My VDARE.COM column will be out Monday night this week instead of Sunday night. I think you'll like it. In the meantime, James Fulford dissects William Saletan's craven editor.
VDARE is having a fund-raising drive.
My published articles are archived at iSteve.com -- Steve Sailer
Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

What do you expect from a guy whose major intellectual contributions to American political discourse are "Bushisms" and "More George W. Bushisms." In other words, Weisberg is to journalism what the Sniglets guy is to comedy.

Not your best pun, Steve. (The German word for weasel, by the way, is "Wiesel"; "Weisel" means queen bee.) Some scorn is doubtless appropriate, but I could do without the adolescent ad hominem.
Fulford's article is good, but he goes too far when he calls Weisberg's writings "hate speech".
In his 1991 book Dave Barry Talks Back, reprinting a column on linguistic humor, Dave Barry contrasts the phrases "Richard Nixon wearing a necktie" with "Richard Nixon wearing a neck weasel", and "Scientists have discovered a 23rd moon orbiting Jupiter" with "Scientists have discovered a giant weasel orbiting Jupiter." Barry concludes that "You can improve the humor value of almost any situation by injecting a weasel into it."
My suspicion is that Saletan and/or Weisberg needed an out and seized on this wild story about not having a clue who Rushton was as an acceptable excuse. OH MY STARS I'VE BEEN FOOLED BY RACISTS!!!
I mean, consider that you are a well-meaning liberal journalist, that you wish to write a thoughtful thumb-sucker about the most controversial subject in America, and you're going to go ahead and cite research that is widely and loudly derided by all your liberal peers and then claim YOU JUST DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT SCANDALOUS PIONEER FUND.
I mean I don't think Saletan is much of a writer or thinker but it's hard to believe he's that fucking stupid, or that fucking careless in the wake of James Watson's ritual condemnation and expulsion from polite society.
Pull the other one.
Whew! I have always disliked the appearance of the VDare weblog. Its large type, numerous boldfaced quotations, and lurid color have, to me, always reflected emotional rage. When I first encountered it is 2002 I had a visceral fear of its appearance and subsequently have always tried to avoid it. Couldn't VDares management adopt an air of cool. detached, intellectualism like gnxp? Also possibly changing its name to something more pragmatic than the subconscious 'Dare to read' (VDare) would widen its acceptance.
James Fulford dissects William Saletan's craven editor.
While the role of "editors" in the American media goes nearly without discussion, the isteve blog has had some savvy commenters who have noted in the past that all journalistic skew must be signed-off on by a higher-up. In other words, one or more editors must share ideologoy with the writer/s in order to produce a printed headline and accompanying story.
On this issue Lawrence Auster's regular reamings of the New York Sun are instructive.

What exactly is wrong with "emotional rage" as it relates to the mass immigration scheme and its deleterious effects on native population?
I submit that any citizen on the receiving end of our Elites' "Elect a New People" program is naturally entitled to a significant amount of "emotional rage".

HA!
