Then, on a news source people actually care about; Twitter:

“Same-sex couples should be able to get married.”—President Obama

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) May 9, 2012

While I don’t question his sincerity, as I’m pretty sure he’s supported it for a while, I find it interesting that he does this about the time it’s starting to look like the majority of voters are shifting in favor of same-sex marriage.

What some see as an important shift for our country is pretty much a tactic to switch the focus of the campaign off of the economy.

I suppose these types of things shouldn’t surprise me anymore, but they do. I’m just baffled by how these people can ignore historic example after historic example of how socialism doesn’t work, and still think it would be different here. Absolutely baffled.

Say what you will about The Daily Show, this is funny stuff. Also, if anyone wants to let me in on the difference between private property and personal property, I’d be forever grateful!

This aired a few weeks ago, and is worth checking out.

Yeah, this is a little troubling.

On a personal level, I’m not a fan of makeup, especially on young teens. I feel it operates more as a security blanket than anything.

However…

It is totally up to the individual and/or their parents in the case of kids as to whether they wear the stuff. It is a troubling trend in western countries that schools are trying to parent the students. If the bathrooms are clogged, you set bathroom rules, you don’t step in with some insane rules about makeup and mirrors.

Bill O’Reilly and ABC News’ Brian Ross discuss the Solyndra scandal. Not sure how this will shake out, but it isn’t looking good for the White House at the moment.

I’d be willing to bet most people on the street think we’re already in another recession, so in that sense, I guess you could argue the danger has passed. Otherwise, I suspect the President needs some new advisers.

Yep, that’s CBS’s Nora O’Donnell lamenting that they, “…gave them everything they wanted, and we got nothing.” Seems Ms. O’Donnell has forgotten that the job of the media is to report the facts, not promote an agenda.

Television’s days are numbered, and TV news cannot survive if reporters choose propaganda over journalism. Something else will take their place, and I’m curious to see what it is.

HT: Breitbart

Seems like a smart move on paper, as he has a better chance if he’s not spreading his resources over two campaigns, but I don’t think he has much of a chance to receive the Republican nomination, meaning one of the sane voices talking about how to fix the economy could be out of a job next year. Of course, we’re probably better off without his foreign policy ideas…
