Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
IRS accused of hiding existence of Tea Party-targeting documents ~
Yeah, cause it was all really just a coincidence…
“Either IRS Headquarters was entirely incompetent in maintaining awareness of prominent policies and documents within the IRS, or it deliberately covered up the existence of anti-conservative IRS policies. Either is terrifying,” Maurice Thompson, Executive Director of the 1851 Center, said in a statement. “Legal action is necessary to ensure that the IRS does not lie to taxpayers in this manner in the future.”
But wait – there’s more; IRS Expedited Tax Exemption for Obama Foundation While Stiffing Tea Party ~ Oops! How did that happen? (Barack H. Obama Foundation – founder and chairman is Abon’go Malik Obama, President’s 1/2 brother)
“O’s” bro gets a pass!
And more; Report: EPA followed double standard for conservative groups too? Greenies got fast-tracked 92% of the time.
Not to mention; the anti-conservative bias in Homeland Security guidelines.
BUT, give Barack a break ~ Obama just found out Friday that the IRS was targeting conservatives 😯
Americans Are Wasting Their Time And Money On College ~ Some advice for this year’s crop of high school grads, from a career expert. Up to 85% of them should probably rethink college and focus on internships. (T)he knowledge economy has made information — and more opportunities — accessible to anyone.
And there’s always the indoctrination factor to consider.
4th Annual Abortion ‘Bowl-a-thon’ Breaks Fundraising Record, Raises $500K to Help Poor Women, Girls Buy Abortions ~
“Thank-you for your support! Now we can murder more unborn babies!”
Another one of those stories that just leaves me speechless ~
NNAF says “one of the best things” about the Bowl-a-Thon is the “brilliant names” people come up with for their teams. Last year they included titles like “If Only Limbaugh’s Mom Used Birth Control,” and “The Dude Aborts.”
This year was no exception, with names such as “Abortion Robot Squad,” “Back Alley Ballbusters,” and “fetus daddies.”
“The Terminators,” who raised $881, said they joined the Bowl-a-Thon because abortion is a “matter of basic fairness.”
“Every woman deserves to choose when and if to become a mother, regardless of the size of her paycheck,” the team said.
Deserve to “choose?” Do any of them even “deserve” to be mothers?!
(Well OK – I’m not totally speechless)
Bread & Circuses ~
Amid scandals, White House announces star-studded concert in East Room ~ May 28th event will honor singer/songwriter Carole King. We the sheeple can vicariously share in the festivities by tuning into our local PBS stations.
Let us eat cake!
Risky Religion ~ As I mentioned, this past week Congressional House Members have called on the Pentagon to ensure freedom of religion for service members, but concerns remain over military’s treatment of soldiers who share their faith.
