Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
Kentucky Derby ~ Today’s the 138th annual “Run for the Roses” – time to pick your favorite. KentuckyDerby.net has current stats, past winners, traditions and a Mint Julep recipe.
 
Did Obama’s Immorality Influence Secret Service Agents in Colombian Prostitute/Sex Scandal? Um, I’m thinking “YES.” “How can we expect Americans in general, let alone the Secret Service agents, to uphold the law and have moral integrity if our own President does not seem to?” Indeed.
 
Occupy’s image blown to smithereens ~ Recount of the inept anarchists arrested for trying to blow up the Ohio 82 bridge across the Cuyahoga River Valley. Their mugshots say it all.
 
And in a related story, at the Blaze: Shocking Review of Occupy, Progressive & Anarchist Training Manuals ~ A refresher course in the tactics used by progressives, anarchists, Occupiers, the 99% Spring and labor unions in their collective push to rise up against the 1%. There’s even a book for kids: “A Rule is to Break: A Child’s Guide to Anarchy.” These people are psychotic!
 
School Says “Jesus” Shirt is Hate Speech ~ Canadian High School student suspended for week for wearing a shirt with the message: “Life is WASTED without Jesus.”

“I’ve been told by my principal that it is hate talk and is disrespectful to other people’s religions,” Swinimer said. “She said it (the shirt) cannot be in school because people would get offended.”

Christ isn’t surprised. He’s been “offending” people for 2000 years.
