Just like the Founders and Framers would have wanted! A kindergartner who threw a tantrum at her small-town Georgia school was taken away in handcuffs, her arms behind her back, in an episode that is firing up the debate over whether teachers and police around the country are overreacting all too often when dealing with disruptive students. — Wait, this needs to be “debated”?  This was a six-year-old girl not

I think what Stacy meant to say is that an undocumented worker who shares our desire for liberty borrowed the identity of a white male of patriarchal privilege who was greedily hoarding the thing (it’s not like a five-year-old is opening credit card accounts or buying liquor, and if he’s voting, he can safely do that without an ID anyway) — and now the poor oppressed dear is facing criminal

Meaning, random Republican pols will be blindsided by a cynical, activist press “concerned” with the GOP response to some Bishop’s homily in addition to private citizen and rock star Ted Nugent’s “death threats”. Without that same activist press ever once worrying themselves over, eg., Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s suggestion that Republicans “literally” want to return the nation to the days of Jim Crow. Journalism. **** update: By the way, was Nugent’s

Class warfare and the potential for a Democrat takeover of the House, despite the strong and spirited leadership of Republicans, led by John Boehner:  Two great tastes that taste great together! A few quick words for Rep Israel, if I may: the money you claim Republicans are “giving away” without “paying for it” isn’t yours — and so letting people keep it is only costing you inasmuch as you believe

New personal bests tonight on the one-hand and two-hand deadlift on the Plateau Buster handle:  310# with the right hand (failed at 300# with the left); and 520# two-handed, first attempt after successful 500# lift. I did 5 sets x10 of 300# swings to warm up.    

…but I wanted to leave you with this:  at a $50K per plate fundraiser on Sunday, Mitt Romney told the rest of the “severe conservatives” supporting him that he’s already got the “true believers” — that is, those who watch FOXNews, according to Romney’s characterization — and now we need to move beyond them and concentrate on bringing in the “women” and the “independents” (who are, apparently, necessarily separate species).

And yet, Fluke doesn’t argue that the government should be promoting abstinence as a form of preventive care — just that it should provide for both the cake and the eating. Imagine!

For those who follow such things: An attorney representing Barack Obama has argued in court to prevent the long-form birth certificate image that was released by the White House nearly a year ago from being placed into evidence. It was on April 10 at a three-hour eligibility hearing before a New Jersey administrative law judge that the argument came from Alexandra Hill. She is legal counsel representing Obama’s re-election campaign,

In the wake of Whistleblower Susan Brita’s testimony, Rep John Mica discusses the White House’s role in keeping the scandal quiet. “Journalist” Soledad O’Brien reacts with barely concealed contempt that this Republican would accuse the Greatest and Most Transparent Administration in the History of Ever of engaging in some sort of cover up. — That being something completely beyond the realm of possibility, evidently.
