CHANGE: Union Enthusiasm for Obama Re-Election Fades, AFL-CIO’s Chief Trumka Says.

HOPE AND CHANGE! More Job-Seekers Give Up, Reducing Official Unemployment Number. “Their decision not to seek work means the drop in unemployment from 9.8 percent in November to 9 percent in April isn’t as good as it looks. If the 529,000 missing workers had been out scavenging for a job without success, the unemployment rate would have been 9.3 percent in April, not the reported rate of 9 percent. And if the participation rate were as high as it was when the recession began, 66 percent, in December 2007, the unemployment rate could have been as high as 11.5 percent.”

INDISPUTABLE TRUTH FROM BRYAN PRESTON: “Every sane person who eats bacon knows that bacon makes everything better.”

ABOUT FREAKING TIME: More Schools Are Rethinking “Zero Tolerance” Discipline. “Nearly two decades after a zero-tolerance culture took hold in American schools, a growing number of educators and elected leaders are scaling back discipline policies that led to lengthy suspensions and ousters for such mistakes as carrying toy guns or Advil. This rethinking has come in North Carolina and Denver, in Baltimore and Los Angeles — part of a phenomenon driven by high suspension rates, community pressure, legal action and research findings.”

Since this was obviously a dumb idea from the beginning, why are we allowing our kids to be taught by people who took two decades to grasp the obvious?

SUSANNAH BRESLIN: “As a journalist, I hear regularly from young journalists looking for advice on how to get started in journalism. . . . Most of those young journalists I hear from are young men. Where are all the young female journalists? I want to know. So, here’s my offer to a young female journalist. Pitch me your idea, and I’ll let you write a guest post on my Forbes blog PINK SLIPPED this month.”

OOPS: Mother of Weinergate Coed Is FURIOUS! Demands the Weiner Fess Up.

HEH: Leslie Nielsen’s Fort Lauderdale Gravestone — Fart Joke Included.

CORNEL WEST: The Dinesh D’Souza Of The Left? “In a weird way, critics like D’Souza and West have much in common with the enthusiastic Obama supporters who in 2008 believed that Obama represented a fundamental break with politics as we know it. Both groups assume that the president is a lot more special than he actually is.”

CHANGE: Moody’s Warns On U.S. Credit Rating. Of course, now that Obama couldn’t even hold on to 82 Democrats on a “clean” debt-ceiling increase, it’s basically assured that we’ll see significant spending cuts in any debt-ceiling bill. Meanwhile, the public overwhelmingly doesn’t even want it raised.

MUBARAK: MISS ME YET? Egypt revolution leaves Sinai increasingly lawless. “The situation is getting much worse in terms of security… I feel we are going towards a civil war here in Sinai.”

AN INTERESTING ANGLE TO THE SCHWARZENEGGER CASE:

The Arnold Schwarzenegger paternity case has revealed a large flaw in California family law, one which, ironically, Schwarzenegger attempted to fix while Governor. The flaw? Schwarzenegger fathered a child with Mildred Patty Baena, who was married to Rogelio Baena at the time. Under California law, Schwarzenegger wouldn’t be obligated to pay a dime in child support–but deceived husband Rogelio Baena would be.

These presumptions perhaps made sense in the days before DNA. Nowadays, I think they’re of dubious constitutionality. And though on a slightly different topic, I recommend this from Michael Higdon.
