Open Line Friday!

“You put your kids on a school bus you expect safety but in Obama’s America the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering ‘yeah, right on, right on, right on.'”

    1. any incidents of school bus violence, racially motivated or otherwise, before Obama became president. Previously, I guess, all students behaved like Wally and the Beav at all times.

      I wonder which of Obama’s speeches, actions or policy positions has brought this overnight change to society? His speech on the importance of education?  His beer summit  with the cop and the prof?  Maybe his offhand remark about Kanye West behaving like a jack ass? Perhaps his declining to join Jimmy Carter in labeling his political foes racists?

      His anti-white tirades?  Oh wait. There haven’t been any of those. Racist tirades are more the Big Fat Idiot in Chief’s thing, not the Commander in Chief’s thing.  

      1. and a bunch of white kids cheered on the white kid who did it. Similarly white kids put gum in my hair and threw food at me while Reagan was President, with other white kids cheering them on.

        Rush is clearly looking to provoke racial hatred now, though. “Get them before they get you,” he says, and he’ll be shocked if anyone in his whiter-than-white audience actually takes his advice and kills a bunch of black teenagers who sat too long near in the park. As though psycho Republicans aren’t already shooting people FOR LIBERTY.

  1. Because Bennet has never had any kind of election it is important for Dems to be sure that we do have the strongest candidate. I did wish for Andrew to be the appointee but I have to say I have been pretty satisfied with Bennets performance though it has been understated.

  2. From the Heart of Darkness itself –

    “Gov. Ritter’s appointed junior senator Michael Bennet is struggling to be effective for Colorado voters. Emails from Bennet staff show him struggling to stay up-to-date on a possible terrorist cell in Denver. On top of that Gov. Ritter is questioning his appointment of Bennet to the Senate seat.”

    “Colorado needs leadership in the Senate who can be effective. Join our email list today and stay up-to-date on what you can do to help to defeat Michael Bennet in 2010”

    That’s it? Two lines of copy, with two links? No swipe at the Colo Dem establishment, or Ritter?

    If this is the best support that the National Repubs can offer Norton, a Dem wins this seat. Easy.

    DENVER (AP) – Colorado’s job market is improving, with the unemployment rate falling by a half percentage point in August.

    Advertisement

    The state Department of Labor and Employment said Friday the August unemployment rate was 7.3 percent, down from 7.8 percent in July.

    The number of Coloradans with jobs grew by 4,900 in August to just under 2.5 million. The number of people who looked for a job but couldn’t find one fell by 13,100 to about 197,000.

    7.3 percent is still way, way too high, and with underemployment added, it’s probably closer to 10%, but the direction that the number is going is encouraging news.

    1. “Discouraged” and “consultants,” people who would rather be cashing a paycheck, but whose unemployment benefits have run out.  Once they bens run out you are usually classed as no longer looking for work.

      In the white collar world, consultant is what you put on your resume when you can’t find a job.  Of course there are many actual consultants, but many “consultants” are just picking up a job here or there until they find full time work.

      I know, I’ve been there.

      But these are good headlines

      1. I actually had a few clients too, but in reality I wanted to be working full time again.

        I used this title a long time ago when shooting the breeze with of my old high school friends (who has an excellent bullshit detector) who just replied “oh, so you’re fucking unemployed”.

        That kind of took the wind out of my sails for a few days…

  4. Yesterday, the Colorado Court of Appeals reversed an order by an Arapahoe County judge requiring the prosecution of two men (including former CU football player) for rape.  The trial judge had taken the extremely unusual action of ordering the prosecution, at the request of the alleged victim, after DA Carol Chambers refused to prosecute.

    The original trial court decision was news (Post, USA Today, etc.).  Why wasn’t this appellate decision in the papers this morning?  I’m not alleging a conspiracy, just curious if anyone knows or has an opinion.

      1. No conspiracy here. Either the regular court reporter was off and somebody who didn’t recognize the case name was checking, or the court beat didn’t get done for some reason, or nobody sent a news release pointing it out to the press.

        No conspiracy. Things get missed. But you can bet somebody’s getting reamed.

  5. from Mail Online

    The founder of the Jedi religion inspired by the Star Wars films was thrown out of a Tesco supermarket for wearing his distinctive brown hood.



    A Tesco spokesperson said: ‘He hasn’t been banned. Jedis are very welcome to shop in our stores although we would ask them to remove their hoods.

    ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood.

    ‘If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they’ll miss lots of special offers.’
