Clearly that liberals hate the flag, America, and freedom. Only conservatives are patriots. Only conservatives are real Americans.

Quote
On any other day at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Daniel Galli and his four friends would not even be noticed for wearing T-shirts with the American flag. But Cinco de Mayo is not any typical day especially on a campus with a large Mexican American student population.
Galli says he and his friends were sitting at a table during brunch break when the vice principal asked two of the boys to remove American flag bandannas that they wearing on their heads and for the others to turn their American flag T-shirts inside out. When they refused, the boys were ordered to go to the principal's office.
"They said we could wear it on any other day," Daniel Galli said, "but today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it's supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today."

On a scale from 1 to 10 how happy does this story make EB liberals?


Isn't wearing American flags as clothing/bandanas considered tacky and even disrespectful to the flag? Clearly the principle did the right thing

What does EB think?

It's inevitable.

On a personal level. Pay thousands of dollars a year for health insurance or a couple hundred dollar fine. Not a tough decision.

First of all, the "write down" these corps are complaining about is the lost corporate welfare they so enjoyed. Boo hoo. Second, worker's pay and benefits have been stagnant or declining for the pat 30 years. Corps only look out for themselves so this is not really a surprise to me.

Saying that AT&T slide is correct, they will have to find something to invest that money in if it's not its workers or a huge chunk of that is going to taxes.

I think they are doing something that every American will do. They will sit down and determine which way is the cheapest and choose that route. We do not value health care in this country and many millions of Americans will still go without.

From fivethirtyeight:

2:39 AM [Thomas D.] As the Lib Dems look like they're having a flop of Howard Dean proportions, the pundits will surely be asking what went wrong. Could be a case of too much tact. As a Tory government looked more likely in the past week, and Clegg flirted with joining a Tory coalition, leaning Lib Dem voters could have reverted back to Labour.

Makes a lot of sense.

Britain is heading for its first hung Parliament since 1974, with the Conservatives the largest party, according to an updated Sky News forecast.

The new projection puts the Tories on course to win 309 seats, followed by Labour on 259 and the Lib Dems sliding to 54. Other parties share 28 seats.
The estimated result would see David Cameron's party missing out on the 326 MPs needed for an overall majority by 17 seats.

A municipal court judge in New Jersey resigned this week after the state Supreme Court advised him not to promote his new movie -- a satire about President Obama's life that depicts him making a deal with the devil in order to become a communist dictator.

"It put me in an impossible position," the ex-judge, Kenneth Del Vecchio, told TPM in an interview today. "I had two choices: Either I could remain as a judge and shut up and have no free speech rights whatsoever ... or I had to resign."

Del Vecchio, a prolific filmmaker and author, produced, wrote and stars in "O.B.A.M. Nude," a movie about a coke-addled college student who sells his soul to the devil in order to impose his socialist will on the country. Satan starts him out by hooking him up with the "Righteous Reverend," a "close friend" of the devil's.

i love how much that guy wants to be crucified and look like a victim in all of this :lol

i think im going to email this guy and explain to him why he is an idiot, i think itll go something like this:

"theyre takin away muh free speech!"

uh no, they arent, you idiot(dont worry i will back up this claim with more than enough evidence in a little bit), you contacted them and they told you it probably wasnt a good idea, in so many words, which is obvious, what did you expect, the supreme court to condone ANY movie nevertheless a movie that suggests the president of the united states of america made a deal with satan?

"They're censoring the content of my movie," he said. "I can only state what the facts are. ... Draw your own conclusion."

ok, ill do that, i have concluded that you are an idiot and that, no, nobody is trying to censor anything here (parody is protected, after all, you know, you really should have already known this because you are a judge, and judges are expected to know stuff about stuff like laws) they are simply advising you that it wouldnt be a good idea, they are, after all, ADVISORS, that is kind of what they do

in conclusion to my conclusion: nobody would have cared if you never alerted the supreme court advisory committee (including them, especially them) hell, nobody would have heard about the movie, which is honestly probably why you pulled a stupid career (is it really a career if it didnt even last as long as conan o briens tonight show?) suicide stunt like this, you idiot you

sincerely,

me

Rekers Paid Escort $75 A Day For Luggage, Massage Services
Rachel Slajda | May 7, 2010, 5:54PM
   
George Rekers, a leader of the ex-gay movement who was caught recently employing a male escort, paid the escort $75 a day for his services during a 10-day trip to Europe, which included carrying luggage and daily one-hour massages, according to a contract obtained by CNN.

The escort, "Lucien," gave AC360 a copy of the contract, which also stipulated that Rekers would pay for his airfare. Lucien, which is not his real name, will appear on the show tonight.

Rekers is one of the co-founders of the Family Research Council and a board member at the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality. He's also been paid as an expert witness for the states of Arkansas and Florida in their defense of bans on gay couples adopting children. Although he's admitted hiring Lucien, he says he didn't know he was a prostitute and, when he found out, only wanted to save him from his "sins."

He also says nothing sexual happened. Lucien, however, says the daily massages included something called "the long stroke," which included touching Rekers in rather sexual areas.

The contract also suggests Rekers had employed the escort before their trip.

He was to give the massages "using the same procedures ("Lucien") provided to George Rekers in Florida."

NARTH today released a statement on the scandal.

"NARTH takes seriously the accusations that have been made,and we are currently attempting to understand the details behind these press reports," the statement reads. "We are always saddened when this type of controversy impacts the lives of individuals, and we urge all parties to allow a respectful and thorough investigation to take place."

"We also wish to reiterate our traditional position that these personal controversies do not change the scientific data, nor do they detract from the important work of NARTH."

Also, I stopped saying gypped a few years ago but I'm a bleeding heart PC nazi.  I don't think you get to play the "you are callously disrespecting the collective identity of an ethnic group!" card if you casually compare hypothetical service requirements to historical American slavery.  One or the other, it would seem to me.

The best way to view California Senate Candidate Carly Fiorina's awesomely bizarre new primary campaign ad--which includes shots of an alien robot sheep, or something--is by pressing play on your cassette tape of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon just as you click play on YouTube.

The coolest part of the whole thing is that Fiorina is positing fiscal conservatives as sheep, which is a bit like Barack Obama running a spot that posits liberals as leeches or lizards. Also, is it weird that the ad never shows Fiorina's face? Is it better that voters know their candidates by the backs of their heads? More please, more.

ALSO: I must state the obvious: The odd genius of the ad is that it is so weird that you will click on it online, and bloggers like me will link to it. The message is delivered.
