“

The disputes are arising, ironically, but predictably, over money. They have something like $500,000 in the bank.

Dwell on that last sentence for a few moments.

A rag-tag populist movement with socialist roots, an ill-defined mission, and an internal policing problem, has a “General Assembly” and a “Finance Committee,” and has raised $500,000 in a few short weeks which they’re keeping in the bank. I’ve got no problem with them keeping their money in a safe place like a bank, but aren’t the bankers and financiers the Worst People in the Their World?

AaronMahnke: A Social Media Cleanse

aaronmahnke:

I have some friends who have done cleanses. A cleanse is a method of removing toxins from your body over a short period of time. There are foods to avoid, foods to stock up on and generally a lot of things to get rid of permanently. Lots of sacrifice, but the payoff is huge. Weight loss, better…

Christopher Coates Testimony to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights

alexrudloff:

In summary: The former head of the DOJ’s voter’s rights division has testified that an Obama appointee has made the decision that voter intimidation laws will only be enforced if it protects minorities, not whites (despite legislation & court precedence for treating cases in a race neutral way). Eligible voter list enforcement will also not take place, despite certain minority districts showing voter lists some 130% the size of the actual population.

It gets better. Despite the legally issued supeona to testify, the Department of Justice instructed Coates not to comply. Coates did comply, and is claiming protection under federal whistle blowing laws.

Coates was appointed to the DoJ by President Bill Clinton, and is a former attorney for the ACLU.

Here’s a link to his testimony, given September 24th, 2010. While the media was 100% focused on Colbert, something like this was happening. Thank god for the internet.

One obvious problem with the SweetFarts philosophy of education is that it is more suited to producing a generation of barbarians and morons than to raising the sort of men who make good husbands, fathers and professionals. If you keep meeting a boy where he is, he doesn’t go very far.

How to Raise Boys That Read - WSJ

aewsome: To answer everyone’s questions: The bullets in the bandolier are individually capped double shots of Jack Daniels Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey. The vest has twelve 12oz. High Lifes. (The champagne of beers) The belt has six 16oz. tall boys of Budweiser, or as we call them here in NYC… “Ice colds.” There are no ice packs or other forms of refrigeration keeping them cold. The whole point is to encourage you to give the beers and shots away before they get hot, thereby making you the life of the party. Then you go downstairs, refill, and do it again. PARTY HARD OR DON’T PARTY AT ALL.

PostPartisan - Why Obama doesn't get Glenn Beck

alexrudloff:

Not every American who marches behind a hateful crackpot is a hateful crackpot. The peaceful, thoughtful throng that assembled for Louis Farrakhan at the Million Man March in 1995 — including a young Barack Obama — proved that point. Notwithstanding some commentary, I tend to feel the same way about the much different (and rather smaller) assemblage that gathered at the behest of Glenn Beck in Washington last Saturday.

Good stuff.
