Maria Bartiromo goes bare knuckles on union goon

CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo lived up to her “Money Honey” nickname yesterday by standing up to her union goon guest and defending the American dream.

She had two guests on her CNBC show on Thursday – Steve Malanga, a senior fellow with the Manhattan Institute, and Jonathan Tasini, executive director of the Labor Research Association.

Here’s how the conversation went:

BARTIROMO: So, you want us to go the European way?

TASINI: For example, there was just a great piece in the New York Times about Norway, and explaining how it has actually expanded its coverage and protection of people. I would argue that people in Norway probably live a better standard of living than most people in this, than many people in this country.

BARTIROMO: Well, the economies of Europe have been in the dumps for, for years, even before this economic slowdown even started. You think that, you think the socialist measures have anything to do with that?

TASINI: Well, what I found interesting is both Steven and both you have ignored the two points that I’ve made which is that we have the greatest inequality that we’ve had in the last hundred years, and the most important point I tried to make was productivity. Productivity in the last 30 year is soaring. That means…

BARTIROMO: But what is redistribution of wealth going to do for productivity? What is, what is the idea of the American dream, of working hard and achieving something, and knowing that all, you know, half your wealth is going to someone who didn’t do that?

Why that’s just crazy talk, Maria. The Democrats don’t want to redistribute the wealth. They want to redistribute the poverty.

Donald Trump had the moxie to let Carrie Prejean keep her Miss California crown. The next day the director of the Miss California pageant Shanna Moakler “resigned” and made the following comments to UsMagazine.com

“Since the press conference yesterday, I had a chance to think about what has taken place, and I feel that at this time it is in my best interest to resign from the Miss California USA organization.”

“I cannot with a clear conscious move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it, or the contracts I signed committing myself as a youth,” she sneered. “I want to be a role model for young woman with high hopes of pageantry, but now feel it more important to be a role model for my children. I am sorry and hope I have not let any young supporters down but wish them the best of luck in fulfilling their dreams.”

In the world of beauty pageants, the words “role model” is apparently a synonym for “cheap, sleazy whore.”

Here are some photos and videos of Shanna Moakler, role model.

Monica Lewinsky, the official spokesperson for the exciting, new IHateTheMedia.com Internship Program.

The Huffington Post is now auctioning off a two-month internship that they modestly call a chance to “jumpstart your career in the blogosphere.” The next bid must be at least $15,500.

We say it looks like a pretty clever way to pick up a few bucks. So in the grand tradition of capitalism that the Huffington Post would never understand, we hereby offer to undercut their price and offer internships at IHateTheMedia.com for a mere $14,500.

It’s all part of a charity auction being run at CharityBuzz.com. So far ten liberal lunatics have actually bid on the internship. Additional bids will be accepted through May 28, 2009. The winning bidder can serve their internship in HuffPo’s Washington, DC or New York office.

Fact is, we really don’t need any interns, but this looks like a pretty sweet money making scheme. We get a gaggle of interns paying us $14,500 every two or three months while we spend the day eating bonbons.

Please send your checks to IHateTheMedia.com, PO Box 13309, San Luis Obispo, CA 93406-3309.

Obamanomics: Elevating the circle jerk to an art form

obamanomics, copyright IHateTheMedia.com

Bad news for American workers and taxpayers. That auto bailout isn’t quite working the way they hoped it would.

According to a leaked document, GM plans to sell Chinese-manufactured cars to American consumers as soon as 2011.

Here’s how Fox News reports it:

General Motors is currently the best-selling foreign automaker in China, and Buick is number one brand overall, part of the reason that the nameplate was saved during a recent round of cuts that included the elimination of Pontiac. As an example of the growing influence of that marketplace on the company, the interior of the upcoming replacement for the Buick LaCrosse sedan was designed at a GM studio in Shanghai.

According to the report, GM plans to sell nearly 18,000 Chinese-made vehicles in the US in 2011, with that number rising to over 50,000 by 2014.

The chart above shows exactly what a circle jerk this is.

China buys US government debt. The US government uses that money to bailout General Motors. General Motors manufactures cars in China which it then sells in the United States. Americans buy those cars which gives GM the money to pay back the government which then pays back China.

The end result: The Chinese get the jobs. The Chinese get the money. And the only thing Americans get is the shaft.

