Radical conservatives failed to destroy and disband the NAACP this week like they did ACORN with Andrew Breitbart’s posting of a edited video featuring Shirley Sherrod. At the end of the week, it really didn’t matter that their primary objective was not met as the mainstream media handed them an even bigger victory; virtually no [...]

Recently, a local small business* abruptly went out of business. They had been a rising star in the Dayton business community for the past ten years.

The New York Post issued a statement about the infamous chimp cartoon published Wednesday. (Here if you need to see it.)
