s Newspaper
Absolutely ridiculous, and one can only imagine it will be overturned by the Supreme Court. I love how they try to use the weasel word “Hawaiians-first” instead of “Hawaiians-only” – it is clear that there is a de facto absolute bar to non-Native Hawaiians admission, as evidenced by the reaction of KSBE to the last time a student not of the preferred race was able to get in.

Union issues statement on Del Monte’s closure – The Honolulu Advertiser – Hawaii’s Newspaper
Used to work the fields in high school. Damn shame they’re closing, even worse that they’ve done it so heartlessly.
The Right to Deny Genocide – Los Angeles Times
Leave it to the french…
OMFG. I can’t believe a) how this guy manages to stay in character, and b) how terribly gullible folks are not to see through it.
