Student who refused to stomp Jesus brought up on academic charges. This is a college with schizophrenia. First they supported the class exercise, then they apologized for it and said nobody was suspended, now they’ve accused him of a long list of violations and told him:

“In the interim, you may not attend class or contact any of the students involved in this matter – verbally or electronically – or by any other means. Please be advised that a Student Affairs hold may be placed on your records until final disposition of the complaint.”

U.S. Border Patrol uniforms now manufactured in Mexico. Nobody involved in issuing this contract stopped to think that an unlimited supply of Border Patrol uniforms in Mexico might be problematic? Hey, why stop at giving the coyotes uniforms? Why not give them guns, too? Oh, wait…

How stupid is Bill Maher? This stupid: in a discussion about gun control legislation in the Senate, he tried to blame its failure on the notion that “we are such a gerrymandered country.” When the Republican pointed out that you can’t gerrymander a seat in the Senate, Maher had nothing to offer but a dumb look.

Harvard stripped of quiz tournament titles for cheating. Harvard competitor Andy Watkins hacked his way into, and accessed, the quiz questions before the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Intercollegiate Championship Tournaments… but insists he wasn’t trying to cheat. Sound like any other Harvard graduate you know?

More people have cellphones than toilets. According to the United Nations, 6 billion of the world’s 7 billion people have access to a cellphone, but only 4.5 billion have access to a toilet. Maybe the U.S. government should stop handing out Obama phones and start handing out Obama toilets. The symbolism would be more appropriate anyway.

Another left wing talk station goes dark. KJFK (check out those call letters) in Reno, Nevada, will cease broadcasting after 8 years of progressive talk radio. Yes, yes, that’s the radio station where J.P.’s Moment of Common Sense was getting aired for the last two months, and where I was co-hosting Broad View on Saturday evenings… but it wasn’t me that brought the station down, swear to God!

Barack Obama in the Middle East.

President Obama needs a geography lesson. Yesterday he told Palestinians they deserve an “independent, viable and contiguous Palestinian state.” Look at the map. You can’t make the Palestinian state contiguous without bisecting Israel.

Governor Cuomo forced to ease gun legislation he just passed. For one thing, he discovered there’s no such thing as a seven-bullet clip. Oops. When it comes to Democrats passing legislation in a hurry during the middle of the night, Obamacare was The Hangover and New York’s anti-gun legislation is The Hangover Part II.

Bolshoi Ballet has been turned into a giant brothel. That’s what a former soloist claims. She says female dancers are forced to sleep with wealthy patrons or lose their spots. In other words, the Bolshoi is Russia’s version of Hollywood.

Yesterday’s AP story about Rand Paul endorsing amnesty for illegal aliens? Totally untrue. AP writer Erica Werner wrote that Senator Paul wants illegals to gain citizenship but he didn’t even use the word “citizenship” in his whole speech.

Caving to gay pressure, Chipotle abandons Boy Scouts. The restaurant chain will no longer sponsor a Utah Boy Scout event because the youth organization won’t let gay men go camping with young boys. That thud you just heard was the sound of Utah Chipotle sales hitting the floor.

Cable networks air 16-year-old rape victim’s name. Now she’s receiving death threats. No wonder we hate the media.

Islamists hide bomb in Quran. Remember the 2005 Quran desecration hullabaloo? Never mind. Turns out you can do anything you want with the damn things.

If the devil had a son… would he look like Barack Obama?

Hard proof that global warming forecasts were wrong. Still have friends and relatives who refuse to see the light about the AGW scam? Just show them this graph from the UK’s Daily Mail.

Honeymoon is over for Ashley Judd. Kentucky Democrats are stepping back, taking a clear look, and deciding a Hollywood liberal loony-tune might not be the best senate candidate in a conservative Midwest state. As Homer Simpson would say: “D’oh!”

Keith Olbermann claims nobody will hire him. Show of hands if you’re not surprised.

Bad day for roosters. A San Francisco company has figured out how to make eggs without chickens. That’s how much they hate heterosexuality in San Francisco.

Britain’s first Muslim life peer suspended from Parliament for anti-Semitic remarks. What’s that old saying about putting lipstick on a pig?

President Obama invites Miss Israel to dinner. Finally the guy makes a savvy foreign policy move.

Ukrainian killer dolphins escape. Trained to detect mines and kill enemy divers with special knives and firearms, the dolphins abandoned their handlers and headed for the open sea. The big question: how long before the Obama administration declares this “Ukrainian Spring” and sends them money and weapons?

Rumor is the Koch Brothers are trying to buy the Los Angeles Times… and the leftwing editorial department is already having a cow. “To me, Doug Manchester would be bad enough even without the Koch Brothers,” said one frightened writer. We think it would be nice to have one or two news sources that aren’t owned by George Soros and Warren Buffet.

Air Force chaplain earns Bronze Star for Muslim sensitivity training. Basically, he created a PowerPoint presentation to teach U.S. troops how to avoid offending Afghan locals. And we thought John Kerry’s medals were suspect.

Yesterday’s ostrich races in Chandler, Arizona. No word on whether ostrich-fan John Boehner was in attendance – he admires the way the big birds race hard and then stick their heads in the sand at the finish.
