March 2017: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the health care reform proposal must be fully read and presented to the public with "ample time" to review.
March 2010: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the health care bill must be passed so we can find out what's in it. As much as I appreciate her new found love of reading, her hypocrisy is overwhelming.
Okay, enough about politics, because there's plenty of stupid to go around.
An elementary school in Sacramento, California has nixed the annual Father-Daughter dance in favor of the Family Dance, to make it more inclusive. The school board said they would also be reviewing all "gender related activities" moving forward. I can't speak for all people but, I know that when the captor was growing up, her brother couldn't wait to go dancing with his dad!
The brain trust at the University of Southern Illinois has organized a "Nap-In". Yes, it is what you think it is. They're encouraging students to come to the library for a two hour nap to "dream of diversity". Then, it gets better, when they awake they can write their Utopian dreams on the dream wall for all to see! How charming. May I suggest that when/if they graduate they lay down and dream about getting a job. That will work!
Students at a Des Moines, Iowa high school, after wearing red, white and blue to a school basketball game, were forced to hand-deliver an apology to the opposing school. Why? Because their actual school colors are black and orange and, because the other team had players who were the children of immigrants, it was determined that wearing the colors of the USA was offensive. Let's see; living in America (check); going to school in America (check); offended by the colors of America (check). Sounds about right to me!
"Comedian" Samantha Bee, on her show Full Frontal, did a hysterical bit on young CPAC (conservative political action committee) members and their "Nazi haircuts". She showed a video while she mocked the young men. Funny thing. The young man she focused her venom on was undergoing treatment for brain cancer. Chemo took his hair. Hysterical, right?
I read an article from Psychology Today about a group of "psychologists" who have diagnosed the President as mentally ill. In defending their ability to diagnose someone they have never met, one of the geniuses, a Harvard man, offered this analogy: (paraphrasing here) 'The actual medical exam is not the be-all end-all in making a diagnoses. If the man in the back of the bus is sniffling and sneezing, you don't have to examine him to know he is sick'. Makes sense, right? UNLESS he's allergic to, say, perfume, and is being affected by a woman sitting near him. Why, he's not sick at all. Maybe if you had examined him you would have known that asshat! Just like Ms. Bee, your ability to judge someone just by looking at them is not as keen as you seem to think.
I'll leave you with this. In the immortal words of the Boomtown Rats "Cos I know what I read ain't true; I know; And I'm telling you; I know".
Respectfully,
Nava
