To start things off, I owe that woman from the NAACP an apology it seems. The video I saw seemed pretty damning, but upon checking out the full clip, it seems that I was a little misled. She went further in the full video to explain that she learned that her job isn't about helping somebody based on race, but by helping somebody based on his or her needs. So yeah, I jumped the gun, my bad.
Second: Posting that picture of the scantily clad beauty netted me a ton of hits, so in response, I'm going to have to keep that idea going.
Mmmm, enjoy... I hope you've eaten before seeing this.
REPRESENT! I saw this article today and thought it was actually going to be about coyotes (it sorta is) complete with pictures of cute little puppies and such, but then I started reading and saw that it mentioned the place I grew up, Westchester County, NY. I was visiting on leave when the coyote incidents took place (at least one of them). Aside from being predisposed to liking the article due to it refering to my home and talking about animals, I actually read the whole thing and found it to be a great read. It's not just about guns (which I also love), but freedom and all other sorts of 'Mrrkin shit (Lunch buffet at the titty bar not included). I wanted to pick out some quotes, but there were too many and I think it's worth reading in it's entirety.

Glenn Reynolds' monthly Popular Mechanics article is out and focuses on the war against photography. I'm not sure how much any of my readers know about this, so this is probably a good starting off point. I'll give a brief little intro: Basically, some events such as on-duty cops arresting bystanders for videotaping said cops in public places are taking place. Also, two reporters were banned from using the metro in some city (excuse my forgetfulness) for videotaping or something like that. Reason.com has been covering it a lot, I sometimes read about it, maybe I'm doing myself a disservice by maintaining an apathetic stance on the issue, but I guess I consider it a minor concern. I guess I'm just jaded.
Religion of peace poop? Muslims get the OK to drink shitty coffee (pun intended).
To quote a famous Briton, "Mother should I trust the Government?" If this is where they get their facts, then hell no. That girl grinding her ass on that pole - that girl is somebody's daughter. Then again, she does need your help to pay for med school.
I'm sure most of you haven't heard of the whole Journolist thing, and I don't recall writing anything about it when the story first blew up on the blogs. Brief sum-up: There's a private server with 400 or so (mostly openly liberal) journalists who have to be invited to the group to become a member. A vengeful or perhaps frustrated member of the list decided to publish some of the archives, namely ones written by WaPo's conservative beat writer Dave Weigel, which in turn exposed that he was a terrible choice for reporting the conservative beat, and seemed to resent those who he covered. I'm not going to provide links, you all can go look it up yourself if you want to read more about that. The more scandalous part of the story was that it seemed like the group was intentionally trying to spin stories or silence stories from emerging into the national media spotlight, which is indeed dishonest, but I thought that those charges were a bit dubious at the time. Now some more journalist stuff has been leaked, and some of it is pretty damning. Below I will link to some good reading and reactions to the story.
Some background info on what was leaked found here at Instapundit.
Reactions to the story from both right and left found here.
To be continued? Tune in tomorrow to find out.
I think some of the charges are still dubious; I don't think there's a liberal conspiracy in the media to hide stories that are harmful to the democrat agenda and intentionally overblow stories that are harmful to conservatives. But like Glenn said, keep this in mind the next time they try to tell you that people who oppose the policies of our president are racists. Racism used to be a hefty charge, but the way it gets thrown around today really robs it of it's meaning. It's shameful that a group of professional journalists would actually say things like:
"Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, [Spencer] Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”
Disgusting. Have your differences with Karl Rove, Fred Barnes, I do for sure. Call them racist if they're being racist, but the reckless abandon with which Ackerman weilds the race-club is reprehensible to say the least. Bolded by me for emphasis.

And you really thought I punish you all with those fat women in bikinis? C'mon, you know I love you guys, enjoy this broad and have a nice night!
Its so hot how the fat lady all the way to the left is feeling up on the one next to her. Also hot is the way there's a line to distinguish the above the belt gut from that which lies within the pants. Ive always wondered what all that stuff was in obese people's pants but I could never tell if it was part of the stomach or the thighs...until now!! Thanks Viking!

You're welcome, I'm glad you're still able to read me despite your busy schedule Miss BBN. As to the stomach or thighs conundrum, I would be tempted to call it the Styes, but you'd use your doctorness on me and tell me that something called a Stye already exists. Love you, talk to you soon.
