Happy President's Day!

A California Assemblyman (of course a Democrat) has introduced a bill requiring that all government high school science curriculums include teaching “climate change.”  I’m sure they will be taught valuable skills of logical deduction, such as blaming a cold snap on global warming, as they have in India.  Of course, they will have to skip over teaching students astronomy, because that might lead them to believe that global warming is caused by the sun!

 

Bill Clinton had a fight with an Obama supporter while campaigning for his wife.  The guy was rude, but it still shows that the Clintons are incapable of taking criticism.

 

Also on the Democrat side, some of the early vote totals from New York showed Obama getting no votes in almost 80 precincts, while a recount is showing him considerably closer to Clinton than originally believed.

 

Hillary aide Harold Ickes now wants the delegates from Michigan and Florida to be seated at the convention.  I wonder why?  Perhaps because she is getting more bad news, in the form of black superdelegates leaving her to support Obama.  She has other supporters who are not pleased with her strategy of depending on superdelegates to carry the victory for her.

 

British health authorities are considering forcing people to get a license in order to buy tobacco products.

 

The cost of entitlements for senior citizens is up 24% since 2000.

 

By a 45-39 margin, Americans say that socialized medicine would be better than the current health care system.  About a third of Americans, however, don’t even know what socialized medicine is.

 

Big shock here:  Mitt Romney has endorsed John McCain.

 

Remember those FEMA trailers that the pieces of human waste exposed by Hurricane Katrina are living in?  They have formaldehyde in them.  Good incentive for them to become self-reliant for once in their lives.

 

The state of Virginia set up a fund where residents can voluntarily give more of their hard-earned money to the government.  How has that worked out?  It brings in less than $2,000 per year.

 

Today is President’s Day, so of course we get one of these idiotic polls about who Americans think was the greatest President.  Most of the Americans polled I’m sure could not mention a specific achievement of any of the Presidents they said were great.

 

Doug Giles weighs in on last week’s shooting on the campus of Northern Illinois University, saying (rightly) that college campuses need to get over this “gun free zone” nonsense.
