Derbyshire’s Defenestration: Six Months Later

Derb calls it a six month anniversary, but how can there be a six month anniversary?  (L. annus, anni, year.) Call me a pedant and a quibbler.  So while I'm just being myself, I'll also point out that he uses the pleonastic 'true fact.'  What, as opposed to a false fact?

Much more importantly, the man spoke the truth about race and has paid a  price for so doing.

I seem to recall a rant of mine against the simultaneous crudification and wussification of American culture.  Ugly words for ugly things.  Derb in his Anniversary of a Defenestration laments "the pathetic pussification of the official right."  Here is Part II.

There is much more on the delightful topic of race in my aptly entitled Race category.
