Our columnist team member Barbara Kay is summering in Bush territory—whish I guess is nearly the entire U.S.A., plus our house—but specifically she means the Bush summer hangout located in Kennebunkport, Maine. 

Tales of a Bush league outfielder” is what she’s deemed her story and herself to be, condescendingly, and wrongly if I may be so bold; and also what she’s entitled her column.  Here’s a snippet:

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine – As Canada Day approaches—with American Independence Day close on its heels—I feel distant from Prime Minister Paul Martin and very close to President George Bush. It isn’t disloyalty. It’s just that I am very close to Bush—or at least to his family estate near Kennebunkport, Maine. About nine miles away, to be precise, in the beach house to which we return like homing pigeons every June, avoiding the tourist swarm and Route #1 gridlock of high season.

Meanwhile, over in Mike Adams’ unique and interesting world, he is renaming things—which coincidentally, liberals in Canada are also wont to do!  Only in this case, liberals wouldn’t much like Professor Adams’ conservative-friendly nomenclature.  We do however.

Here’s a snippet of his column called “The Office of Campus Car Alarms”:

We need to find a new name for “diversity experts.” The term “expert” implies that one possesses superior knowledge. But, since the diversity movement says that all ideas are equal, there can’t possibly be superior knowledge. So, of course, there can’t be any experts of any kind. That’s why I suggest we call them “car alarms.”

Replacing the term “diversity expert” with the term “car alarm” really makes sense if you think about it. I’m sure you remember when car alarms first came out. Every time someone got near a car with an alarm, it would just go off. At first, it was a really big deal, but, eventually, people just started to ignore them.

That’s the way it is with the soon-to-be-formerly-known-as-diversity-experts. When they first opened their offices, they just started shouting “Racism! Sexism! Homophobia!” to everyone who walked by. Now, people tend to ignore them. I should know because those people (did someone just hear an alarm go off?) have shouted me down on a few occasions.