Oprah Winfrey flaunts her wealth in college commencement address

Oprah's rich, you're not. End of discussion.
Oprah's rich, you're not. End of discussion.
Oprah made the commencement address at Duke University yesterday. She gave an address for which any conservative would have been skewered by the liberal press:

“It’s great to have a nice home. It’s great to have nice homes! It’s great to have a nice home that just escaped the fire in Santa Barbara,” she told the students. “It’s great to have a private jet. Anyone that tells you that having your own private jet isn’t great is lying to you.”

Sure, she went on to say “You haven’t completed the circle of success until you help someone else move to a higher ground and get to a better place.” Blah, blah, blah.

The Duke graduates were terribly disappointed with Oprah’s address. When she started talking about helping someone else, they thought she was going to give away free cars to everyone in the audience again.

Sorry, Duke graduates. Since Oprah didn’t come through with a freebie, it looks like you’ll have to move to Massachusetts to get that free car.

EPA blows smoke, White House memo says CO2 isn’t harmful, but regulating it is.

As anyone who took high school science knows carbon dioxide (CO2) is what people and animals exhale and plants “inhale”.

Yet environmental zealots call it a “greenhouse gas” to make it sound harmful.

What would be really harmful, though, is if the Environmental Protection Agency starts regulating CO2. Well, hang on to your wallet, Money Bags, because that’s exactly what they’re considering.

Last month, the EPA issued a proposed finding that greenhouse gases “endanger public health and welfare within the meaning of the Clean Air Act.”

But now an internal White House memo reveals glimpses of sanity within the administration. A memo sent by the Office of Management and Budget to the EPA says that greenhouse gasses have “no demonstrated direct health effects” but that regulation “is likely to have serious economic consequences.”

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson was confronted about the memo at a Senate hearing. Watch how she tap-dances around the question, misrepresents the Supreme Court’s ruling (as if the Supreme Court makes laws) and downplays her agency’s finding, saying it was preliminary and “might not” lead to regulations. But if they did decide to start regulating CO2, they’d “make regulations smartly.”

God help us. If anyone’s responsible for global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions, it’s bureaucratic windbags.

Biden says economy’s improving, data says something else

Joe Biden indicating that the economy is ten times more socialist than ever
Joe Biden indicating that the economy is ten times more socialist than ever

Honesty-challenged Vice President Joe Biden told rosy tales of an economic recovery on Wednesday. But even the liberal Assocated Press says the facts tell another story:

It is not disputed that Washington is spending historic amounts of money at a rate far faster than normal. Workers are getting tax breaks, Washington is picking up a greater share of state Medicaid costs and road construction projects are beginning.

Even Recovery.gov, the Web site that has yet to live up to its billing as a one-stop way to track every penny, offers more information than typical government programs, and faster.

But the effect of that spending is less clear. Many of the claims the White House is making are based on anecdotes selected to fit the Obama administration’s message. For instance, the report cites a newspaper article about workers being rehired at a factory in Chicago. That account is true, but is no more an accurate snapshot of the nation’s economy than a story, not cited in the report, about a Roanoke, Va., railcar factory closing.

Capturing the full effect of the stimulus at this early stage is difficult, but the administration has set high bars for success. In championing those successes, however, the White House plays a little loose with the facts.

You can see the specifics of the Associate Press fact check here.

Joe Biden playing a little loose with the facts? We are shocked that the Associated Press would make such a baseless accusation. Shocked, we tell you.

Palin gives Obama a lesson in the free market economy. Piper Palin, that is.

We don't know if Piper Palin is violating any health codes, but she's definitely obeying the law of supply and demand
We don't know if Piper Palin is violating any health codes, but she's definitely obeying the law of supply and demand
Up in the wilds of Juneau, Alaska Sarah Palin’s eight year old daughter Piper has struck a blow against President Obama’s socialist agenda.

Since mom Sarah Palin has risen to national prominence, tour companies have begun running busses through the neighborhood where the governor’s mansion is located. Carloads of tourists are flooding the neighborhood, too.

Noticing the increased traffic through her neighborhood, the entrepreneurial eight year old set up a lemonade stand in front of the mansion and has begun selling the tart treat to tourists. The budding entrepreneur seems to understand capitalism and how the free market works than the entire Obama administration.

