The Peoples Cube has picked up on the insufferable stupidity of the DC Elementary School “Trayvon Day”.    In their frilliant way they reflect the concept:

Peoples Cube – So, how did the kids celebrate Trayvon Martin day? Did their teachers help them prepare purple drank/Purple Lean/Lean/Sizzurp in the school lab? Did the children stick their tongues out as they carefully mixed Promethazine/Codeine cough syrup and Sprite, or Arizona Watermelon, with Jolly Ranchers and/or Skittles thrown in? (more…)

I was going to write a big long post for this but that’s so not gonna happen. This here is what we call a palate cleanser. Whatever that is.

“Lean”, A New Hip High 

2006 ABC NEWS – It’s more than a drug; it’s a culture. It’s what’s known on the street as “Lean,” a highly addictive cocktail of cough syrup, [soda] cold medicine and candy — so potent it makes you “lean” over when high.

The drug first began to get attention a few years ago, when a popular Houston DJ overdosed on it.

OMG, the level of irony in this one is beyond comprehension….

WASHINGTON DC – In an effort to better educate students and their parents about race relations and social injustice, a D.C. elementary school has declared Friday “Trayvon Martin Day.”

Teachers at Malcolm X Elementary in Southeast are using the unfolding case and the story surrounding Martin as part of their “Let’s Keep Our Children Safe” seminar. (more…)

Not Ruby Ridge or Waco, but still…. the EPA?  Really?
A North Carolina man named Larry Keller recently got a visit from two special agents with the EPA and an armed police officer.  His crime?  He sent an email asking how to contact one of their employees. PohDiaries reported:

About a month ago, EPA regional official Al Armendariz made news when a YouTube video of him describing the way the agency handles oil and gas companies surfaced. In it, Armendariz said an analogy he liked to use about enforcement was how the Romans used crucifixion to keep smaller towns and villages under their thumb. Since then, Armendariz has resigned his post at the EPA. Case closed, right? Wrong. (more…)

Pathological Liberalism, how Weineresque !
(Mass Live) — Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said Thursday that she knows she has Native American ancestry because her mother told her so.
Warren’s comments came after nearly four minutes of tense back and forth between Warren and Fox 25 reporter Sharman Sacchetti and 7News reporter Andy Hiller. As both reporters questioned Warren about why she listed herself as a minority in law directories, Warren refused to answer, saying she had already answered questions about her background.
Finally, Warren said, “I am proud of my family and I am proud of my heritage.”
Hiller followed up: “Does it include an Indian background?” (more…)
