At what point in time did it become necessary to tell teachers to wear underwear? [Darleen Click]

Did Little Rock experience a rash of Sharon Stone wannabes? The school district in Little Rock, Ark. has announced plans for a dress code that will require teachers to wear underwear. Every single day. Female teachers will have to wear bras, too. An Aug. 29 letter from the Little Rock School District’s Office of the Superintendent to all employees explains that the dress code will officially go into effect in

“Obama administration had restrictions on NSA reversed in 2011” [Darleen Click]

WaPo The Obama administration secretly won permission from a surveillance court in 2011 to reverse restrictions on the National Security Agency’s use of intercepted phone calls and e-mails, permitting the agency to search deliberately for Americans’ communications in its massive databases, according to interviews with government officials and recently declassified material. In addition, the court extended the length of time that the NSA is allowed to retain intercepted U.S. communications

Predictable … [Darleen Click]

Southern California in the middle of a triple digit heat wave … and the compressor on our air conditioner dies. Gaia laughs.

“Let’s face it: The US job market is dead in the water and not getting better”

Okay. Consider it done. But really, Jim, is this new?

“For now, the tide of Syria battle in Congress is running against Obama”

Unfortunately — and this is the cynic in me talking — that will probably turn once, say,  John Boehner pulls his best Bernie Bernbaum, squirts a few crocodile tears, and explains the political repercussions of not acting to sanction Obama’s attempt to wag the dog and save face on an ill-timed remark about red lines that of course he never made, and even if he did, it wasn’t him. Everything

“Levinomics for America”

While deep-thinking pragmatics continue to express concern that Mark Levin’s call for a reinvigoration of the Constitution could at least appear provocative and, well, unhelpful — it’s no so much the ideas that bother these people so much as it is the appearance of presumptuousness implicit in introducing and arguing for them, and we need to be careful not to alienate moderates etc., by being seen as wanting to reshape

“Egyptian Newspaper Depicts President Obama as the Devil”

Those ingrates.  And after The Great and Power Obaz helped the Muslim Brotherhood come to power and clean out the vermin, the pigs and dogs, the Coptic Christians, and all the offenses against Allah (like for instance, adherence to a stable constitution of sorts) that a lost Egyptian populace had been engaging in. After he used his skill at apologizing for America’s sins to bring about the Islamist revival that

“Democrats Flock to War”

Let me just preface this by saying that it wasn’t too long ago now when then Senators Kerry, Hagel, and Biden, along with Hillary Clinton, were singing the praises of Assad (or at least, lecturing on the use of diplomacy) — with the putative Democrat frontrunner for the 2016 presidential nomination going so far as to call him a “reformer.” It’s true!  I have video — and it wasn’t even

“The Only Way to Restore Trust in the NSA”

Bruce Schneier, writing in the Atlantic: I’ve recently seen two articles speculating on the NSA’s capability, and practice, of spying on members of Congress and other elected officials. The evidence is all circumstantial and smacks of conspiracy thinking — and I have no idea whether any of it is true or not — but it’s a good illustration of what happens when trust in a public institution fails. The NSA

“Colorado Democrat Says Self Defense Is ‘Absurd’ and ‘Frivolous'”

How ridiculous is this notion that one carry a fire arm for “self-defense.”  The truth is — and we all know this — you can’t protect yourself from hardened, predatory criminals, many of whom are, well, you know — dangerous and aggressive minorities.  Best to just shit yourself and hope the stench drives them off.  Or, if you’re being raped, tried to pee on your assailant.  On the off chance
