   I love Schiller going off on how raaaaacist the Tea Partiers and hijacked Republican party are, and then in the same conversation noting how Juan Williams is compromised. The hypocrisy is far thicker than organic blue agave syrup. I am sure Schiller would have climbed under that table and “serviced” those Muslim donors if he though that would have clinched the $5 million donation.

   Nice of NPR to throw Jews under the bus.

   I am sure it is just a coincidence that Schiller has recently bailed from NPR to digs just west of Jeff at the Aspen Institute.

   Does anyone actually think that the current House will KILL ELMO AND RAPE BIG BIRD over this kerfuffle caused by a racist, felonious teabagging SOB? Because from where I sit, our current legislators consists of morons and pussies.

   “Muslim Brotherhood”

   Just sounds so peaceful dudn’t it? I mean it’s got the word “brotherhood” right in there.

   So they’re like monks making cheese and stuff I guess.

   Hewitt was in fine form yesterday, ranting and raving about the disingenuousness of NPR’s claims to being unbiased and stuff. He was only dissecting that one woman’s speech, not the O’Keefe vids, which hadn’t been released yet.

   NPR’s hypocrisy is far thicker than organic blue agave syrup, but it is bitter and not at all sweet.

   As per usual, the tape is ‘heavily edited’ and not consistent with NPR values….BULLSHIT. I’m not even sure THEY believe this anymore. Well, yeah, they do, but the heavily medicated amongst them can’t, right? RIGHT???

   We’re boned

   I’d bet that if every restaurant table in D.C. was bugged , we’d hear the same sentiments at half of them, at least.

    not consistent with NPR values

    The vaunted Edward R. Murrow NPR? That NPR? Cause that’d be impossible. QED.

    I know Jho, impossible right? Either I’m on drugs or they are…or he was…or maybe we all are and they aren’t?

    Hold me???

    A schoolwide discussion about race and inappropriate language led students at Chicago’s Hancock High School to post fliers on campus that listed 15 specific ethnic or racial slurs that students should not use.

    The fliers, and accompanying poster, asked students to “please participate in the ‘No Derogatory Language Campaign'” at the Southwest Side school. But after other students complained, school officials agreed to take down the fliers, said Principal Pamela Glynn.

    I can’t promise not to say 3, or 7, or 11 through 14.

    And I named my dog 8, so that’s just not going to happen.
