American Thinker Blog: Arizona passes law banning multilingual requirement for businesses
"Arizona did it again!
Fresh from signing a law that reinforces a federal law giving police the right to ask a person stopped by police for an unrelated matter to produce papers proving the right to be legally in the US, followed by a law banning schools from teaching minority/ethnic studies courses advocating separatism, group superiority and subversion of this country, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (R) signed legislation affirming that nothing in state law requires businesses to provide 'trained and competent' interpreters when a customer comes in speaking a language other than English. Assistant Attorney General Michael Walker said that has probably always been the law.
If it was always the law, why the need for this law?
Because of a lawsuit of course.
A unilingual Spanish speaking woman in Arizona was treated by a unilingual English speaking optometrist in his Arizona office.
The woman's underage 12 year old daughter offered to be the interpreter; fearing legal, insurance and medical problems if the child misunderstood the optometrist refused, asking the mother and child to return with an English speaker over 18 or alternatively, visit some Spanish speaking optometrists.
Instead, the Spanish speaker, whether legally in this country or not, understood enough of this country to file a discrimination suit against the English speaking optometrist.
Refusing to settle, the optometrist finally won after the Arizona Attorney General took a year to decide no laws had been broken."

“On eight separate occasions, President Barack Obama has referred to the ‘green economy’ policies enacted by Spain as being the model for what he envisioned for America…
But today’s leaked document reveals that even the socialist Spanish government now acknowledges the ruinous effects of green economic policy.”

College campuses embrace coed dorm rooms
College campuses embrace coed dorm rooms Philadelphia Inquirer
"Swarthmore juniors Jen Crick and her boyfriend, Omer Ikizler, didn't set out to live together this semester, but after failing to find single rooms on the same hall, they found the next best thing: a dorm room they could share.
Not just a coed dormitory, or coed hallway, but the very same room.
Across the nation's campuses, a small but growing number of students are signing up to live with the opposite sex, with 50-plus colleges and universities offering coed suites and coed rooms."
Isn't that nice.....

CBS Skips Any Mention of Dem Senate Candidate's Military Scandal, NBC Avoids Party ID | NewsBusters.org
CBS Skips Any Mention of Dem Senate Candidate's Military Scandal, NBC Avoids Party ID NewsBusters.org: "CBS's Early Show on Tuesday completely ignored the front page New York Times story on Democratic senatorial candidate Richard Blumenthal and his claims to have 'served in Vietnam,' despite having never done so."
Distorting the Truth About Crime and Race
"Here are the crime data that the Times doesn’t want its readers to know:
blacks committed 66 percent of all violent crimes in the first half of 2009 (though they were only 55 percent of all stops and only 23 percent of the city’s population).
Blacks committed 80 percent of all shootings in the first half of 2009.
Together, blacks and Hispanics committed 98 percent of all shootings.
Blacks committed nearly 70 percent of all robberies.
Whites, by contrast, committed 5 percent of all violent crimes in the first half of 2009, though they are 35 percent of the city’s population (and were 10 percent of all stops).
They committed 1.8 percent of all shootings and less than 5 percent of all robberies.
The face of violent crime in New York, in other words, like in every other large American city, is almost exclusively black and brown.
Any given violent crime is 13 times more likely to be committed by a black than by a white perpetrator—a fact that would have been useful to include in the Times’s lead, which stated that “Blacks and Latinos were nine times as likely as whites to be stopped.”
These crime data are not some artifact that the police devise out of their skewed racial mindset.
They are what the victims of those crimes—the vast majority of whom are minority themselves—report to the police."
Look for more of this type of "reporting" in your local news reportagers.....yeah right....

"Not just any Democratic Senate candidate, either.
It’s Richard Blumenthal, current attorney general of Connecticut, whom Chris Dodd made way for by retiring earlier this year.
He’s been leading all Republican challengers by upwards of 20 points in the polls and was considered a mortal lock to win the seat in November.
Until now."
BIG!
