A high school student in Northglenn, CO has been told to remove the flags from his truck because it might make someone feel uncomfortable!

The campus security told him that since the school "focuses on diversity", she didn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable.

Mind you this is an American high school, paid for by American taxpayers. Now just whom are we concerned about making uncomfortable?

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit 35 miles off Christchurch in New Zealand today (Saturday for New Zealanders). A smaller 5.7 aftershock hit 20 minutes later. Because the earthquake struck in the early morning hours there are currently no reports of casualties though there has been property damage to both insides and outsides of buildings.

No, it's not a replay of the BP oil spill of April, this is a new oil well explosion. It's totally within probability, but at least interesting that this happens 1 day after a judge turns down Obama's second try at a off-shore drilling moratorium and the very day BP was suppose to remove the temporary cap on their well.

This explosion is reported west of the BP rig and there are no reported deaths. Thirteen crew members were rescued in the water.

The platform is in about 340 feet of water and about 100 miles south of Vermilion Bay on the central Louisiana coast. It's location is considered shallow water, much less than the approximately 5,000 feet where BP's well spewed oil and gas for three months after an April rig explosion.

Mariner Energy, Inc. owns the platform which another company, Apache Corp., had announced plans to buy in April.

The deadlocked jury for former Governor Rod Blagojevich finally reached a verdict today. They found Blago guilty of lying to the FBI and remained deadlocked on the other 23 counts. In other words, the jury did not find Blago guilty of the most serious count of trying to sell Barack Obama's former Senate seat. Judge James B. Zagel announced he will call a mistrial on the 23 counts and the prosecution vows to cost the taxpayers even more money by retrying Blago.

For me, Rod Blagojevich is guilty of the very same offenses of which Barack Obama and his henchmen are guilty. They all tried to sell the senate seat; Blago got caught because he threatened not to play ball with the "right" people.

With Barack Obama given cover by claiming to be too busy (even though it's clear that he lied to the press when he said he'd had no contact regarding the choosing of a successor) as President to bother to testify in something he proven to be involved, it's pretty hard to wish a conviction for Blago. Truth is: I wish a conviction for both of them and all the other players (like Jesse Jackson Jr.) in the scam on the American people.

But then, let's go a step further and convict the election workers finding ballots in the trunk of their car and other abnormalities that put Al Franken in office!

A plane crashed in Alaska carrying the former NASA head, Sean O'Keefe and former Senator Ted Stevens. Both were taking their sons on a fishing trip at private lodge. The plane crashed sometime last night near Dillingham in poor weather; rescue efforts are underway.

Reports say the crash site has not been reached by rescuers but some observers have been at the site since late last night. There were nine people aboard, 5 are reported dead amidst very sketchy details.

UPDATE
Unconfirmed reports that former Senator Ted Stevens died in the crash. Though there has been no official release of those that died in the crash.

The US Taxpayers work hard for their money. They are required to pay taxes to support the US Government. This supposedly pays for the services we all share. However, as just one example of the fraud perpetrated on the US taxpayer, last year the US Government paid $110 billion in benefits to dead people and felons, along with improper payments due to typos!

So this has come to the attention of Barack Hussein Obama, ever watchful over the people's money! What has he done?

Obama chose to sign the bill in front of cameras in the White House's State Dining Room in hopes of bringing attention to the new law. He announced a goal of reducing improper payments by $50 billion by 2012; the White House says that last year's total of nearly $110 billion in these payments was the highest ever.

Wow, only half a ripoff next year!

HotAir has the story. Apparently "investigative journalists" have just discovered their own plot from over 2 years ago to hide the racist Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his relationship with Barack Hussein Obama!

Perhaps they were all on vacation like Bob Schieffer when the news happened.

Instead of covering things like the fraudulent MN election that put Al Franken into the US Senate, the Black Panthers intimidating voters but getting away scott free, Barack Obama's relationships with Rev. Wright, BP and Bill Ayers, the false video labeling the Tea Party as racists - The Washington Post has better things to do. Like revealing national secrets and putting targets on the backs of those that assist the US Government!

"The Washington Post plans to publish a website listing all agencies and contractors believed to conduct Top Secret work on behalf of the U.S. Government," the notice reads. "The website provides a graphic representation pinpointing the location of firms conducting Top Secret work, describing the type of work they perform, and identifying many facilities where such work is done."

Way to go investigating slime balls! Can any of you spell treason?

I'll let you read the interview if you can stand it.

Suffice it to say that Katie Couric did everything she could to first get Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to say something negative about Barack Hussein Obama. It must have galled Couric that it appeared Netanyahu and Obama were mending some badly damaged fences; because she did everything in her power to send a torpedo through the fence.

Couric knows, like the rest of America, that Obama is narcissistic and arrogant enough to come unglued and seek reprisal for anyone daring to disparage him in the press.

After numerous fail attempts to get Netanyahu to trip, Couric switched to a full attack mode suggesting that Netanyahu was responsible for Israeli's poor opinion of Barack Hussein Obama by not promoting Obama more in Israel!

How do you promote a guy to your nation when he totally snubbed you on your last visit and then took the side of those who beat your soldiers with tire irons and pipes?

The US Supreme Court issued its opinion in a case involving Chicago banning hand guns. The divided 5 - 4 Court said states must also abide by the US Constitution which afford US Citizens the right to bear Arms.

"A provision in the Bill of Rights that protects a right that is fundamental from an American perspective applies equally to the federal government and the states," Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the court.

It's understandable that a city such as Chicago would want to get guns off the streets. There's a lot of crime committed with guns. However, banning something afforded as a right of citizens isn't the answer. Criminals don't obey laws; Citizens do.
