Awww — AP Opines Plight of Illegals in Texas
September 22, 2008

Those poor, poor “undocumented citizens.” The Associated Press makes the case this morning, the apparent bias oozing from the headline: Legal and illegal, Latinos labor to rebuild Texas. Expecting an obvious slant considering the headline, the authors did not disappoint with the liberal lamenting.
Ike brought a wide swath of destruction, and with it the prospect of more work, higher wages and a respite from the ever-present threat of deportation. In recent months, many day laborers say, jobs in the Houston area had started to dry up, and police and immigration officials had been cracking down.
To sum up feelings on both sides — of both the illegal workers and the pro-illegal liberals — one Honduran immigrant had this to say:
Without us, how would they build Houston again? Without the work of our hands, there would be no way to move forward.
Well, you sure won’t find one of these whining liberals out there “working”… unless it’s to report on the plight of these laborers making $7 per hour, while the liberals sip on cups of chai that cost an hour’s work for these laborers.

Finally Media Reports Success from No Child Left Behind
July 25, 2008
Lifestyle
While critics across the country, from school administrators to presidential hopeful Barack Hussein Obama, complain that President George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind initiative has been an epic blunder of ineffective and inefficient governmental policy, Libby Quaid of the Associated Press reported Thursday a success of epic proportion. As she puts it, “Sixteen years after Barbie dolls declared, ‘Math class is tough!’ girls are proving that when it comes to math they are just as tough as boys.”
Janet Hyde, Professor of Psychology and Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin, headed the study in which the group of five female researchers have stumbled upon an elusive outcome - a study that might suggest girls are as good at math as boys. According to Janet, “Girls have now achieved gender parity in performance on standardized math tests.”
Janet points to research performed by her and four other female researchers, which, according to Libby’s article, was conducted on incomplete statistical information from ten states who submitted just enough reviewable information about a 2002 annual math test required by No Child Left Behind.
In the face of conflicting complete national statistics such as those from ACT and SAT, which show boys average 533 in math, and girls 499, Libby says that Janet dispels these facts by assuming that “more girls lower on the achievement scale take [the SAT]” than boys, which skews the statistics.
The five ladies contributing to the Gender Similarities Characterize Math Performance study are Janet Hyde, Sara Lindberg, Marcia Linn, Amy Ellis, and Caroline Williams.

You Thought You Were Having a Bad Day

Thank your lucky stars that you are not friends with Matthew Craig Pillers or Jack Brent Nicholas Keiffer of San Luis Obispo, California. These two idiots were sentenced last week for an incident in Grover Beach, California which resulted in a fire causing great bodily harm.
Apparently, Pillers and Keiffer thought it would be extremely funny to pour cologne on the crotch of a passed out friend, Elliot Tuleja. While it may have been humorous to stop there, they went one step further, and lit Tuleja’s groin afire. Tuleja suffered severe burns on his testicles.
Alcohol was involved.

ACLU Discriminates Against Plumbers in Lynwood Chicago Suburb
July 21, 2008
Lifestyle
Not to be confused with “Weird Al” Yankovic’s popular album, a new ordinance just passed in the Chicago suburb of Lynwood has made “sagging” a civil infraction to the tune of a $25 citation. According to an AP article, the city’s mayor says the “fashion” of wearing pants far below the waistline exposing an individual’s underpants is a deterrent to retail investment and economic development, but the ACLU says that the ordinance is only targeting young black men who walk around in public with their underwear exaggeratedly exposed.
As an ACLU spokesman, Edwin Yohnka, sterotypes an entire industry of professionals, “Let’s see if they start pulling over plumbers for their pants.”
In other underwear news today…
