From Wikipedia:

"Derbyshire has differed from his fellow writers at National Review on many subjects. For example, Derbyshire supported Michael Schiavo's position in the Terri Schiavo case, ridiculed George W. Bush's "itty-bitty tax cut, paid for by dumping a slew of federal debt on your children and grandchildren", has derided Bush in general for being too sure of his religious convictions and for his "rich-kid-ness", dismisses small-government conservatism as unlikely to ever take hold (although he is not unsympathetic to it), has called for immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq (but favored the invasion), opposes market reforms or any other changes in Social Security, is pro-choice on abortion, supports euthanasia in a fairly wide range of circumstances, and has suggested that he might (in a time of international crisis) vote for Hillary Clinton as president."

Except for the whole racial thing, he could sound like a fellow DUer (not saying he would be, of course, just that he has some interesting contrarian views).

But I would "Avoid Large Gatherings of All People" if that was my normal facial expression.

If I looked at people like that I could kind of understand why everyone would be ready to kick my ass.

The first I heard about his was commentary on his column in which he suggested that someone kill Chelsea before she could reproduce.
