All animals are equal, but some are more fat, drunk and stupid than others, son.
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.

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.)

The best line is when he looks at Bluto (i.e. John Belushi) and contemptuously reads his gpa...zero...point...zerrrro!

Apparently Omar Thornton's mother has put up a web site (well, maybe she had some help with that part):
The Omar Sheriff Thornton Memorial Fund
She asks for donations to help combat "institutional racism".
Just FYI.
BTW, here is a foto of Thornton and the woman who was his girlfriend at the time of the killings. While I admittedly did not pay the closest attention at the time, I do not recall seeing before that he had a white girlfriend.

I think you had to be a certain age when Animal House came out to really enjoy it. I'm a few years younger than the youth demographic it was aimed at at the time, and I've never really found it funny.

Probably due to the feminization of the culture since then - nowadays, if a boy gets in trouble at school, he isn't in danger of getting a paddling from the principle so much as he is certain to face the humiliation of "Time Out" in the corner of the room.
BTW, along those lines, I have often felt that the movie Sideways is the grown-up's Animal House - almost a sequel to the original Animal House - but a more realistic look at the kinds of lives which are ultimately led by the oddball fellows who never quite fit into mainstream society.
I'd like to see National Lampoon's 1984.

That's because when the movie came out in 1978, the gross-out antics of the Delta Tau Chi frat brothers was so far outside the socially acceptable norms of behavior that to our generation it was hysterically funny.
However, to the next generation it was no longer satire. It was how people behaved every day.
On the Omar Thornton Memorial website's "Awareness" page is a scrolling section of photos.
This is one of them!
It would be funnier if they could actually come up with a quote from 'Animal Farm' rather than '1984'.

Wow. That is some kind of gall. From the front page of the site:
"Son. Brother. Uncle. Entrepreneur. Friend. Hardworking. Loving. Giving. Kind."
By "Entrepreneur" does she mean "beer thief"?

I'm not sure if it was targeted at those who were of college age when it came out, or those who were of college age in 1962. I'm closer to the former group, and - I agree with you - I never found it very funny either.
Same here, anon 1:18. I must have been older than the target demo, because I hated those kinds of slackers myself.
I love it when Dean Wormer says "Mr. Kroger, two C's, two D's and an F...that's 1.2 GPA. Congratulations Kroger, you're at the top of the Delta pledge class" and the others pat him on the back and give him congratulatory nods...
My fraternity in college (mid 80's) spent a fair amount of energy emulating Delta.
Whether decadence was good or bad, in the past decadence was enjoyed and promoted for its amorality, nihilism, and excess. So, at least there was something honest about it.
Today, decadence itself has been moralized and puritanized. Thus, we have the 'morality' of 'gay marriage'. Thus, women dressing like sluts is 'empowerment'. And blacks acting like jungle lunatics via rap music are sending 'positive messages'.

Wow! Perhaps the most insightful thing I've read all year. I'm going to steal it word-for-word.
It was only a couple days ago, while watching Dirty Harry again, that I made the connection between Dean Wormer, the Mayor in Dirty Harry, and Fletcher in TOJW. Vernon was great in that role.

Ladies and gentlemen, today's wrongest man on the internet!
TOJW. Vernon was great in that role.
Seinfeld's Uncle Leo was a bounty hunter in TOJW.
...Dean Wormer, the Mayor in Dirty Harry, and Fletcher in TOJW...
That's a helluva career right there.
A helluva career.
"a paddling from the principle" = "a paddling from the principal"

ten years ago I would have chuckled at this and "animal house" now i realize how destructive that movie was.

Bingo.
it's like the movie "the wild ones" - stealing soda pop from a store...
But what did Chesterton say about not taking pride in not being shocked at what might shock your grandmother???
