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….

Play stupid games

Win stupid prizes:

So Serial Liar Dayna Morales has been fired from her job where she (allegedly) lied about the tip left to her by a couple in which thre was no money, but a denigration of her lifestyle. (which leads to the question: Hw did they know she was gay?…They might have suspected, bur really).

All I can say is: Good.

Question: anyone really understand the motivation for lying or (if actually true, which I doubt) making the whole incident public? Other than turning over a “victim” card, what did what really accomplish? Is she still stuck in her high school days where she was picked on because she was “different” and can’t accept the fact that in 2013, no one cares?

We interrupt your day

So you can remember what people heard on their radio this day, so long a go:

Remember those who gave their all this day in 1942 1941.

and all those who did so after in the defense of their country.

I’ll be damned

It would seem that, if there is enough publicity, that even a police officer can be fired if his behavior is bad enough, and enough people can see it.

Remember officer Elias Montoya? Yeah, he’s the guy that shot at a minivan full of kids after the mom driving it refused to submit to the orders of one of Montoya’s fellow officers.

SHOT AT A VAN FULL OF KIDS BECAUSE THE DRIVER WOULDN’T FOLLOW ORDERS. Not a reason to use deadly force.Had this been you or me, we’d have been in jail for misuse of deadly force…maybe attempted murder.

He got suspended while they waited to see if things would cool down…which they didn’t. 

But at least he got fired. It is a start. Accountability for Police officers is as (or more) important as accountability for regular citizens.

Blame someone else

It is obviously not the fault of the police that POLICE bullets from POLICE guns fired by the hands of the POLICEMEN after being removed from the holsters worn on the belts of their POLICE uniforms struck and injured 2 passersby

Nope it must be the fault of the person that the POLICE were shooting at (and whom they missed).

This sort of thing happens all the time to a lesser degree across the United States all the time, wherein police screw the pooch make mistakes and blame it on someone else.