Piper Palin better watch out.

Next thing you know, the FDA will swoop in and tell her she’s violating health standards. The IRS will want to see her sales records. Tim Geithner will force her to take TARP funds. And President Obama will force her out of the lemonade stand she founded and turn it over to his allies in the United Lemonworkers Union.

Congratulations to North Korea. They’ve reduced their carbon footprint to an acceptable level.

earth_hour

This is a satellite photo of the Korean Peninsula. Global warming fanatics will probably look at it, wring their hands and wonder why those capitalist, environmental rapists in South Korea can’t be more like their socialist brothers north of the 38th Parallel.

Look how admirable the people of North Korea are, they’d say. They don’t eat up the world’s dwindling natural resources by burning needless electricity generated by unnecessary power plants. They don’t pollute the skies. They don’t make sea levels rise. And they don’t kill any damn polar bears.

On the other hand, global warming realists know the only way to reduce humanity’s so-called carbon footprint to what the greens consider an acceptable level is to flip off every light, shut down every industrial plant, stop the production of food, and return to the sort of pre-industrial conditions that plague the people of the People’s Republic.

We just hope the American people see the light before there are no more lights left to see.

Janeane Garofalo still says you are a teabagging racist. And make that a double, no apology.

What’s this? Janeane Garofalo buys her coffee from that evil international, outsourcing, third-world nation enslaving Starbucks corporation? That sounds like the making of a story of its own. But this story is what happened when she walked out of the coffee house and was confronted by FOX News producer Griff Jenkins.

Jenkins asked Garofalo if she wished to apologize to tea party goers for her comment that they were all racists, all protesting for one reason: they hate a black president.

Nope. She would not back down. All you who attended the tax protests are still hate-mongering, teabagging racists (even you black protesters). She told Griff that she even saw a sign with the dreaded 666 on it. Well, that proves it.

But we do want to give you big props for your support of giant, U.S. multinational corporations, Janeane. Sorry you got caught doing it.

Obama takes control of auto companies, Chavez tops him by taking control of oil companies

"Good work, mi amigo. How about if I take over the healthcare industry next and you take over the media."
"Good work, mi amigo. How about if I take over the healthcare industry next and you take over the media."

Please allow us to talk out loud while we try to make sense of this:

When Hugo Chavez nationalized the oil companies in Venezuela and said he was doing it for the good of the country, that’s bad. But when Barack Obama nationalized the car companies in the United States and said it was for the good of the country, that’s good.

Here’s how CNSNews.com reports events in Venezuela:

The BBC recently carried this headline: ‘Chavez seizes oil service firms.’ The article describes how the president of Venezuela “sent troops to take over companies that provide services for the oil industry.” This is the kind of stuff which used to make headlines, back in the days when it was rare for central governments to take control of private companies. But, these days it passes almost without comment. Chavez didn’t try to couch the takeover in terms of TARPs or Stimulus Packages or Stress Tests. Chavez said, “This is a revolutionary offensive.”

Oh, just imagine the laughs these two amigos will share the next time they get together.

Unfortunately, the laugh’s on us.

North Korean defector would like to show Nancy Pelosi what real torture looks like

Anyone who wants to call waterboarding torture should talk to Bang Mi-Sun about real torture
Anyone who wants to call waterboarding torture should talk to Bang Mi-Sun about real torture

A shocking story of real torture was told in Washington, DC on Wednesday. It went completely unreported by the biased liberal media that wants you to believe waterboarding somehow rises to the level of torture.

Here’s how Chosun Korea tells the story of Bang Mi-Sun:

There were gasps in the audience at a press conference by female North Korean defectors in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday when Bang Mi-Sun rolled up her black skirt and showed the deep ugly scars in her thighs. The event was part of North Korea Freedom Week.

As soon as she was asked to recount her life in a North Korean concentration camp, Bang (55) stepped on a chair and roll up her skirt. Various parts of her thighs were sunken as if the flesh had been gouged out. She also walks with a limp.

Bang had formerly been an actress with the propaganda squad of the Musan Mine. She fled the North with her children when her husband starved to death in 2002, but soon fell victim to human traffickers. She was arrested by Chinese police and was sent back to the North, where she was tortured. In 2004, she escaped again.

