Illegal use of yourself?

Posted by Moonage on 09 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Political Correctness

This story has me somewhat perplexed:
NEWARK, Ohio —  Central Ohio authorities have filed felony charges against a 15-year-old girl accused of taking nude cell phone photos of herself and sending them to high school classmates.
Police say the Newark Licking Valley student was arrested Friday and held over the weekend. On Monday, she entered denials to juvenile [...]

Almost two years ago, I warned Nancy Pelosi what would happen if they jerked around with the minimum wage without adjusting other funding to account for it.  She’s a stubborn old bag and didn’t listen.  They promptly crammed it through Congress.
July 1, minimum wage went up 70 cents.  That’s about a 13% increase.
One month later, [...]

Jury acquits Jose Luis Nazario

Posted by Moonage on 29 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: Political Correctness

This to me is one of the biggest legal travesties I’ve witnessed in a long time.  Jose Luis Nazario served his country in the marines.  He saw basically hand to hand combat.  He got shot at.  He shot at others.  He did all the things normally expected during live combat in a war where the [...]

Profiling

Got this via email, I’ve sort of touched on this in the past.  No need “Scoping” it, I’ve left off the part that goes over the top:
In the event you’ve missed this - worse forgotten it, a gentle reminder!!
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality That they imagine that America can suffer [...]

Schoolkids and discipline

Posted by Moonage on 20 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: Political Correctness, Polls

CNN is running a survey that means something:
Should corporal punishment be banned in schools?
Yes, 44%, 61725
No, 56%, 80104
Total Votes: 141829
Now, I’m with the No’s on this one.  I come from the pre-ban days when teachers just whipped the fire out of kids.  However, it wasn’t really like a scene from The Wall.  My first introduction [...]

The root of a cause…. Wall-E

Posted by Moonage on 14 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day, Opinions, People, Political Correctness

Here’s the story:
Overweight viewers are protesting the film’s depiction of a world ruined by “doughy and lazy folk who drink liquid cupcakes and can’t even really walk.”
In the film, which was fourth at the box office this weekend, Earth has been turned into a trash dump due to the Buy N Large corporation. Humans evacuated [...]

The politics of the energy crisis

Posted by Moonage on 05 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Energy Policy, Political Correctness

The jam we’re in right now was put in place thirty years ago.  In that time, we’ve gone from being an energy exporter to an energy junkie.  It really doesn’t matter where we get our hit, so long as we don’t have to accept any responsibility for it.  For instance:

Oil - The Democrats absolutely refuse [...]

Obama’s conundrum

Posted by Moonage on 19 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Political Correctness

Here’s the less than flattering headline:
Woman says head scarf cost her seat near Obama
Aref, a 25-year-old lawyer, said a member of her group was told by a volunteer that she could not invite Aref because of “a sensitive political climate.”
The Obama campaign then, when confronted with the story”
Obama spokesman Bill Burton issued a statement saying [...]

Are all liberal talk show peeps stupid?

Now, I don’t believe that to be necessarily true, I just can’t find one I think is terribly smart.  Today’s example is Thom Hartmann.  In 2005, he tried convincing people that Jimmy Carter tried to prevent the Bush Energy Disasters - 28 years ago.  Now, the reason he states this is because Jimmy gave a [...]

That pesky “Bush is beholden to oil” thing

Posted by Moonage on 12 May 2008 | Tagged as: Oil Policy, Oil Supply, Political Correctness

It’s making the rounds again as the Dems warm up for the fall.  Obama’s already testing it.  Clinton has worn it out already.  Several have already blamed the price of gas on Bush, and most have offered their solutions to the Bush problem.  When you listen to them make those arguments, remember one thing:

That’s the [...]
