Is the letter "t" next?


FOXNews.com - British Hospital Rolls Over on Hot-Cross Bun Ban : "at Poole Hospital in Dorset, England, where officials have banned hot-cross buns — a traditional Easter treat — for fear of upsetting non-Christians."
And who are these hateful "non-Christians"? Hindus? Rastas? Angry Presbyterians? Or those...you know...those Jews...
Certainly not those pastry loving Brits of the "religion of peace".

Short guys get screwed again!


....um, actually they don't get screwed.....as much as tall guys.....bummer...
How Dont I Love Thee? - TierneyLab - Science - New York Times Blog: "Similarly, according to the study, a 5-foot-0 guy would need to make $325,000 more than a 6-foot-0 man to be as successful in the online dating market. A 5-foot-4 man would need $229,000; a 5-foot-6 man would need $183,000; a 5-foot-10 man would need $32,000. And if that 6-foot-0 man wanted to do as well as a 6-foot-4 man, he’d need to make $43,000 more."

Peeps Rule!

What would be an "excusable" way to "off" the little woman?


How many good men are removing "butcher" from their resume on Harmony.com?

FOXNews.com - New York Butcher Sentenced to 23 Years to Life for Hacking Wife to Death - : " A butcher who hacked his wife to death on a Manhattan street with a boning knife because he thought she was cheating on him was sentenced Monday to 23 years to life in prison.
'Surely this was a culmination of anger at your wife because of your feelings of betrayal,' Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus said as he sentenced Sergio Parra, 28. 'You killed the mother of your daughter in such a brutal way that it is inexcusable.'"

Two America's?


Elizabeth Edwards says she is scared of the "rabid, rabid Republican" who owns property across the street from her Orange County home -- and she doesn't want her kids going near the gun-toting neighbor.
Edwards, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, particularly recalls the time neighbor Monty Johnson brought out a gun while chasing workers investigating a right of way near his property. The Edwards family has yet to meet Johnson in person.
"I wouldn't be nice to him, anyway," Edwards said in an interview.
"'I thought he was supposed to be for the poor people,' Johnson said. 'But does he ever socialize with any poor people? He doesn't speak to me.'"

Spartans forever


Ex-Spartans still best friends: "Steigenga was injured playing cardio tennis; Peplowski suffered an injury to his 'good' knee in a pickup game two years ago.
'It's funny how life moves on. We're two old guys now,' said Peplowski, 36. 'Sometimes, it's like nothing's changed since we were 15 -- except maybe our waistlines.'"

Wife in Cabinet meetings?

Now taxpayer money to pay for abortions?
Say, "bye, bye" Rudy.
He's done with GOPer primary voters.
McCain...gone
Rudy.... gone
Mitt... still hanging in.
Newt....Newt....Newt.....Newt......

CNN.com - CNN Political Ticker: "Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani told CNN Wednesday he supports public funding for some abortions, a position he advocated as mayor and one that will likely put the GOP presidential candidate at odds with social conservatives in his party."

Even less ejukatin' gonna be goin' on....

Board votes to close 34 Detroit schools during raucous meeting: "A chaotic scene that escalated after an audience member began throwing objects on stage nearly overshadowed the school board's vote to approve the closure of 34 city schools."

Amazing!

Amazing that CMU would overturn this policy. Even more amazing it had the policy in the first place!
FIRE - Victory for Freedom of Association at Central Michigan University: "In an important victory for free association, Central Michigan University (CMU) has revised a policy that banned ideological and political groups from “discriminating” on the basis of “political persuasion.” The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) urged CMU to change this policy after students who disagreed with the mission of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) student organization attempted to become members of the group in order to destroy it from the inside."

This should be funny..

..except we'll soon see cities and states forcing us taxpayers into "buying" these "offsets". The "tax of the future"!
Gore movie inspires 'carbon offsets' sales - Nashville, Tennessee - Wednesday, 04/04/07 - Tennessean.com: "Cochran buys offsets through Green Mountain Energy Co., one of several in a growing industry that has received a boost from the Gore movie.
Cochran paid the Austin-based company about $1,800 for 16 months of the offsets, with the money largely going to a wind energy project in the Midwest, she said."

A city suicidal

Minivan's rude introduction to Critical Smash: "Mayor Gavin Newsom said such acts of violence -- if true -- 'only serve to undermine the worthwhile message of Critical Mass, which is to raise the awareness of bike transportation issues.' "

Another reason to vote for Newt

What would the race-baiters do if their "people" could fend for themselves?

Newt, Bilingual Ed and the PC Police: "'The government should quit mandating that various documents be printed in any one of 700 languages depending on who randomly show up' [to vote] ... 'The American people believe English should be the official language of the government ... We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto. ... Citizenship requires passing a test on American history in English. If that's true, then we do not have to create ballots in any language except English.' "

How many times have we heard this one?

Bipartisan means good. Right? Yeah, tell me another story mommie.....
Lawmakers propose higher gas tax to improve Michigan roads: "Bipartisan legislation outlined Tuesday would raise the state's gasoline tax by 9 cents per gallon over three years, with backers saying it's time Michigan improve its deteriorating roads."

ISIL Channels » Blog Archive » Choosing education

ISIL Channels » Blog Archive » Choosing education: "America’s system of public education has earned an extraordinary distinction in comparison to the public schools of our international competitors. Only in America do we commit such egregious malpractice against our children that they actually get dumber every year they remain trapped in the public school monopoly."

Black helicopters tracking a global threat!



I'm thinking this won't happen in Texas. Gotta love the eco-libs choice of enforcement. Helicopters have the worst fuel efficiency of any mode of transport...except horse, ass, oxen.....
RIA Novosti - World - Belgium to impose tax on barbequing to fight global warming: "The government of Belgium's French-speaking region of Wallonia, which has a population of about 4 million, has approved a tax on barbequing, local media reported.
Experts said that between 50 and 100 grams of CO2, a so-called greenhouse gas, is emitted during barbequing. Beginning June 2007, residents of Wallonia will have to pay 20 euros for a grilling session.
The local authorities plan to monitor compliance with the new tax legislation from helicopters, whose thermal sensors will detect burning grills. "

Tom Edison=Earth Destroyer?


Lightbulb police in a city near you, soon?
Maybe they can use helicopters to track bulb use.
American Thinker: Ban the Bulb?: "And guess where the extra purchase prices for these CFLs will wind up? In the pockets of Chinese manufacturers, because not a single CFL is produced in the US.
And it gets worse. As Chinese manufacturers add enough manufacturing capacity to produce ten times as many CFLs , they will need several new coal-fired power plants to run the new factories. This comes on top of the already breathtaking pace today of construction in coal fired electric power plants in China - at a clip of one new plant every week. Don't even think about asking about what kind of pollution control will be operating on those Chinese plants.
A tax on poor people in the US so the Chinese can add more coal fired power plants. Now there's a bright idea.

There's even more to this story: one more dirty little secret that the greens won't tell you about.

CFLs contain mercury."

States sue Feds. We lose big time!

The Volokh Conspiracy - -: "The marquee case was Massachusetts v. EPA, in which the Court held, 5-4, that (a) states have standing to sue the EPA alleging injuries from climate change, (b) the EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases as 'pollutants' under the Clean Air Act, and (c) the EPA did not adequately justify its decision not to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles under the Act. On remand, the EPA must ground its decision whether to regulate greenhouse gas emissions on the nature and magnitude of the risk posed by climate change, as the CAA requires."