Nancy Pelosi immediately demanded congressional hearings to determine if Dick Cheney had authorized North Korea’s enhanced interrogation techniques.

Obama wins another election, U.S. voted onto vile U.N. Human Rights Council

Are we the only ones who find it odd that all members of the U.N. Human Rights Council run unopposed?
Are we the only ones who find it odd that all members of the U.N. Human Rights Council run unopposed?

Why that Barack Obama guy is unstoppable. First he gets elected President of the United States, then he gets the United States elected to the most corrupt organization within the remarkably corrupt United Nations.

You’ll be proud to know that the United States now sits on the U.N. Human Rights Council. Right alongside such notable human rights advocates as Cuba, China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.

We’ve boycotted the commission in the past because it served primarily as a venue to bash Israel.

Here’s how Associated Press reported this milestone achievement for President Obama:

Former President George W. Bush’s administration boycotted the council over its repeated criticism of Israel and its refusal to cite flagrant rights abuses in Sudan and elsewhere.

But the U.S. announced in late March that it would seek to join the council to help make it more effective, reflecting President Barack Obama’s desire to create a “new era of engagement” with the international community.

Even though the U.S. did not face competition in its regional group for a seat on the 47-member council, it needed to get at least 97 votes — a majority of the 192 U.N. member states — in a secret ballot. It did far better, winning 167 votes.

“We received 90 percent of the valid votes cast,” U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice pointed out after the vote. “And we’re gratified by the strong showing of encouragement for the United States to again play a meaningful leadership role in multilateral organizations including the United Nations on the very vitally important set of issues relating to human rights and democracy.”

Let’s review: We ran for this obscene council unopposed and got 90% of the vote.

On one hand, the 90% figure is so high that it sounds suspiciously like the election results announced in a country like North Korea or Cuba. On the other hand, we ran unopposed and still couldn’t get one out of ten countries to vote for us.

We don’t know which is worse.

Now he may be going back on his promise to eliminate the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

Here’s how CNSNews.com reports it:

“President Barack Obama’s national security advisor, retired Marine Gen. James Jones, said over the weekend that he ‘doesn’t know’ if the Obama administration is going to try to overturn the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy that says homosexuality is incompatible with military service.”

George Stephanopoulos, host of This Week, asked if “Don’t ask, don’t tell” would be overturned.

“I don’t know,” Jones hemmed and hawed. “We’ll have to — the president has said that he is in favor of that. We’ll just wait — we’ll have to wait and see — as a result of the deliberations and as a result of the – in the months and weeks ahead. We have a lot on our plate right now. It has to be teed up at the right time so – to do this the right way.”

Nevada’s evil Republican Secretary of State files criminal complaints against ACORN.

Ross Miller, Nevada’s evil Republican Secretary of State, has filed 39 criminal complaints against ACORN. What’s that? He’s a Democrat? Well, that’s pretty damn inconvenient.

In Clark County alone, ACORN registered 91,000 people but 50% of them couldn’t be verified. The typical percentage of unverifiable voter registrations is just 2%.

Miller appeared on Glenn Beck’s show and said, “We’re just trying to send a strong message that we won’t tolerate these kinds of fraudulent practices in the future.”

“When we executed the raid on the ACORN headquarters here in Las Vegas we came across thousands of pages of documents, emails,” Miller continued. “Within those documents we found their company policy directive that outlined for their employees the fact that they were required to meet certain quotas and that these employees were expected to turn in 20 registration forms per day. Otherwise they’d be terminated.”

“We think that the case is very strong,” Miller added. “It’s a very thorough investigation that we’ve had almost a year now in place showing that they were compensating their individual canvassers based on the total number of people registered which is a felony in this state. We’ve filed 39 counts. I think they’re going to have a difficult case to make to the twelve jurors who will ultimately hear this.”

There’s an old saying that a man should be judged by the company he keeps. Our President keeps the company of ACORN.

‘Nuff said.

MSNBC’s Angry Ed Schultz caught with his hypocritical pants down

MSNBC host Ed Schultz preparing for another informative show

We sincerely apologize for any unpleasant images that headline may have brought to mind, but it seemed appropriate.

