Secret Service, Yoo Hoo, Over Here!

This sort of thing is disgusting. I sincerely fear one of these nut jobs is going to do something truly horrendous. I lived through the assassinations of President Kennedy, RFK and Martin Luther King. To wish or hope for such a thing is beyond treason. It's inhuman and evil.

To associate such sentiments with the Star of David is especially disgusting.

This is an abuse of free speech just as much as yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre. It should earn a visit from the Secret Service PDQ.

Meeping Marklars!

MEEP!

Don't know what it means? Don't worry -- most people over the age of 22 don't either.

A school principal threatens to suspend students who mimic a Muppet character.

But the nonsense word -- which apparently started with the 1980s Muppet character Beaker -- is causing a lot of teeth-gnashing for adults at one Massachusetts high school. They have gone so far as to threaten suspension for students caught meeping.

Now the police and lawyers are involved. From Jonathan Turley:

After reading the recent publications over the decision of the principal of Danvers High School banning students from saying the word “Meep,” Entertainment lawyer Theodora Michaels decided to act and wrote a letter using the four-letter word to Principal Thomas Murray, who comes across as a high school version of Dean Vernon Wormer from Animal House. She was immediately reported to the police for investigation by the school.

The comments at FARK are worth a look: "He embiggened this problem by using a very non-cromulent solution."

When marklars attempt to restrict the marklars of young marklars, all marklar can break out. If you keep a cool marklar when all about you marklars are losing their marklar you can achieve your marklar and set a good marklar for the young marklars. Marklar!

Outrage - HBO Documentary

They fight against same-sex marriage, AIDS research and adoption by gay parents. But are they fighting themselves? This eye-opening film explores the disturbing phenomenon of allegedly closeted gay politicians who vote down pro-gay legislation--and get a free pass from the media. Probing the hidden lives of some of the country's most powerful policymakers, the film examines how these politicians may have betrayed the confidence of American voters by denying the truth about themselves...and how the media has been complicit in keeping these secrets. (R) (AC,AL)

The hypocrisy on display is jaw-dropping. Please plan to watch.
