Cultural Rewind: No more Swedish minarets?

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.)

On behalf of Muslim immigrants in Swaziland, I am outraged.
Wait, so they're not building the new minaret at Swarthmore?
So the Muslims in Switzerland will have to make do with the Swiss minuets already available to them.
Frankly, I don't see that as particularly newsworthy.
I have recently, at age 49, noticed myself skipping letters in words, extrapolating the meaning. Spot on observation there, Mr. Sailer!
Oh, and Tiger, just say it, "I did not have sexual relations with that golf club!"
Minuet seems an innocuous dance to me. A little old-fashioned, but what's the big deal?
Swabians united!
Sweden, Switzerland - whatever. The Washington Post is too important to concern itself with details - they are too busy providing the kind of thoughtful, nuanced journalism that their sophisticated readers demand.
I do, and I usually catch tons of typos, even in supposedly proofread nonfiction bestsellers. The standards in some of the first-run copies (you know, with the ragged pages) are simply appalling.
I am also an extremely slow reader.
And guys can get fired when people don't look at the last half of "niggardly". =)

You've got it backwards--it's the last portion to which people pay no attention. (On further thought, it occurs that, if you're dyslexic, you're OK--just fine--with that comment!)
The attitude broadcast by the media, and echoed in many reader comments, is that the Swedes/Swiss/whoever have done something completely unnecessary and superfluous gesture, as "only" 400,000 of a population of 7,500,000 are muslim aliens who haven't made many minarets, yet, and don't yell from them, yet. This who-cares attitude is also completely at odds with the other attitude that's coming through loud and clear, which is that this is an unthinkable violation of "international human rights" and won't be permitted to stand.
How long until NATO bombs Sweden/Switzerland/whoever?
They're building a miniature golf course for swarthy blackamoors?
Sweden,Switzerland...which one is Tiger's wife from again? Maybe HE confused them and thats why his wife went ape! Apropos of nothing,but,when I was younger, boy did I have a thing for Liv Ullman! Did any of you? Steve? She made one "film" with a de rigueur lesbian scene...whoa. Oh! Sorry! What were we discussing again? Minarets? All for 'em! So vibrant...and scarey!
The weird thing about the ban is that it's actually about architecture. You can still build a mosque in Switzerland, you just can't put minarets on it. What do the Swiss muslims expect? It took me four years to get the plans for my tiny summer cottage approved and it didn't even have minarets.
The weird thing about the ban is that it's actually about architecture.
Really? Did they ban steeples?
It's about Muslims, not architecture. A win's a win, damnit.
