Following the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the death of Trayvon Martin, the race pimps are working overtime trying to gin up racial tensions. Al Sharpton is planning marches in 100 cities (on top of the protests that have already occurred), and Melissa Harris-Perry is playing the victim card. Of course, they both work for NBC, which is being sued by Zimmerman for defamation. Given the facts of the case, charges never should have been brought to begin with. Of course, don’t let facts get in the way, because Trayvon only had Skittles on him. Apparently Skittles makes somebody innocent? Of course, as we know, Martin was no saint, but was a thug who instigated the confrontation. The new line from the left is that Trayvon never would have died had Zimmerman not had a gun (but don’t bother asking whether Zimmerman would have died). Another media myth is that this case was about Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which it was not. On a related note, why is Joshua Chellew less important than Trayvon Martin?
After the Zimmerman-Martin issue, here’s a palate cleanser. This is a wonderful story.

A pranked TV station in San Francisco reported the names of the pilots of the crashed Asiana flight 214 as “Captain Sum Ting Wong,” “Wi Tu Lo,” “Ho Lee Fuk,” and “Bang Ding Ow.” Apparently they got the information from a rogue NTSB intern. Asiana Airlines will sue the TV station.
A new study indicates that ObamaCare will reduce employment, but the surprise (to some) is that people will stop looking for a job when they don’t have to earn their own insurance. Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced legislation to defund ObamaCare, which is a good start, but probably won’t happen until at least 2015.
