Honestly. You don’t know whether to laugh or cry: Outgoing Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius officially announced her resignation Friday, but just like the glitches that plagued the federal website for Obamacare – healthcare.gov – which she was responsible for, Sebelius experienced a glitch of her own when the last page of her speech went missing. “So the personal reward for me at the end of the day
The remarks that the students at Brandeis will not hear [Darleen Click]
In an extraordinary move of dhimmitude, Brandeis University withdrew its award of an honorary degree from Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Here is some of what she would have said in acceptance of the degree. One year ago, the city and suburbs of Boston were still in mourning. Families who only weeks earlier had children and siblings to hug were left with only photographs and memories. Still others were hovering over bedsides,
“‘This is our heaven’: Colorado couple fights to save land from eminent domain”
Appalling. Fundamentally un-American, in that it attacks one of the very anchors of our liberty: private property rights. And it’s most certainly unconstitutional — regardless of the execrable nonsense of the Kelo decision — along with a showy example of governmental power to bully the individual government was constructed to represent. We’ve fallen, and we can’t get up: “They’re spending us to death,” said landowner Andy Barrie. He is
“The New Inquisition”
VDH, in an iteration of things you’ve been hearing here and elsewhere for years. Still, it’s worth beating the drum some more — if we agree that the time for simply whining about it is over: What if you believed that the planet might not have warmed up the last two decades, even though carbon emissions reached all-time highs? Or, if the earth did heat up, you thought that it
“‘Dan Snyder is trying to buy the right to be racist.’ – Jesse Ventura”
You know what? The more I hear people like Ventura, or Hank Aaron, try to cash in on a tactic of using “racism” as a shaming mechanism, the more I realize that this country has become kind of a giant shithole lorded over by sanctimonious pricks who are looking to divide us in order to draw attention — and perhaps riches — to themselves. I’m not going to rehash the
“Suit Against SAFE Act Claims it Allows ‘Warrantless’ Police Searches”
No one is coming after your guns, wingnuts. Now shut up and stick that Fourth Amendment right up your Visigothic, Constitution-fetishizing asses. Washington Free Beacon: The registry process of New York’s SAFE Act allows for warrantless police searches into gun owners’ homes, a violation of the Fourth Amendment, according to plaintiffs of a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court Eastern District. The law firm representing plaintiff Gabriel Razzano argues the
LAUSD teacher suspended over students’ science projects [Darleen Click]
Zero tolerance over “may look too much like a weapon” extends into the science classroom Students and parents have rallied around Greg Schiller after his suspension in February from the downtown Cortines School of Visual & Performing Arts. Supporters have organized a rally on his behalf at the campus for Thursday, gathered hundreds of signatures on a petition calling for his reinstatement and set up a social media page. Schiller
“BREAKING: Emails Show Lois Lerner Fed True the Vote Tax Information to Democrat Elijah Cummings”
But don’t worry: Obama says the partisan, leftist political nature of such behavior by IRS officials and staffers is a “phony” claim. And he has a pen and a phone. So. Settled science! (h/t Di)
“Lerner emails show desire to work for Obama organization”
Well, the irony is, she already was. Just not officially. On the plus side, I guess when a slut desires to become a whore, there’s a kind of capitalistic progress to that. So, like, yes we can!
“IRS: 90% of Taxpayers Seek Help in Preparing Their Returns”
I’m sure this is just the kind of self-sufficiency and freedom from governmental intrusion the founders and framers were after. Dear USA: You’ve come a long way, baby! Unfortunately, you got the direction all wrong. Best you start doubling back, post haste. Or you’re going to be forever lost.
