He admitted to Bill O’Reilly that he personally gets nervous if he sees obvious Muslims on the plane with him. So NPR, home to cartoonists who like to slam tea partiers by referring to them in sexually derogative terms, fired him. This is what Williams said on FOX News: Well, actually, I hate to say [...]

But don’t dare check the legal status of individuals who are unable to provide identification. That would be discriminatory.

Jimmy McMillan, the candidate running for governor under the Rent Is Too Damn High Party banner, who stole the show in Monday’s debate, hasn’t had a rent increase in at least five years in his one-bedroom Brooklyn apartment. The rent at his Flatbush abode has been frozen at a very reasonable $800 since 2005. [...]
