Fortuitous timing:

If you are a gun control advocate that is:

School shooting in Centennial Colorado:

WTF is it with suburbs of Denver? Must be the overwhelming amounts of liberals there or something.

So interesting that this happened JUST BEFORE the “anniversary” of Newtown…isn’t it?  Coinicidences seem to be piling up.

The sad part is that for many, it will tug at their heartstrings and make them want to Do Something to Stop It. And few will suspect that they are being manipulated.

ETA: goes very well with THIS observation about news reporting from yesterday.

Shades of Vince Foster

Loretta Fuddy, the person who approved the release of Barry’s Birth Certificate was the only fatality in a plane crash on Wed.

All other passengers received only “non life threatening injuries and survived.

INteresting, Innit?

My bad

ETA: (9:22 pm) I am informed by people I trust and who really DO know what they are talking about that this was likely a heart attack caused by exertion after the crash or a similar issue. older person, overweight and not in good shape…not what it looks like at first glance. 

My bad. Sorry

Shaping opinions

Taking a moment today to watch the national news (Hey, it was on and I was in the same room as a TV for a few minutes) I couldn’t help but notice that there were SEVERAL stories about “Gun Death Tragedies” and how these could be prevented with more legislation, especially “in the wake of the Newtown Tragedy that happened nearly a year ago”.

The left is really trying to ramp up the rhetoric prior to the one year “anniversary” of the event.

But, really while children (or any) gun deaths are a tragedy (I learned from NBC that over 175 children were killed in accidental shootings when children found their parents unsecured firearms, so we need some king of legislation to prevent this, and that somehow it would have prevented Newtown, can’t you feel your heart beating?) one would ask, why not start looking at other causes of deaths for children?

The bias and shaping of opinion is so obvious. The fact that this is used in a major news media (even if it is NBC) is scary to me…not because they use it, but that they think that it will work on enough voters that they will run such a biased story and they think that they can get away with it(or that the obvious bias won’t matter to the population they are serving, which is even more scary.

No brain at all today

Too tired. 6 hours sleep in 72.

Must be I am getting old. Can’t function well on 2 hours of sleep a day anymore.

Read the folks on the left…they are smarter and more erudite than me anyway.

more later when I can get 6 or more in a row.

Wonder why they want to leave???

So it seems that a subset of the population of Baton Rouge La. wants to form their own city…so they can have their own school district (the official reason).

But one wonders…they are the more affluent section of the greater Baton Rouge municipality…they pay a higher amount of taxes, they are majority white, and likely are tired of paying more for less….More taxes for less school, etc.

The rest of the greater Baton Rouge civic leaders, of course, oppose this move. They don’t want the loss of revenue that the creation of the new city will cause.

Because the proposed new city will be majority white the entire move is, of course, racist. How dare these white folk not want to waste their money on crappy schools and crappy services? How dare they? These folks have all the money and they don’t want to share it….How unfair.

Of course it isn’t “White Flight” it is middle class flight….

I expect to see more and more of this.

Buying votes

Yer government spent 10,500,000,000 dollars to buy the votes of union members at GM and subsidiaries.

That is $10.5 Billion dollars to keep them working and keep their union benefits. And, of course, to keep the support of the UAW and other autoworkers unions (and their members).

In selling this stock (at a loss, of course) they also removed all controls over what GM pays it’s executives. So they can count on that campaign support as well for the DNC types.

I really have no issue with them buying votes….but I do when it is (partially) my (borrowed from the chinese) money they are doing it with. I’d rather have seen them allow GM to buy it back at the price that we paid for it over a few years (plus interest, of course) than take a loss like this.

SO:

Where were all these folks who are currently lining up to get their faces in front of the worlds cameras praise Nelson Mandela when he was alive?

Why didn’t we hear anything about how good a man he was/freedom fighter/reformed terrorist saint/inspiration to us all, etc. BEFORE he died?

(This is not meant to denigrate Mr. Mandela, but rather to show the hypocrisy of the rest of them.)

Principal John Horton apparently grew up without testicles

’cause otherwise his treatment of a 10 year old boy under his supervision would not have made national news because he would have understood that 10 year old boys will, after all, act like boys.  Or maybe he grew up in a “Progressive” household wherein his mommy saw no need for a male except to donate sperm, so he is a beta type feminized version of male animal.

The feminization of our schools is getting out of hand. Drugging boys so they will act more like girls at that age is insane. And a principal not being able to deal with a situation like this when reported to him by a female teacher shows he is lacking in both leadership attributes and testosterone. “Zero Tolerance” is not meant for such situations, and it is applied wrongly here.

If we train all the boy/man behavior out of boys, then who will the women mate with in the next generation? They are already complaining that there are not enough decent men out there. Yet their sisters in the teaching profession (and I include the above mentioned principal in that group) are making even fewer boys that will turn into men for their daughters….
