Good morning happy people. How is the world today? The Gulf is going to hell, the news media is populated with idiots, politicians are [still] strange, and we are all a day older.
But aside from all that, does anyone have an encouraging word? No? Darn.
Britain’s political process just gave birth to a new government. And it’s twins!

I hope JSF has a perfectly beautiful day, a cake with pink icing and sprinkles, friends gathered to serenade him and shower him with gifts, bluebirds bringing him every happiness, and all the wishes of his heart fulfilled.
Happy Birthday to Everyone’s Favorite Fuckhead!
(I had it in my daytimer, Pal, so don’t even think John is reminding me. As if.)
Looks like John got you a big old talking Jack in the Box ad, too. You are one special dude. And I mean that.
A bill that aims to ban ethnic studies in Arizona schools was signed into law Tuesday by Gov. Jan Brewer, cheering critics who called such classes divisive and alarming others who said it’s yet another law targeting Latinos in the state.
__
The move comes less than 20 days after Brewer signed a controversial immigration bill that has caused widespread protests against the state. The governor’s press office did not return requests for comment Tuesday evening.
__
HB 2281 bans schools from teaching classes that are designed for students of a particular ethnic group, promote resentment or advocate ethnic solidarity over treating pupils as individuals. The bill also bans classes that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government.
__
The bill was written to target the Chicano, or Mexican American, studies program in the Tucson school system, said state Supt. of Public Instruction Tom Horne.
__
School districts that don’t comply with the new law could have as much as 10% of their state funds withheld each month. Districts have the right to appeal the mandate, which goes into effect Dec. 31.
So, presumably, this also outlaws any class by and for TeaTards and elected Republicans, who continually argue for the overthrow of the U.S. government.

JSF: Happy Fucking Birthday to you…! You’re a crack up when you are not being a wanker. ;)

This whole thing about global warming – I am absolutely incredulous at the gullibility of people. What is this hysteria over drowning polar bears? And finally I realized, people don’t know polar bears can swim! For me, the answer is always more facts, more basic information, presented without sentimentality and without drama. To inflict this kind of anxiety on young people is an outrage.
“People don’t know polar bears can swim!”
And flying fish can fly, for a while, but they don’t live in forests.

So all the bears need to do is grow a pair of gills?
Never forget that Paglia is a hardcore Palinite. Also, too.
Happy birthday. Your name is the best user name on BJ.
Now I have to get back to cleaning the house. My brother and sister in law and their 2 year old daughter are coming tomorrow.

Happy birthday, Fuckhead!
(Now there’s a phrase I would like to use more often, but I fear some might take it the wrong way.)
@El Cid: I suppose Paglia can swim, too, so she wouldn’t mind if we tossed her out in the middle of the Gulf, right? “Have a good swim, Camille; see you at the du Monde! We’ll save some beignets for you!”

A month or two ago, someone had a good rant about the republicans/tea baggers and how they didn’t say shit when Bush was president and the republicans were in power. They listed off many different things that they now complain about and blame democrats or the president because he’s black.
Anyone remember that? Can someone point me to the post?
Thanks!

Also, H/T to The Poor Man Institute for noting, once again, that Camille Paglia is dumber than a bag of dog shit.

When I read articles like this, I think to myself, “Sweet Jesus, do I hate America.” Except now I’m not keeping it to myself.
