The Breakfast Club - August 20, 2010

Online headline: "Feds Indict Roger Clemens for Perjury" -- What a mixed message the government sends. The Feds can indict, even convict a sports hero such as Roger Clemens for something he could have pled the "5th" for, yet will not even look at politicians who lie to get elected, and lie when they swear to uphold the Constitution.
---
I hope the Feds try Clemens in Boston. After seeing Blagojevich basically escape unscathed by the hands of a Chicago jury, I'll bet the Feds can't find one Boston juror to who'd find Clemens guilty of anything.

Today, the $1.00 coin of President Buchanan is relesed. In Buchanan's offficial White House biography, it say, "Buchanan grasped inadequately the political realities of the time.". Hmmmm, Will it be plagiarism or purely coincidental that the official White House biography will repeat the exact statement for potUS Imam-a?

From a L-E story: "There is good news with unemployment claims, however. * While 68,000 laid-off staffers filed for benefits for the first time in July — a 5 percent jump from June — there were 27.6 percent fewer claims from July of 2009, when nearly 94,000 initial claims were filed." -- Only in the mind of a liberal could this be 'good news'. Did the writer poll the 68,000 to see whether they thought it was 'good news'?

Can you believe Barney Frank? Now he says Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac 'have to go'. Guess he wants to bury his past. Now, who's more deserving of a Federal indictment of lying to Congress, Roger Clemens or Barney Frank?
---
Speaking of Barney Frank, Frank could be the defense tactic Congressman Rangel uses to avoid expulsion. After Frank's scandals concerning Congressional page boys, and his involvement with Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, Rangel has a legitimate argument that he is more ethical than Frank, so why isn't Frank being brought up on ethics charges?

From a fellow BCer:
After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said:
'Let me see if I've got this right.
'You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.
'You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.
'You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.
'You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams.
'You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English, Spanish or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.
'You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.
'You want me to do all this and then you tell me. . . I CAN'T PRAY? -- Regardless of whether this is 'true' or not, it is the truth.

L-E headline: "New pools might not get any use until next summer" -- Yeah, and then they are only going to be open for the two weeks between the start of summer and the start of school... at least it seems that way.
---
Who are the Islamist going to name their Ground Zero Hamas-que after.... potUS Imam-a?
---
L-E headline: "Smoking scenes on the decline in top movies " -- Ooops, my bad. Thought the movie industry was cleaning up the movie ratings do parents would not be shocked when taking their children to PG movies.
