Remember that story about how the swim club in Philly kicked out a group of minority kids that had rented the place and then said "racist?" "Who, us?"  
Yes, you.Cost of excluding one kid: $50K (paid to the state).  
It's a shame that the lunacy of Glenn Beck et al so dominates our national discourse, because since the shrub left office it seems like these kinds of stories are becoming more frequent, if underreported.

It's been, I think, one of the great unchallenged truths of the conservative mythos that St. Ronald and his Star Wars plan bankrupted the Soviets.  Well, it turns out that that wasn't true at all, really,  Reagan's role was considerably less than his hagiographers would have us believe. Nobody could have predicted this, of course.
