Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

News bytes, Labor Day weekend edition

I don’t know if I’ll be blogging any this weekend, so if I don’t, here’s a News Bytes to last until Tuesday:

  • A Catholic school in Colorado saw a student chant “white power” and other students say that “All Mexicans should go back to Mexico!” Nice to see that they’ve learned a lot from their Christian education. (For those of you on the left, the prior sentence was sarcasm.) Being against illegal immigration is one thing, but being racist is a completely different (and unacceptable) animal. Their parents must be proud, huh? Morons!

  • While we’re piling on Colorado here, check this out. A Colorado government school has banned “tag” on its playground. Well, thank God (insert deity du jour here)! You child will never be “it” again, and that may be just the little bit of therapy that Little Johnny needs to get through his traumatic childhood. (See “sarcasm” disclaimer in previous bullet point).

  • Johnny Mac gets desperate: “Vote for me, because I was a POW. Look, here’s the video!”

  • In the Goreacle’s Church of the Earth Goddess, the priest is now offering confessionals for “eco-sinners.” Wonderful. Should they be expecting a visit from energy hogs (and hypocrites extraordinaire) John Edwards and Al Gore?

  • Economic ignorance abounds in Orlando. A gas station close to the airport charges $4.50 a gallon. Motorists cry foul (one even saying “this is a rip-off” and “corporate greed”), yet many fill up anyway. Here’s a suggestion: if you think $4.50 is too much for gas, then find another gas station! Every other station in O-Town charges about $1.90 less, so get to them already!

  • In Canuckistan, the Liberals there think a feces-hiding bird should be the symbol of their party. This one’s just way too easy!

    1. Ever been to the airport in Orlando? Toll booth on the highway just before you get to the offsite parking lots, no exits off the highway for what seems like 10 miles. Searching for a gas station is quite a quandry when travelling with kids in the rental and not knowing the area well. Most tourists (I hope the locals dont go the station that charges 4.50 a gallon) just figure there will be a choice of stations to stop at near the airport, in Orlando there isnt unless you look earlier than you think you need to.

    2. Ummm, what did I say before about the usage of the Goreacle® Trademark?

      Smithers, release the lawyers!

    4. Wow….I was out of country for the last two weeks and I did NOT miss the news here at all.

      Next they’ll ban hide and go seek because it might offend blind kids.

    5. WMD, I’ve been out towards O-town’s airport. Crazy, I tell ya!

      Henry, get those lawyers off of me! :-D

      Manic, as long as your blood is garnet and gold, you’ll never be expelled from here!

      Jenn, welcome back from Londonistan!
