So said Michael Shulan, creative director of the museum at Ground Zero when he wanted to exclude the iconic Tom Franklin photograph. Too kitschy and “rah-rah America.” Eventually, chief curator Jan Ramirez proposed a compromise, Greenspan writes. The Franklin shot was minimized in favor of three different photos via three different angles of the flag-raising scene. “Several images undercut the myth of ‘one iconic moment,’ Ramirez said, and suggest instead

Planned Parenthood’s closing of three clinics in Texas — Now, the rest of the story [Darleen Click]
Just last week, on the day the law restricting late-term abortion and tightening medical requirements for clinics was signed, Planned Parenthood announced it was closing three clinics blaming all the hostile #WarOnWomen suspects: “In recent years, Texas politicians have created an increasingly hostile environment for providers of reproductive health care in underserved communities. Texans with little or no access to health care services have been deeply affected by state budget

Pravda media alert: ABC News gives juror B29 the NBC ‘Zimmerman treatment’ [Darleen Click]
Guess ABC News producers feel they’re immune to lawsuits When it comes to the sins committed by the mainstream media in their 18-month crusade to accomplish a media-lynching of George Zimmerman, we have seen countless new lows in an ocean of new lows (including ABC News — more on that below). Thanks to our own reporting and Slate’s William Saletan, we appear to have found another low — this time

“First Lady: Barack’s Working to Free Americans from ‘Any Form of Public Assistance'”
Yes, that’s a direct quote. That is, if you can trust the wingnuts at CNS News. Which I’m not sure you can, given that they are, of political necessity, waging a war on both women and minorities. And the elderly. And autistic children. But let’s just give them the benefit of the doubt for moment. Which would prompt the next question, “is this lady fucking serious?” I mean, once you

This is what $100K in student loan dept is buying you, parents. Rejoice!
Students sign petition to legalize 4th trimester abortion. Which, for those of you liberal arts majors unwilling to be oppressed by the rigid patriarchal certitude of mathematics, comes down to legalizing abortion up to and including on “fetuses” who are up to 3-months old, swadled in Gund blankets and crapping real poop, not that early-days black tar that the wretched little punishments are wont to do. It’s all about choice,

Levin channels pw: “The formal position of the Republican Party — not it’s propaganda […] is in favor of ObamaCare.”
He went on, noting “I hate to break that to you, but it’s the actions that you look at, not the words you listen to.” And he’s right, though regulars of this site — the “pessimistic, downer site” that has caused so many chirping GOP-boosters to run screaming from the daily Visigothy — aren’t hearing this for the first time. What brought Levin to state this so bluntly, using words

Engaging in ‘dangerous thoughts’; widows and orphans hardest hit … [Darleen Click]
NJ Governor Chris Christie, vying to be the next The New York Times “Republican” posterboy, engages in the kind of emotional demagoguery usually spewed by Leftwinger Nanny Statists. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had blunt words of criticism for those in the Republican party who take a turn to the libertarian way of thinking: That’s dangerous. He made the comments Thursday in the context of speaking about victims and families

Holder to sue yet another state. For the post-partisanship and post-racialism.
Unfortunately for Holder and ObamaCo, this time that state is Texas — and they don’t seem to be in the mood to be used as yet another Obama vibrator. First, Holder’s agenda: Two important developments this morning. First: Attorney General Eric Holder will announce that the Justice Department will initiate broad nationwide attacks on election integrity measures like Voter ID using the remaining portions of the Voting Rights Act.

“La Raza In Line To Pocket Reform-Bill Slush Funds”
We’ve talked a bit about how ethnic front groups and community activist groups benef from both hidden provisions in ObamaCare and now the “comprehensive immigration reform” bill, but never really in much depth. To that end, I’ll quote at length from an IBD piece by M Stanton Evans, which I’ve been meaning to do for several days now. Racialism and censorship, sadly, took my eye off the legislative ball —
