Thanks to Rory, I have Google Desktop, which among other things, keeps track of the websites you visit and when they update, displays the headlines in an RSS feed. So when I saw this headline, I was, er, so, uh, taken aback that I immediately checked it out.
Maggie’s Farm: “I’m A Lesbian”, which turns out to be a write-up about yet another arrogant liberal politician who insists she’s above the law because she’s 1) an oppressed minority, and 2) a victim.

From the Blogfather re: Perez Hilton.
If you’re a gay guy in the news because someone punched you, and the most prominent gay rights organization has asked you to apologize, and a charity who works to end violence against gay people won’t take money from you, I think it’s safe to say you’re a piece of sh*t.
Some people just need to be beaten bloody every day of their lives. He’s the prototype.

Kate says it all about Michael Jackson.
A “tragic childhood” is a 4 year old in Bangladesh with retinoblastoma. A “tragic life” is a Russian teenager sold into the sex trade.
Michael Jackson did not have a tragic childhood, nor did he have a tragic life.
He had the life he chose.
To excuse his behavior as though it was simply a pre-programmed result of his years as a child performer is not just intellectually lazy, it’s an insult to every individual who has overcome true childhood hardship, deprivation and/or abuse to emerge as a functioning member of society.
Michael Jackson was no bobbing cork on the sea of circumstance - he was a multi-millionaire with the means to choose any lifestyle he wanted. “Functional adult” was one of the options. He chose otherwise.
Celebrate the music if you like, but for decency’s sake, don’t celebrate the man.
No tears or sadness here at all. My only question, really, is whether he died wearing his burka.

H/T to Ace and Allah for this.
Hundreds of New York City public school teachers accused of offenses ranging from insubordination to sexual misconduct are being paid their full salaries to sit around all day playing Scrabble, surfing the Internet or just staring at the wall, if that’s what they want to do.
Because their union contract makes it extremely difficult to fire them, the teachers have been banished by the school system to its “rubber rooms” — off-campus office space where they wait months, even years, for their disciplinary hearings.
The 700 or so teachers can practice yoga, work on their novels, paint portraits of their colleagues — pretty much anything but school work. They have summer vacation just like their classroom colleagues and enjoy weekends and holidays through the school year.
“You just basically sit there for eight hours,” said Orlando Ramos, who spent seven months in a rubber room, officially known as a temporary reassignment center, in 2004-05. “I saw several near-fights. `This is my seat.’ `I’ve been sitting here for six months.’ That sort of thing.”
Ramos was an assistant principal in East Harlem when he was accused of lying at a hearing on whether to suspend a student. Ramos denied the allegation but quit before his case was resolved and took a job in California.
Because the teachers collect their full salaries of $70,000 or more, the city Department of Education estimates the practice costs the taxpayers $65 million a year. The department blames union rules.
And this is why God made unions to be busted.

I guess I was behind on the news. Pittsburgh wins the Super Bowl, then the Stanley Cup, and throws a big party. The Lakers win the NBA Championship, and the fans riot.
I don’t feel I need to make the obvious (uncharitable) comment.

That’s how many screaming Penguins fans lined the Pittsburgh streets yesterday for the parade. It’s also 25,000 more than lined the same streets for the Steelers Super Bowl win.
Throw a victory party for 375,000 fans on three days’ notice?
Yeah, the City of Champions can handle that.
Penguins fans lined up 20 deep Monday along Grant Street and the Boulevard of the Allies to welcome back Lord Stanley’s cup after a 17-year absence. Pittsburgh police estimated the 375,000 fans eclipsed by 25,000 the crowd who gathered four months ago to celebrate the Steelers’ Super Bowl victory.
“Any time there’s a championship in the city, it’s always a good thing,” said Fred Broadnax, 54, of Mt. Washington, standing on Boulevard of the Allies near Market Street. “That’s why they call us the City of Champions. I could do it again next year, as soon as the Steelers and Penguins repeat. The Pirates just have to get on board.”
It was the third time in four years the city welcomed home a champion sports team.
Pensblog has a flickr group of parade photos, and parade coverage here.

from a Canuck, no less (and no doubt this will be just a blip in a run of Stanley Cup content).
The cognitive behavior of Western intellectuals faced with the accomplishments of their own society, on the one hand, and with the socialist ideal and then the socialist reality, on the other, takes one’s breath away. In the midst of unparalleled social mobility in the West, they cry ‘caste.’ In a society of munificent goods and services, they cry either ‘poverty’ or ‘consumerism.’ In a society of ever richer, more varied, more productive, more self-defined, and more satisfying lives, they cry ‘alienation.’ In a society that has liberated women, racial minorities, religious minorities, and gays and lesbians to an extent that no one could have dreamed possible just fifty years ago, they cry ‘oppression.’ In a society of boundless private charity, they cry ‘avarice.’ In a society in which hundreds of millions have been free riders upon the risk, knowledge, and capital of others, they decry the ‘exploitation’ of the free riders. In a society that broke, on behalf of merit, the seemingly eternal chains of station by birth, they cry ‘injustice.’ In the names of fantasy worlds and mystical perfections, they have closed themselves to the Western, liberal miracle of individual rights, individual responsibility, merit, and human satisfaction. Like Marx, they put words like ‘liberty’ in quotation marks when these refer to the West.

You really have to hand it to the men and women of the Philadelphia City Council. The city is $2 million in the red, crime is completely out of control, and the mayor closed seven fire stations. But what is city council spending their precious time on?
They want to enact a ban on plastic shopping bags.
Seriously.

First, Obama goes to Germany and apologizes for “allied war crimes” because sticking his tongue up the nearest anus is what he does best, then some nutjob shoots up the Holocaust Museum. Then, his mentor, “Rev.” Wright (remember him?) complains that “them Jews” won’t let him in to see Obama.

You may recall (if you’ve been around that long) that the day after moving here, I went to Midas to get the oil changed and found out about state-mandated annual inspections. You may also recall that I wondered what kind of commie state I’d moved to (annual inspections, my ass).
So I got stopped the other day. Was I speeding? Had I run a red light? Had I otherwise placed somebody in danger?
No. One of my inspections had expired, and the police stopped me.
Seriously.
Somehow, the last time I went to Midas to get inspected, they only did an emissions inspection. So I went to Midas today and now have two brand new stickers.
Oh, and brand new brakes because mine were shot.
Anyway, I thought I’d be there an hour. Instead, I was there a good two hours, and today, the connection is very slow.

You won’t even believe this:
A woman sued the Cap’n Crunch people because her cereal didn’t contain any “crunchberries”:
On May 21, a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California dismissed a complaint filed by a woman who said she had purchased “Cap’n Crunch with Crunchberries” because she believed “crunchberries” were real fruit. The plaintiff, Janine Sugawara, alleged that she had only recently learned to her dismay that said “berries” were in fact simply brightly-colored cereal balls, and that although the product did contain some strawberry fruit concentrate, it was not otherwise redeemed by fruit. She sued, on behalf of herself and all similarly situated consumers who also apparently believed that there are fields somewhere in our land thronged by crunchberry bushes.
In an uncharacteristic display of common sense, the judge threw it out.

That was a hellacious game last night, and the Pens beat the Welfare Queens 4-2. Speaking of and forgive the French, but Mike Babcock is a shitbag, which I guess is appropriate for the coach of the hockey team in America’s sewer town. What a nasty piece of work.
And Bob Errey’s having fun on the NHL Channel with those idiots Duff and Murphy who suddenly love the Penguins.
