The food at the school cafeteria was, well, I suspect today it would be ruled as cruel and unusual punishment by the SCOTUS, but the school did one thing very, very, very well. And this is yet another food item I haven’t seen anywhere here. Easy to make, and oh, wonderful to eat.

Brilliant!
This is typical liberal behavior of course. John Edwards talks of two Americas yet lives in a house roughly the size of one of them. Now we have Al Gore sucking up enough energy for a small hospital.

Everybody knows how I feel about educrats, teacher accountability, edufads, and politics in the classroom. But the things that are wrong with education aren’t just pedagogical; in fact, I’d say that most of what’s wrong with education isn’t pedagogical, and though some of it may be enabled or enhanced by teachers, they don’t bear the […]

Who the frak are these people from that reading list?
Diana Gabaldon
Rohinton Mistry
Ann-Marie MacDonald
James Redfield
Barbara Taylor Bradford
Sue Monk Kidd
Guy Gavriel Kay
Ann Brashares
Mitch Albom
It’s only a partial list. There are a lot of names I’ve never seen in my life. Oprah book club? Supermarket book shelf? And why the frak are you reading some nameless author when […]

I guess we know who the folks at Reason magazine aren’t voting for (thanks to K-Lo for the scan):

Yes, yes, I hate memes. But I saw this one at Tense Teacher, and thought it was interesting — though I changed it a little and I might add that it’s a strange list (why do I get the impression much of this list was compiled by somebody who chooses reading material off the supermarket […]

Any time liberals screech about an issue — whatever it is — you know it’s crap. It’s the Chicken Little syndrome all over again. The only thing they deserve is to be derided.
The latest example? The nutrition nazis are at it again (thanks to Cam Edwards for the link):
Chain restaurants in the United States are […]

Also from Ace: Man says dog saved him from black bear.
CATARACT, Wis. - Jason Schindler says he wouldn’t be alive if it were not for his dog, Dude. The 27-year-old rural Cataract man said the 8-year-old mixed-breed hound jumped between him and an attacking black bear Thursday night, saving his life but giving up his […]

Again, Ace, on the media:
Oh My… Police ID victims as being Catholic and Lutheran, but the religion of the Hitler-loving, Jew-”cleansing” immigrant cab driver, Ibrahim Sheikh Ahmed is unknown, according to police.
I’m guessing Episcopalian — but that’s just because Episcopalians so frequently run people down with their cabs.

Technorati: al sharpton, strom thurmond, race whores, tawana brawley, slavery
I’m not particularly inspired today, so before I sign off, one thing. No doubt you’ve seen the story about how Strom Thurmond’s ancestors owned Al Sharpton’s ancestors. Would you please answer a few questions about this for me?

Who cares?
Why is this news?

The Discovery Channel franchise, the group of channels that brings us such intellectual fare as Big People, Little World, a reality show about a family of midgets, and How It’s Made, perhaps the best cure for insomnia ever developed, have apparently decided that they need more stupid TV shows, so they’re bringing us Bizarre Food […]

I was rather enjoying the heat wave here — it was 19 when I got up, and is supposed to get to 30 — until it started snowing. Again.
Is the Goracle here?
I did, however, run to the store this morning so I could satisfy a craving later today.
Biscuits and gravy.

It should be no surprise that this happened in that Mecca of Moonbattery, Madison:
Six peace activists who were arrested and ticketed for lying in the street in front of U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl’s downtown Madison office were found […]

Let’s start with this Einstein, a University of Wisconsin law professor who made what can euphemistically be called inflammatory comments — yes, in class — about the Hmong:
According to an e-mail sent to several law and Hmong students obtained by The Badger Herald, professor Leonard Kaplan spoke for 10 minutes using “racist and inappropriate” comments.

Via Andrew Bolt, this rather story:
IT does not happen often, but from time to time you have to feel sorry for politicians.
Take Peter Debnam. He’s Opposition Leader in NSW, and a committed Christian - and there he was yesterday, dressed head to toe in rubber, forced to talk about sex with […]

Ed Driscoll quotes a Ted Koppel interview with Farrakhan:
Farrakahn believes Elijah Muhammad, the (by all accounts deceased) former leader of the Nation of Islam, is living on a spaceship circling the planet. Also, a few years after Elijah “died,” the spaceship picked up Farrakhan and the two men had a nice chat with each other. […]

Newsweek agrees with me.

What was that again about how Europeans are so much more concerned about privacy than we are?

Ken DeRosa was challenged to back up his statements with data, and Ken being Ken, complied. Had he asked me, I could have told him he was wasting his time, as indeed he was.

The researchers based their findings on observations of omnivorous […]

A new (at least to me) blog, Kerplunk. And check out 10 signs that you’re a moral idiot while you’re there.

Benjamin Duffy:
The easiest way to tell the difference between a liberal and a leftist is that a liberal cheers against his country only when a Republican is in the White House, while a leftist cheers against his country all of the time.
Take the 1999 Kosovo War, for example. If you’ll remember correctly, the man in […]

You could, of course, make the case that their meds don’t work very well, but the moonbats are really barking at the full moon now: Eco-pilgrims gather to ‘heed the Goracle’ (h/t Little Green Footballs). In related news, Tim Blair, responsible for the word of the year so far (and who owes me at least […]

Tim Blair sez:
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz urges the world to understand the real issue behind terrorism:
“It is not related to any religion, culture or areas. It is related to poverty, suffering, removing sense of deprivation and injustice in the world.”
But according to a Gallup survey of 10,000 Muslims across ten countries, poverty and suffering […]

The greatest irony? Liberals referring to themselves as “reality-based.” Knock, knock. Anybody in there? Thanks to Betsy Newmark for the reference

is from Viking Pundit, on the AARP:
Let’s recap: one of the country’s largest lobbying groups, whose sole purpose is to influence federal policy to funnel cash to seniors, sponsors a survey on Social Security. That survey finds that Americans don’t want their benefits cut but are willing to let other people (the rich and young) […]
