No Child Left Behind except in…..
….Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. Another 28 states are now applying for waivers from the piece of crap legislation that IS actually Bush’s fault. At what point do you stop writing waivers and repeal the legislation altogether since it’s proving to be an unworkable money sink?? Continue reading

Rights vs. wants
John Nolte over at Big Journalism beats me to something that’s been niggling at my brain for the last little while–free birth control. In the fight for the First Amendment, which is the most important part of the Obamacare birth control mandate, something has not been brought into the forefront. The fact that not only… Continue reading

And this is one reason I love my Chick-fil-A
So I try to slide in for a quick breakfast sandwich this morning and promptly get busted by a friend who spotted me on my alternate route to facilitate my Chick-fil-A stop. Phone Call: “Why are you coming up YYY street this morning?” Me: Because I’m trying to sneak into Chick-fil-A for breakfast… *sigh* In… Continue reading

Aaaannnd they caved. The Komen Foundation that is….
Bowing low to pressure and some pretty hateful Facebook postings, the Komen Foundation is now going to put its money back into Planned Parenthood rather than use it for clinics that actually, you know, provide mammograms. Such a shame…. Continue reading

More on the Komen bruhaha….
Via Gateway Pundit, it was reported that Komen pulled its funding from Planned Parenthood because they don’t do mammograms–they only do mammogram referrals. They don’t want to do ‘pass-through’ grants. “….What we would like is to have clinics where we can directly fund mammograms,” tweeted Komen CEO Nancy Brinker Himself and Broken Andy (in comments… Continue reading
