Ten years after 9/11, California still has no curriculum devoted to the terrorist attacks

Ten years after 9/11, California still has no curriculum devoted to the terrorist attacks. About 2,400 were killed at Pearl Harbor while about 3,000 were killed on 9/11, yet California seems to think it’s important to teach school children about gay history while ignoring 9/11. Disgusting.

The Falling Man

At fifteen seconds after 9:41 a.m., on September 11, 2001, a photographer named Richard Drew took a picture of a man falling through the sky — falling through time as well as through space.“The Falling Man — became the Unknown Soldier in a war whose end we have not yet seen.” Today we remember that unknown soldier and thousands like him who went to work that morning, like any other morning, never dreaming it would be their last.

Change: National Journal blames Obama for potential Weprin loss

Change: National Journal blames Obama for looming Weprin loss in NY-9. Laying the turd in the swimming pool at the feet of The Won: “Discontent with Washington and the president is at the heart of Turner’s shocking upset bid.” Turner gets 90% Repub votes, Weprin just 63% of Dems. Indys go Turner 65-27. From the comments: “the “one” has made this country an invalid…i will say no more…i apologize for drinking the kool aid…i was wrong…soooo wrong…anyone who votes ‘present’ is not fit for the highest office in the land…’DUH'” Sounds like NY-9 voters last Thursday were all watching the game, not the game-changer. Ouch.

Obama’s “jobs” speech, in English this time

How Obama’s “jobs” speech would read if he actually followed thru on his promise to make things perfectly clear. Obama never says what he means so WSJ’s Holman Jenkins does it for him: “I am not anti-business. I get a supreme sense of satisfaction when business leaders approach me and, in a deferential manner, ask for subsidies and regulatory favors that will determine whether their companies succeed or fail. Like solar subsidies. This is the kind of job creation I’m interested in.” Well, we sorta knew that without him saying it.

Woman bit by rat while waiting for NYC subway

A hungry rat chomped on a straphanger’s foot as she waited for a train in a NYC subway station, transit sources said. Well, Mayor Bloomers is too busy hunting down the real danger to public health – excess dietary transfats – to worry about minor threats like rats. The NY Daily News, a very liberal newspaper, went out of its way to emphasize that rat attacks in the subway are “rare”. Bet that made the victim feel better.

Citizen Ticketed For Directing Traffic After Traffic Light Fails In South Pasadena

After a traffic light failed causing a mile-long backup, a citizen stepped in to direct traffic and received a ticket for his trouble. Wasn’t there an old song that went “It is better to ticket one little candle than to let it stop drivers from cursing the darkness?” BTW, this is a good one: “South Pasadena Police Chief Joe Payne said he did not have the man power needed to staff officers at Fair Oaks and Huntington Thursday and that is safer to allow traffic to back up.” In other news, a new synonym for “moron” has been found.

Employers Say Jobs Plan Won’t Lead to Hiring Spur

The dismal state of the economy is the main reason many companies are reluctant to hire workers, and few executives are saying that President Obama’s jobs plan — while welcomed — will change their minds any time soon. We love how they had to throw in the “while welcomed” part. It is as if they can’t decide what to fear more. Obama’s ineptitude, or his retribution.

UK Postal workers refused to deliver CDs of Bible readings

UK Postal workers refused to deliver CDs of Bible readings after deciding they were ‘offensive material’. Normally we’d considering the implications of an incident similar to this being mirrored across the pond. However we’re not so certain our own Postal Service will remain solvent long enough to adopt this sort of behavior.

Solyndra, Obama and Crony Capitalism

One of the progressives favorite boogeymen is the so called system of crony capitalism. But, as Obama has so perfectly demonstrated with the Solyndra scandal, this system is as much their baby as anyone else’. Had things gone our way the free market would decide the winners and losers . . . and there would be no central economic regulators for these false capitalists to “crony” up to.
