“Whether that’s the implied intent, that’s the way it comes across” [Darleen Click]
This is usually Jeff’s beat, but Oh.Good.Lord. A group of students at a California high school basketball game were told to remove patriotic bandanas and stop chanting “USA, USA” because school administrators wanted to be sensitive to other spectators. […] The incident occurred during a basketball last week between Camarillo High School and Rio Mesa High School in Ventura County. A school administrator pulled aside four boys and told them

“Fort Hood Hero Says President Obama ‘Betrayed’ Her, Other Victims
ABC News (of all places!): Three years after the White House arranged a hero’s welcome at the State of the Union address for the Fort Hood police sergeant and her partner who stopped the deadly shooting there, Kimberly Munley says President Obama broke the promise he made to her that the victims would be well taken care of. “Betrayed is a good word,” former Sgt. Munley told ABC News in

“EXCLUSIVE: Funeral Held for N.Y. Elementary Teacher Who Died After Abortion”
Because the progressive mainstream media doesn’t find abortion deaths particularly newsworthy, I guess. Why this is so is anyone’s guess. Viral Read (h/t RSM): A 10 AM service was held this morning at New York’s Holy Name of Jesus Church for 29 year-old Kindergarten teacher Jennifer McKenna Morbelli. ViralRead was on the scene. Morbelli died Thursday at Shady Grove Hospital in suburban Montgomery County, Md., after undergoing a late-term abortion

Rejoinders: Rubio, Rand Paul respond to Obama’s string of cliches, rhetorical tricks, empty platitudes, and empty promises
Objection! Your headline is leading the witness! Fine. I’ll rephrase. Senators Marco Rubio and Rand Paul give their responses to Obama’s SOTU Address, Rubio’s on behalf of the GOP, Paul’s on behalf of the TEA Party Express. Also, Obama is a liar and a con man. Not to mention a dirty dirty Marxist who sports mom jeans and hasn’t a fucking clue how to hold a rifle. First, here’s Rubio:

Thoughts on Obama’s historic SOTU Address
I have none. I didn’t watch it. But my wife and I did win Trivia Night at the local brew pub. So go us!

SOTU open thread
I won’t be watching. Because I have my dignity. And that trumps having a political blog. Besides, who doesn’t know in advance what Obama is going to say? But knock yourselves out.

“Food Stamp Rolls in America Now Surpass the Population of Spain”
Sadly, this is one of his real achievements that, were this President at all honest about his actual liberal fascist agenda — which is to grow the government and expand federal power, ally himself with big corporate interests, shrink the middle class, destroy small business, hamstring the private sector, and create a permanent dependent class that will keep voting “in their economic interests” — he would be boasting about this

“Obama to argue against spending cuts, call for more tax hikes”
Which was a given. Because he’s a Marxist, and his aim is to expand the federal government while repeatedly kneecapping the private sector economy. And he’ll use any lies or deceptions he thinks he and his media enablers can sell in order to do so. Hardly a story. But this is: anybody want to place odds on whether its Rubio or Rand Paul who first notes that the “one-time” stimulus
