Minority Report

Bad Day, Mate

Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe calls Australia's prime minister "desperate and racist" because he canceled a cricket tour there out of fears that it would show a sign of support to the controversial Mugabe. Call me desperate and racist, but I'm not trying to play cricket in Zimbabwe either. [SMH]

Two California boys get $40,000 from their school district as payment for being the butt of lynching jokes and racial harassment for the amusement of other students. Six years ago, a student harassed for being gay won $130,000 from the same district. They should have retained his lawyer. [FB]

With his new cartoon, David Banner continues his intense love affair with Mississippi. [CM]

When white students misbehave, send them to the principals office. When black students do the same thing, call the cops. [BaltSun]

Not content to retire to a condo in Florida and bug her grandkids in her spare time, this 75-year-old decided to take it to the North Pole. [TB]

Re the California case: these two boys' lawsuit came AFTER the district was supposed to implement anti-harassment training. The plaintiffs should have received treble damages from that fact alone. The school's behavior was disgusting. Let's hope the judge raises the amount of the award.

Barbara Hillary is my heroine. I wonder if she's related to, or was inspired by Edmund Hillary. Great story.

That's awesome that Barbars Hillary travelled to the North Pole. It's even more amazing that the weather and snow didn't bother her.
I'm 24 and the snow and cold weather in MI is terrible. Walking from the house to my car makes me sad.

All that said, she's a great lady!!
