Les Phillip In Huntsville Tonight: 6 PM at UAH
A quick note from Les Phillip to those who read these pages from Northern Alabama.
(If you're not from there, it's a fabulous part of the US, with a fascinating history.)
Tonight, Monday, April 12, with doors opening at 6pm, I will be participating in a debate with the other 2 Republican candidates for the 5th district. This is a great opportunity to come out, hear from the candidates, and show your support. There will be a straw poll at this debate, so I encourage you to bring friends and come early as seats will be limited. The debate is located at the University Center building at UAHuntsville, and is sponsored by the Consortium of Students for Justice and Liberty.
OS doesn't know Mr. Phillip, but has thrown a few shekels his way as he runs for Congress.
Just by being elected and showing up on the House floor to be sworn in next year, he'll create apoplexy amongst the old-line Politburo leftists like Charlie Rangel, Nancy Pelosi, Harold Ford, and the Congressional Black Caucus.
It's worth a few shekels just to see them squirm.
Creative revenge is always more fun...

Livin' The High Life: The Congressional Black Caucus
OS ran across bits of this, and thought--nyah, this is just some rant from some guy living in his mom's basement with his gun collection and Confederate flag.
In 2008, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation spent more on the caterer for its signature legislative dinner and conference — nearly $700,000 for an event one organizer called “Hollywood on the Potomac” — than it gave out in scholarships, federal tax records show.
OS has a friend on the faculty at Fisk University, a flagship black university, founded and built by freed slaves. They struggle to keep the doors open. Certainly, this story is overblown. What could Fisk do with 700 grand?
But, just to be certain, he kept searching, and the original story is sourced at the New York Times.
The quote was accurate. And the whole story is much uglier than just that paragraph.
Time was, the Times would never, ever print a story like this. They were the original LiberalGuiltAssCovering service. No matter how egregious, never a murmur about any black Democrat. Back in the day, Adam Clayton Powell ran Harlem as a personal duchy, right under the nose of the Times.
Well, times has changed(unintentional pun...) Reality is setting in. Their people won. Statehouse, Congress, White House. Black governor, black president. The Dream is reality.
And the wheels are coming off.
The Times, to survive, must regain at least a semblance of credibility. They no longer control the conversation, and increasingly, the country doesn't care what their editorial page thinks.
Obama and company are losing their cover, and cold winds are beginning to blow.
