THE RULING CLASS TAKES CARE OF ITS OWN: Corrupt former mayor right at home teaching at Harvard. “Antonio Villaraigosa, a former mayor of Los Angeles who racked up countless ethics violations and used taxpayers money to refurbish his yacht, will lecture at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government in the fall.”
A key role of the academic sector is to provide landing pads for retired/disgraced politicians, as well as holding areas for those waiting out an election cycle. Related: Politico: Hillary Clinton considering academic options. “Hillary Clinton is fielding offers from colleges and universities — including Harvard and her law school alma mater, Yale — to give her a formal academic role, a move that would give her a platform outside her family’s foundation. . . . The advantage to Clinton of an academic platform, beyond the scope of her policy interests, could be huge for someone considering a presidential run. It would provide her with a credible backdrop for speeches and events that would take her outside of a hotel ballroom or something sponsored by her family’s foundation or another outside group.”
If elected President, she’ll no doubt find a way to return the favor.

An apology letter to Mr. Obama
An apology letter to Mr. Obama | The Matt Walsh Blog:
The fact is, a rodeo clown in Missouri made fun of you.
Nothing can ever ease the pain he has caused.
This sort of crass lampooning of public officials has never happened at a rodeo until now, and I know that because a bunch of people who have never been within 150 miles of a rodeo said so.

And then — worse still — the crowd erupted in applause at the spectacle of a guy in an Obama mask being chased by a rampaging bull.
Racists, the lot of ‘em!
I mean, Bush never got this sort of treatment.
Nobody ever mocked or satirized him.
No crude jokes were told about him.
Nobody ever wished violence or death upon him.
Ever.
You know why?
Because he’s white.
White presidents always get treated nicely, especially white Republicans.
Just ask Lincoln.
The whole country agreed for over two centuries that we don’t ever insult presidents, then you get into office and all of a sudden every day is Pick on the President Day.
Outrageous!
Besides, you are due some respect.
Besides, you are due some respect.
You’ve earned it.
You’ve done nothing but serve these people and make their lives better, and this is how they treat you? Ungrateful brats.
You should drone bomb these haters.
Just kidding.
But seriously, you should.

“When one carefully reads the report, we find that the NOAA findings actually do confirm precisely what the skeptics have been claiming all along:
1. The Earth has stopped warming.
2. The climate models exaggerated future warming [caused by] CO2 climate sensitivity is much lower than we first thought."

DC Transgender Law Allows Birth Certificate Revision
DC Transgender Law Allows Birth Certificate Revision:
"A new law in Washington DC allows individuals to change the sex designation on their birth certificate based on the gender they personally identify as, no matter what sexual organs they actually have.
It's called the Marriage Officiant Amendment Act of 2013 and it repeals the old law that requires a surgical sex-change operation for an official gender switch on an individual's birth certificate.
Now, people who want to change their assigned sex in the eyes of the state only need to provide a written request and a signed statement from a healthcare provider."

"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently released its “State of the Climate in 2012” report, which states that “worldwide, 2012 was among the 10 warmest years on record.”
But the report “fails to mention [2012] was one of the coolest of the decade, and thus confirms the cooling trend,” according to an analysis by climate blogger Pierre Gosselin.
“To no one’s surprise, the report gives the reader the impression that warming is galloping ahead out of control,” writes Gosselin.
“But their data shows just the opposite.”

MEA President Goes After Local Teachers' Union President
MEA President Goes After Local Teachers' Union President [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"His most recent target is Jim Perialas, president of the Roscommon Teachers Association, an independent teachers' union that was formed after Roscommon teachers voted to decertify and form a local union last year.
Cook sent out an email recently to MEA members that said Perialas negotiated a contract that cut compensation for Roscommon teachers "up to 20 percent."
The email went on to attack Perialas, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and others who support the state's right-to-work law, which gives teachers the freedom to choose whether they want to financially support a union in order to have a job.
The problem is that Cook's claims about 20 percent cuts aren't true, Perialas said. "
What's harder to understand is why teachers seem to be just fine with their union bosses lying to them.
