Fred Reed Nails It

The backlash over the rebel flag is huge here in the South. Fred explains why:

The furor over the Confederate flag, think I, has little to do with the Confederate flag, which is a pretext, an uninvolved bystander. Rather it is about a seething anger in the United States that we must not mention. It is the anger of people who see everything they are and believe under attack by people they aren’t and do not want to be—their heritage, their religion, their values and way of life all mocked and even made criminal.

Read it all.  The pot is about to boil over.

For Humanity's Sake, What About The Children???

"We are second-class citizens and children are listening," he said. "When they see their teachers don't step up to the plate when their classmate is being harassed literally to death, they are listening and they get the message that there is something wrong with those people."

Crickey, schoolchildren are literally being harassed to DEATH. Good grief, how come we never heard of this? And why? What did these kids do that literally caused them to DIE of harassment?

You won't believe it.

Ha! Maybe you will.

Breaking News

I'm not sure if you will ever forgive me but I give the feeble excuse that I have been sick. Too sick to be able to report this earth shattering news that will change your life for frickin' evah!.

I know, I know, the cranky old farts and the beautiful young ladies pride themselves on being on top of all things arty, and farty, and cultural, and cuddly, stoic and sophisticated, new and nuanced, iconic and un-ironed.

Well, it finally happened, the New York Public Library held a forum on Monday to discuss the most pressing topic of our time:

Does Michelle Obama have a new stylist?

You decide. This is too important to take any one else's word.

Earthquake And Tsunami Devastate Japan

The pictures coming out of Japan are horrific.  My aunt said some schools on the Oregon coast have closed in preparation for a possible tsunami there.  The Blaze has a collection of videos...here is one.



The earthquake's epicenter was hundreds of miles from Japan, yet it registered 8.9. The tsunami that rolled inland measured 23 feet.

UPDATE:

From Fox News:  "Hundreds of bodies found after 23-foot tsunami strikes northern coast of Japan, washing away cars and damaging buildings, following a magnitude 8.9 earthquake. Tsunami waves hit Hawaii as coastal residents from SoCal to Oregon move to higher ground."

UPDATE:

Photograph of Japan from Fox News: 

Noah is watching a live webcams of our coast from San Clemente and Santa Monica.  All is calm so far.


UPDATE:  From Yahoo News: "The first waves hit Hawaii about 1400 GMT (9 a.m. EST) Friday. A tsunami at least 3 feet (a meter) high were recorded on Oahu and Kauai, and officials warned that the waves would continue and could become larger"