Within the course of one hour on Monday night, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz condemned David Feherty for joking about the death of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, then turned around and praised Wanda Sykes’ for joking about the death of Rush Limbaugh.

“My thoughts on the White House correspondents dinner,” Ed said at the top of his show, “the best jokes and why I’m so glad Wanda Sykes took it to Rush Limbaugh.”

Ed rolled tape that showed Sykes’ comments. Well, most of Sykes’ comments. “Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails. So you said, I hope America fails. I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker but he was just so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight.

Ed conveniently edited out these offensive words: “Rush Limbaugh. ‘I hope the country fails.’ I hope his kidneys fail. How about that.”

A few minutes later, Schultz featured Feherty’s joke about killing Reid and Pelosi. He condemned Feherty and called the joke “insanity” and “sick.”

Our best guess is that Ed knows he can say any damn thing he wants, no matter how stupid or hypocritical, because he knows virtually no one is watching his show. If a tree falls in the forest and no one’s there to hear it, does it make a noise?

Bono performs his tribute to Elvis Presley exclusively for IHateTheMedia.com

Bono, the tax-evading frontman for Irish rockers U2, unveiled an odd ode to Elvis Presley on Great Britain’s Radio 4 this morning. It’s a 14-minute long…uh…poem.

If anything, it proves that U2’s music must be even better than anyone ever realized, because it had to compensate for Bono’s absurd lyrics.

The poem is titled American David. It’s a melange of odd, seemingly insulting rhymes loosely set to a music track. It also contains numerous words and phrases that many will consider offensive, such as “white nigger” and “spastic” and “shit.”

The Times UK describes it like this:

One rhyming triplet played on the singer’s long weight battle: “Elvis the bumper stickers/ Elvis the white knickers/ Elvis the white nigger ate at Burger King and just kept getting bigger.”

Another took aim at his iconic dance move: “Elvis the ecstatic/ Elvis the plastic/ Elvis the elastic with a spastic dance that could explain the energy of America.”

But other lines told of the U2 singer’s admiration, as he called the late pin-up “pharoah-like”, a “genius” and a “psalmist”.

Pardon us if we seem presumptuous, but we’d like to contribute our own lyrics:

He died on the toilet/ Covered with his own sweat/ Don’t be upset but don’t forget, closet thing America ever had to a king

Hey, it might not be great, but it’s no worse than that crap Bono’s wrote.

When do the royalties start rolling in?

Like drunken sailors: U.S. spending $2.6 million to train Chinese hookers how to drink

Yeah, but can she handle her liquor?

This is one of those stories that’s so friggin’ unbelievable that our initial inclination was to think it was a joke.

Unfortunately, the joke’s on us.

Here’s how CNSNews.com reports it:

“The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the National Institutes of Health, will pay $2.6 million in U.S. tax dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job. ‘The purpose of the project is to try and develop an intervention program targeting HIV risk and alcohol use,’ Dr. Xiaoming Li, the researcher conducting the program, told CNSNews.com. The grant, made last November, is one of several ‘international initiatives’ sponsored by NIH.”

We had a story a few months ago about the U.S. government purchasing Chinese condoms. Now we’re teaching Chinese hookers how to drink responsibly.

We don’t really care if the Chinese whores are drunk. Nor do we care if the Chinese drunks are whores.

What bothers us is that we’re all getting screwed by the drunken whores in Washington, DC.

Hope and change: Hope I don’t get convicted, really want a change of venue

obama_mugshots_wm4

This is an absolutely true, personal story from the editor of IHateTheMedia.com:

I (a pronoun rarely used at IHTM) had to make a court appearance on November 6, 2008, the day after the presidential election. A group of about twenty other defendants and witnesses gathered on the benches in the courthouse hallway. One of them, a young black man, was giddy with excitement.

“I’ve never voted in my life until yesterday,” he said. “I’m not a Democrat. I’m not a Republican. I’m nothing. But I voted for Barack Obama yesterday because Obama’s going to take care of all the brothers.”

He gleefully related this story over and over to anyone who made the mistake of sitting next to him. Or even near him.

The doors finally swung open and the baliff ushered us all in and showed us to seats in the back of the courtroom.

