Jim Newell: One time in 1991, when Obama was serving as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, he spoke affably of the first black tenured Harvard Law professor, Derrick Bell, while he was peacefully protesting the lack of diversity on Harvard’s faculty. And then Obama hugged him. He might as well have [...]

Since the new improved Breitbart site has only been up a few days, and since I don’t think anyone is totally wedded to the overall new look and feel of the site, I took it upon myself to whip up a new logo/icon/avatar/favicon for them (to replace the one seen above)  that more accurately reflects [...]
