Obama Insists That Terrorists Are Not Motivated by True Islam

At some point our President decided that he has the authority to identify "true" Islam; something that I would NEVER do in any of my classes. I've simply settled on the self-identifying qualifier for any member of any faith.

Still here. . .

Hmmm. Noticed today I haven't posted anything since last October. No notes from anyone about it either. The masses have spoken!

Have your cake. . .

As an academician, I find this extremely interesting.

When Women Become Men at Wellesley Trans man at Wellesley runs for student government position of Multicultural Affairs Coordinator. Opposed by women who would say things like, "“I thought he’d do a perfectly fine job, but it just felt inappropriate to have a white man there."

Tax Payers Get A Lap Dance

for Matt Hendrix, that is.

Former GIPC Executive Director Sentenced To Four Years For Embezzlement

"Hendrix was accused of spending the money he stole on strippers and to feed a gambling addiction."

Well, compared to what the Dirty Little Hoosier Politicians normally use our tax money for, this is an improvement.

After seeing this:

Indiana Toll Road Operator Filing Bankruptcy

I had a strange vision that a Saudi company bought the lease at the bankruptcy sale and immediately imposed the Saudi flavor of Shari'a law, disallowing women from driving on the highway and requiring them to wear burqa-s while passengers.

More Bad Apples

I'm still calling bullshit on anyone who declares that bad police behavior is only that of a small minority of those who "protect and serve." I insist that it's part of their shared culture of intimidation and bullying.

President Obama - Authority on Islam

So Barry says ISIS is "not Islamic." Well, I have to agree with Daniel Pipes when he quotes Bernard Lewis:

"As Bernard Lewis, a leading American authority of Islam, notes: “It is surely presumptuous for those who are not Muslims to say what is orthodox and what is heretical in Islam.”

And I'm of the same thought as Edward Curtis IV, a colleague of mine. If someone declares themselves to be a Muslim we must take them at their word as we do not have the authority to say otherwise. Unless we're Barack Hussein Obama.

Goin' to the movies. . .

'Duck Dynasty's' Phil Robertson on Indefinite Hiatus Following Anti-Gay Remarks

Typical. Say your mind based on your core beliefs. If the Left doesn't agree with it, you need to be shut up and shut down. Now I've never watched the show. Don't plan on it. BUT in any case, I would think the producers would have a little sense and say, "Hey, this guy says stuff that reflects the thoughts of a slice of the American people with whom we disagree. But every time he says something like this, we have the opportunity to bring the issue to the center of the discussion. Let's keep him on!" But nope. That would mean they respect your ability to think for yourself.

Toy Self-Checkout Prepares Children For Bleak Future Of Consumption Without Human Interaction

In part:

This is the perfect set to start your little ones learning how to shop… its cute, space saving, and great for the imagination.. :)

Just like Walmart. But I think if it was to work like the real Walmart self-checkout then on every other item it would insist that you bag the item even though you've already done so. And on every third failure would stop and display a "Please wait for assistance," until some extremely unmotivated checkout monitor would slowly saunter over and clear the error.

Oh, and this should come with a play EBT card, too.
