Pop Tart Politics
By now you’ve heard of the mouth modified assault pop tart caper. A seven year old Maryland boy was suspended from school for gnawing a pop tart into the shape of a gun.
You can laugh but even an unloaded pop tart is more dangerous than you think.
Says Mark Steyn, “You’re doomed, America, You’re done for. No society can survive this level of stupidity.”
As I write this, news comes in of T.J. Lane, a high schooler with a real gun who killed real people in Chardon, Ohio a year ago. He just received three life sentences without parole. In court he expressed his remorse with a smirk while wearing a t-shirt emblazoned “killer” in hand lettering. He turned to the members of his victims’ families and told them he masturbated to the memory and gave them the finger.
I think his prison term will be short.
Sequester Break
The White House only has one president, one press secretary, and one dog minder – at a hundred and two grand a year. You’d think they could could make do with one calligrapher. But no, they have three.
Here’s a Mark Steyn piece on what a bargain the British Royal family is compared to our White House royalty.
Slippery Slope
Rand Paul’s 13 hour filibuster, extracted an agreement from the administration not to kill American citizens sitting in American cafes. For those keeping score, the Holder/Obama team has whacked 3 Americans so far.
That still leaves this administration 77 short of the Clinton/Reno mark of 80 killed in Waco Texas.
However, President Obama has shown the remarkable ability to extend the kill zone for American citizens and constitutional rights for foreign terrorists at the same time! In early March Bin Laden’s son-in-law, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, was picked up in Jordan and brought to New York for trial. Along the way he was read his Miranda rights.
The true test of Obama’s power is – will Sulaiman be forced to buy health insurance?
White House Tour
There may not be any White House access for the kids who want a spring break tour. But there’s plenty to go around for Obama cronies who want to drop by and drop off cash under the perpetual campaign operation known as Organizing for Action. Kimberly Strassel of the WSJ thinks the president has “jumped the sequester” on this one.
TSA
The TSA released new traveler friendly guidelines. Hockey sticks, golf clubs and pocket knives (but not box-cutters) are ok for carry-on. Leave the shampoo at home.
