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…

First of all, I’m inclined to believe cutting water rescues was just a scam to get people to accept a tax hike. Sadly, a lot of towns and counties will first cut or threaten to cut stuff that the public sees as essential just to get more money. My city has done it a few time with the police force, yet always finds money somewhere to keep the cops when the tax hike is voted down.

I’m more curious about the first responders. I realize anyone going into the water would lose their job, but is the job market in California so bad that it’s worth letting someone die to stay employed? What am I missing here?

What does this prove? Ultimately, nobody knows the future. There are plenty of unforeseen variable changes that made these predictions incorrect. It also doesn’t help that politicizing environmental issues led to a big bunch of fear mongering for political gain.
