So tell me about Tom Cotton

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 07, 2013 17 Comments

He's running for Senate in Arkansas in a bid to unseat Democrat Mark Pryor. I know almost nothing about Cotton or the Republican field. Who else is expected to run in the Republican primary?

Oprah: Trayvon Martin = Emmett Till

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 06, 2013 73 Comments

Of course, the two cases bear no resemblance at so many levels. But Oprah can't help herself, and debases the memory of Emmett Till by comparing Till's whistling at a white woman and subsequent beating death to the violence perpetrated by Trayvon Martin upon George Zimmerman who acted...