The first case called was that of the happy young black man. The smile disappeared off his face as he approached the judge, who peered menacingly over his glasses. “You have quite a record here, son,” he said. “Possession of drugs. Drug dealing. Armed robbery. Assault. Breaking and entering.”

The young black man began fidgeting.

“But today’s your lucky day,” the judge said. “The district attorney’s office screwed up and all the charges have been dismissed.”

The young man let out an excited hoot, spun around with a huge smile on his face, looked at all of us and said, “See, I told you. Obama’s already working for the brothers.”

We all roared with laughter. Even the stern judge.

Apparently not all Obama backers are so lucky. Someone sent us this collection of mug shots that all feature one thing in common.

Are the photos funny? We plead guilty and throw ourselves on the mercy of the court.

(Note: we tried to balance this story with some McCain voters’ mug shots, but couldn’t find any. None. Turns out SmokingGun.com has been searching for them, too, but the best they’ve been able to find is one anti-Obama shirt.)

Only in Washington does an organization get funded on Thursday after being indicted for 39 felonies on Monday

Alphonse of Capone, the patron saint of ACORN
Alphonse of Capone, the patron saint of ACORN

On Monday Nevada filed 39 felony criminal complaints against ACORN. On Thursday the House of Representatives voted to allow ACORN to receive federal funding under the “Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act.”

The vote to make ACORN eligible for funding was 245-176. All Democrats on the side, all Republicans plus four honest Democrats on the other.

“There is no excuse this outrage. The only explanation for voting to give money to this racket is that House Democrats are deep in the pocket of ACORN,” said a statement from GetLiberty.org.

As a result of the House vote, ACORN is eligible for more than $3 billion in “stimulus” money plus another $5.5 billion from the 2010 budget. The organization has already received at least $53 million from American taxpayers since 1994.

ACORN has also been investigated for voter fraud in state after state – including Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Missouri, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Michigan.

39 felony counts? What’s the big deal? Who among us hasn’t been charged with 39 felony counts at one time or another?

Obama’s double whammy: Won’t protect borders, won’t pay to jail illegal immigrants

Where to find your nearest ACORN illegal alien voter registration drive.
Where to find your nearest ACORN illegal alien voter registration drive. (Click for larger)

First the Democrats refuse to do anything to stop illegal aliens from flooding across the border. Now President Obama wants to kill a program that helps reimburse the states for jailing illegal aliens.

Don’t get us wrong. The funds were only to be used for jailing them for committing crimes other than crossing the border illegally.

The State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAPP) provides states with assistance to offset the costs of jailing illegal immigrants.

When he was in the senate, President Obama voted to give extra funding to SCAPP. Yet now Obama has decided to eliminate the same program he once voted for.

Obama says that killing SCAPP will save $400 million per year. In reality, it only transfers that burden to the states.

Obama may run into opposition in his own party on this one. Powerful California Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein strongly backs SCAPP. She is supported by elected officials from other states with illegal aliens problems.

Obama expects to overcome this minor inconvenience as soon as ACORN can register the 12 million illegal aliens currently living in the United States.

Wanda Sykes hypocritical TV commercial: “That’s so Limbaugh”

Irony is running rampant these days.

Federal judge rules that Christian-bashing teacher violated First Amendment

A Federal judge has ruled that an Orange County high school teacher violated the First Amendment by disparaging Christians during a classroom lecture.

Here’s how the Orange County Register explains it:

James Corbett, a 20-year teacher at Capistrano Valley High School, referred to Creationism as “religious, superstitious nonsense” during a 2007 classroom lecture, denigrating his former Advanced Placement European history student, Chad Farnan.

The decision is the culmination of a 16-month legal battle between Corbett and Farnan – a conflict the judge said should remind teachers of their legal “boundaries” as public school employees.

“Corbett states an unequivocal belief that Creationism is ‘superstitious nonsense,'” U.S. District Court Judge James Selna said in a 37-page ruling released from his Santa Ana courtroom. “The court cannot discern a legitimate secular purpose in this statement, even when considered in context.”

In a December 2007 lawsuit, Farnan, then a sophomore, accused Corbett of repeatedly promoting hostility toward Christians in class and advocating “irreligion over religion” in violation of the First Amendment’s establishment clause.

We favor prayer in school. Lord knows we frequently needed divine intervention to get through high school.
