UC Berkeley Professor says Koch Brothers not devil incarnate — Leftist media hack left stunned [Darleen Click]
Richard Muller speaking with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria FAREED ZAKARIA, HOST: Your funding, some of your funding came from the Koch brothers who are famously anti-global warming, or believe that it isn’t happening.

“Many gays don’t realize what a blessing it was to be reared in a traditional home.” [Darleen Click]
Robert Oscar Lopez: Growing up with two moms Quite simply, growing up with gay parents was very difficult, and not because of prejudice from neighbors. People in our community didn’t really know what was going on in the house. To most outside observers, I was a well-raised, high-achieving child, finishing high school with straight A’s. Inside, however, I was confused. When your home life is so drastically different from everyone

How will the US Army fight you?
Big brother is watching. And he’ll be damned if you upstart revolutionaries pull a “fuck you, King George” on him: A key and understudied aspect of full spectrum operations is how to conduct these operations within American borders.

Margin Call
Let me slip this clip up before the day’s posting. If you haven’t seen this film, do so. It is remarkable. Then extrapolate. #OccupyStealItBack? No; this is not that. Never once in history or in forecast has reform been stolen back from theft. But reform? As necessary, and as difficult, as curing cancer. UPDATE: RUSH: You know, there’s a movie you ought to go see. I like this movie so

Collateral damage? Or just Jeebus people getting thin-skinned again? [Darleen Click]
This just in from Anne Sorock of a group of fabulous gay hipsters of pallor surrounding and harassing an old black man reading a Bible… … now that’s the stuff that will win hearts and minds!

So many myths, so little time [Darleen Click]
Reason on why American athletes wearing Chinese-made uniforms at the Olympics is a good thing “I’m so upset,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “Take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile, and burn them….We have people in the textile industry who are desperate for jobs.” Here, Reid demonstrates economic cluelessness. It seems logical that Americans lose if American clothing is made overseas. But that’s nonsense. First, it’s
