The impacts are real….  swear.   Parents and babies are dying…. school children are crying every morning….  dogs and cats are howling daily….  the animal kingdom is crying out for more government – more government….  people are really suffering because the government cannot spend more next year than this….  or something. 

WASHINGTON DC – White House spokesman Jay Carney lamented during a press conference Tuesday that the media are not covering the sequester’s “impacts on real people.”

“The impacts are real,” Carney insisted during an exchange with Fox News’ Ed Henry, “and they effect real people. And I know that there hasn’t been a lot of coverage of the impacts on real people.” (more…)

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY – Former Weather Underground radical Kathy Boudin — who spent 22 years in prison for an armored-car robbery that killed two cops and a Brinks guard — now holds a prestigious adjunct professorship at Columbia University’s School of Social Work, The Post has learned.

Boudin, 69, this year won another academic laurel — being named the Sheinberg Scholar-in-Residence at NYU Law School, where last month she gave a lecture on “the politics of parole and re-entry.” (more…)

You might have begun the day with thoughtful reflection for the Rising of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.   You might have even gathered your family to discuss how the death of the Son of God was to forgive us our sins and grant absolution for all those who proclaim His name.

You might have even held each other close in celebration of the joyous gift we recognize this day filled with eternal light, love and grace.  

Perhaps you clasped hands and gave consideration for the abundant kindness and strength of Christianity in the face of overwhelming adversity and prayed for those who trespass against us. 

Perhaps.

But not Obama.

No, instead he chose to sit and worship at the altar of almighty self-righteous indignation.  When you point outward you “Forgive not your trespasses for you forgive not those who have trespassed against you”…. 

WASHINGTON DC – The pastor at the Washington, D.C. church where the Obama family celebrated Easter on Sunday said members of the religious right want blacks “in the back of the bus,” women “back in the kitchen” and immigrants “back on their side of the border.” (more…)

THINK PROGRESS – It’s a great story: the virtually unknown, 15th seeded Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), has made it to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament. But there’s something you might not know about FGCU: its economics department is, as a consequence of grants from Randian businessman John Allison and the Charles G. Koch Foundation, a haven for Ayn-Rand Style thinking:

At Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, every student who majors in economics and finance gets a copy of Ayn Rand’s novel, Atlas Shrugged…FGCU now has a core group of a half dozen economists whose research supports the ideas of free-market capitalism, still an unpopular subject in most faculty lounges. They teach this material to more than 250 economics and finance students (one class is titled “The Moral Foundations of Capitalism”), organize lectures by leading thinkers, publish their research in well-respected journals and hold influential positions in groups that promote free markets.

[ROFLMAO ..they say this like it’s a bad thing… /SD]

Priorities?

Vacations to Aspen Colorado, Golfing with Tiger Woods, but yet he can’t get a budget finished and submitted to Congress?    Federal Law requires the President’s budget be submitted by the first Monday in February.   Consequently, it’ll be the most tardy, and unlawful, submission of Presidential Budget Priorities in the history of Budget Proposals.

We are so broke Obama needs to close the White House, our house, from our visits, yet Vice-Prez Biden can spend $600,000+ on one day limo rides, and now this….

(CNSNews.com) – The National Science Foundation awarded a grant for $876,752 to the University of Iowa to study whether there is any benefit to sex among New Zealand mud snails and whether that explains why any organism has sex. (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – President Barack Obama on Monday called for lawmakers in Washington to muster the “political courage” to pass comprehensive immigration reform that he can sign into law “as soon as possible.”

“We are making progress but we’ve got to finish the job,” Obama said at a naturalization ceremony for 28 new Americans at the White House.

The White House has offered support to the efforts of bipartisan lawmakers on Capitol Hill who have been working behind closed doors to craft reform legislation. (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – President Barack Obama’s efforts to significantly curtail U.S. nuclear weapons without seeking the proper Senate approval are at best misguided and worst illegal, sources tell Newsmax.

Obama is exploring opportunities to achieve the reductions in infrastructure and capability he seeks – including a drawdown to 1,000 weapons – without seeking the advice and consent of the Senate that international treaties require.

Efforts to push the boundaries of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) with Russia are ill-advised, sources say. A proposal that seeks to achieve nuclear arms reductions outside the framework of New START, however, would run afoul of the law.

It’s a long way from “purple states”…

Seriously, what gives with these guys.   A demand for smaller government = racial overtones?   Support for the 10th amendment = racism?
