News Briefs

There isn't a whole lot in the news (well, there is a lot in the news... just not much worth knowing about). Here's a few tidbits.

General:

You know, I'm usually not one to question someone's salvation. It's between the person and God. I may comment on their lack of Christian behavior, but that's usually as far as I'll go. In this case, my first reaction was "isn't there something in the Koran about lying to infidels being perfectly ok and even encouraged if it helps in the pursuit of jihad?" Yeah... I'm a cynic.
This woman and her son are nuts, for a lot of reasons. She felt sorry for him, so she bought him an armory???? He's homeschooled (thanks for helping that "homeschoolers are a little off" stereotype), and he's being bullied by kids from the public school. How does that work? His response to being bullied is to kill them all???? It might seem like I'm mocking, but I'm not. I just don't get it. His dad either was in prison or still is in prison for manslaughter, his mom pulls him out of school (don't know why) and then buys him 2 guns (I have no idea where the rest of his arsenal came from). Parent of the year nominees, right there.
The Goracle got the Nobel Peace Prize for his factually erred zealotry concerning global warning. This just proves to the world that the Nobel Prize Committee panders to propagandists, terrorists, thugs, and their supporters (not to mention naive peace activists). (Granted, they have been known to get it right, too.) (ok... this is funny...)
I'm sure that Planned Parenthood and eugenics advocates are happy about this.
One of the parents who received a "your kid is overweight" note from their kid's school is upset because, and I quote," The part that upset her the most as she started reading it, there it stated that she was overweight and she started to cry saying, 'Mom, that school tells me I'm fat.' So, it was very heart wrenching." Uh... she didn't know she was overweight? How does that happen? And, yes... Mom actually said "she's big boned." ugh.
Vlad scares me.
Rafi shows, once again, just how... moronic Iranian leadership is.
So... a student comments that the VaTech massacre might not have happened if there wasn't a ban on guns on campus, and he gets suspended and has to have a "mental health evaluation." huh?
