Good Riddance

A small victory for common sense and parental rights in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

GLOUCESTER (AP) ― Two top officials at Gloucester High School's health center have resigned in a fight over contraceptives distribution.

Medical Director Dr. Brian Orr and chief nurse practitioner Kim Daly support confidentially giving contraceptives to students. They were outraged about resistance from Addison Gilbert Hospital and resigned Friday.

How dare anyone resist their "progressive" agenda and their efforts to give kids drugs without their parents' notification or consent! What kind of world are we be living in, when we can't even trust our government-run schools to give our children body-altering chemicals without our knowledge?

Seriously, these are the same hacks who will have your kids dragged out of school in handcuffs, facing felony drug charges, if you send them to school with a headache and two Advils in a Zip-Loc sandwich bag.

At least, these two did the right thing and resigned. I wonder how many parents in the area will be looking for a new pediatrician for their kids this week.

I know I'd be one of them.

No Contest

Marko asks: What’s the absolute worst book you’ve ever read?

That's a no-brainer. It's the only children's book I've ever tossed in the garbage after reading it just once to my kids. It's that bad.

CNN: Boeing 747 splits in two on take off

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- A large cargo plane crashed at the end of a runway and split in two while trying to take off Sunday at Brussels airport, authorities said.

I hate when that happens.

"The plane is very seriously damaged," [Brussles Airport spokesman Jan Van der Cruysse] said.

Fair assessment, I'd say.

Why Not?

...With Liberty and Justice For All...um...Cubans

If only Barack "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times" Obama would adopt a similar policy toward the Unites States of America.

"My policy toward Cuba will be guided by one word: 'libertad,' " he said, using the Spanish word for liberty at an event celebrating Cuban Independence Day in Miami, Florida.

UPDATE: Needless to say, when Obama says, "We can't drive our SUVs ... as much as we want...", he's not including the Obama family in his definition of "we".

Can't Spell "Maxine Waters" without M-A-R-X-I-S-T

Wow.

Not the brightest bulb on the tree, either.

Must Have Been One Small Car

AP: Car full of weapons lands US soldier in Mexican jail

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — When he crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, Spc. Richard Torres was carrying a small arsenal in his car: an AR-15 assault rifle, a .45-caliber handgun, 171 rounds of ammunition, several cartridges and three knives.

It's amazing the guy could even see out the back window with that arsenal piled up as high as it was. And, I guess that means I've got half a carload of weapons on my person right now.

Eeeek!

Barack Obama, Freedom Fighter

Literally.

Pitching his message to Oregon's environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to "lead by example" on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.

Stick it in your ass, Comrade.

If I wanna drive my V-8 truck up the road to Burger King, buy half a dozen Triple Whopper combos, leave the truck idling in the driveway when I get home, eat dinner inside with my thermostat jacked up to 95, and chase my last mouthful of fries with a double-shot of liquefied trans fats, guess what?

a. I'm gonna.
b. There isn't a fucking thing you can do about it.
c. I won't give a gopher's busted cunt if I offend some Belgians' delicate sensibilities in the process.

Watch This Space

I've got a stellar PSH-laden bit forthcoming right here.

UPDATE: This is from The Morning Show With Mike and Juliet. I just happened upon this clip, as the wife left the TV tuned into FOX to watch their American Idol coverage this morning.

(side note: Thank God that annoying Arugula kid didn't win)

There's some beautiful commentary a little more than three minutes in from their panel of "experts" discussing Drew Peterson's recent arrest on felony gun charges. I'd offer more commentary on the "brilliance" of Jeanine Pirro, but I'm not sure, given the way things are today, if the term "stupid cow" is racist or not.



My standard apology for the crappy quality video applies, as does my money-back guarantee for anyone dissatisfied with it.

How Did I Miss This One

You all remember our good friend, New Hampshire State Representative Nickolas Levasseur, the irrationally anti-gun Obama cultist who likes to stalk and kill Republicans in his spare time.

Well, it turns out he's also the President of the Student Government Association at UNH-Manchester, an organization that's found itself in a little bit of trouble with the University as of late.

UNH-Manchester Student Government Suspended

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- The Student Government Association at the University of New Hampshire-Manchester has found itself locked out of its offices.

University Dean Kristin Woolever said school officials recently discovered the 16-year-old association may not have been chartered properly.

She said she shut down the group May 1 because it was wrongly allowing part-time students to run for office.

Association officers said Woolever is actually concerned about students speaking their mind.

Money quote:

President Nickolas Levasseur said the association loudly opposed the university's requiring students without health care coverage to buy $1,400-a-year policies through the school.

But, I thought the idea of forcing people to purchase health care coverage, whether they want it or not, was at the pinnacle of "progressive" health care policy?

Perhaps, what "Rep. Nikoli" has a problem with is the fact that the University isn't planning on extorting money from the wealthier residents of Durham and Manchester, to pay for it, instead.

Because that would be the most "fair" way to do it.

God Bless New Hampshire

Have I mentioned before that I love this state?

EPPING – The owner of Joker Fireworks Inc. has moved one step closer to opening the first fireworks retail store in Epping.

Selectmen voted Monday night to allow the town administrator to sign off on a permit allowing the sale of permissible fireworks as soon as Joker Fireworks has the necessary approvals from the building inspector and state Fire Marshal.

[...]

Selectmen expressed no concern about the sale of fireworks and no neighbors turned out to speak against the plan last night.

My Kids Crack Me Up

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Interrupting cow.

Interrupting...

Moooooo!!!

Getting Ready

It would stand to reason that if you're planning on playing the "We Wuz Cheated" card in November, you'll want your PR people to start laying the groundwork as early as possible.

Barack Obama the Gunslinger?

Well, he's slinging something.

"I believe in the Second Amendment...

No.

No you don't.

You believe in the liberal, collectivist version of the Second Amendment. You would have the American public believe that our Founding Fathers went out of their way to ensure that the new government of the United States would have the "right" to maintain a monopoly on the dispensation of deadly force over a weaker, disarmed citizenry.

Four words: Cold. Dead. Hands. Bitch.

...and if you are a lawful gun owner in this state...

...having complied with all the new gun control laws I plan on signing as President, including some "reasonable regulations" I have in mind, patterned on Washington DC's "common sense" gun ban and New Orleans' wholesale confiscation of lawfully-owned firearms.

...you have nothing to fear from the Obama administration.

Just as soon as your "re-education" is complete and you're all transformed into mindless, collectivist automatons like the throngs of people already I've already got worshiping at the Altar of Hope and Change.

I think people have a right to bear arms...

And, I think you're a lying whore.

But, then again, you've received more endorsements from known terrorist organizations than either of your opponents, so what do I know?
