The NSA is so out of control that they were using their surveillance powers to spy on love interests. Meanwhile, Facebook says that governments demanded data on 38,000 users. I’m guessing that there were zero warrants involved.
As America prepares (and the Labor Department braces itself) for the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington, there has been a disturbing amount of discussion of race lately given that the anniversary is of a speech where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream that his children would be “judged, not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Most of that discussion is coming from the left, who used Trayvon Martin as a left-wing martyr and turned George Zimmerman into a neo-Nazi for defending himself. Now, as some are reporting black-on-white crime, professional race pimp Toure’ (who is apparently also too good for a last name—maybe that’s too white?) says that mentioning these crimes are a “vile new tactic” of the right in an attempt to make a point about race in America. Meanwhile, if white-on-black racism is so bad, why do blacks have to make up cases of racism?
So let me get this straight: We’re probably about to start bombing Syria (because all Democrat Presidents have to find somebody to uselessly bomb in their second terms) because the French want to punish them for chemical weapons, even though there’s not conclusive proof of which side used the chemical weapons, and we’re not going to attempt regime change. Did I get that all right? Because none of it makes a bit of sense. Sadly, it seems like Dennis Kucinich may have it right when he says that we’re about to become “Al Qaeda’s Air Force.”
Durable goods orders were down 7.3% in July, which spells bad news for the economy and especially for businesses. Only 5% of Americans have really experienced a recovery in the Obama economy, and they’re the top 5%.
All 25,000 students who took the entrance exam for the University of Liberia failed, so they will not have a freshman class this year. In the United States, they would just be admitted and allowed to fail through affirmative action policies in the name of “diversity” and “fairness.”
Obama’s Treasury Secretary says that there will be no negotiating with Republicans over the debt ceiling. Meanwhile, the debt hasn’t changed in 100 days through what seems like fishy accounting practices.
Yes, the FBI allowed the Fort Hood “act of workplace violence” to happen through negligence.
The state of California is considering taking away the tax-exempt status from the Little League and Boy Scouts. Meanwhile, in Sacramento County, the health department is offering take-home STD tests. Priorities, you know.
A vaccine-fearing Texas megachurch has learned their lesson after an outbreak of measles. There is also a fear of measles after a child contracted it and went to a restaurant in Seattle, and even dolphins are dying of measles. If you’re not vaccinating, you are a danger to others, and an idiot. Morons like Jenny McCarthy are filling peoples’ heads with crap to scare them, and the result is that third-world diseases that had been wiped out in America are coming back.
Lots of federal employees are retiring. Sounds like a good opportunity to not replace them.
Some school districts are quitting Michelle Obama’s healthier lunch program because the kids say that the food “tastes like vomit.”
Alabama football fans are apparently getting bored with all the winning. I don’t understand this at all.
This is the explanation for the name of my Fantasy Football team.
It turns out that talking on the phone while driving isn’t dangerous after all.
A couple in Oregon is celebrating their 80th anniversary. Good for them.
It’s a good thing that Larry Sanders is a good basketball player, because he’s both unemployable and too stupid for a real job.
A dachshund survived a house fire without injury. I love stories like this.
Zurich, Switzerland now has taxpayer-funded “sex boxes” for prostitutes.
Some kids in California stretched clear tape across a road, injuring a motorcyclist. Apparently this is a new popular prank.
Government schools are banning cheerleaders from wearing their uniforms in school because they violate dress codes.
A cat’s life was saved with dog’s blood. Isn’t this one of those signs of the end times in the Bible?
A Darwin, Australia man earned himself a Darwin Award by trying to swim across a crocodile-infested river.
California state lawmakers are trying to criminalize “revenge porn.” The lesson of this story is simply not to take naked pictures of yourself.
Samsung may start the “smart watch” war next week. I think this just sounds weird.
Singapore’s Scott Airlines are going to start offering child-free sections for a fee. I’d prefer child-free flights, but this is a start.
