HOPEY-CHANGEY: 64 Drone Bases Located On American Soil.

HOW’S THAT HOPEY-CHANGEY STUFF WORKIN’ OUT FOR YA? (CONT’D): The Poorer Middle Class. “Americans are poorer today than they were in 2007, when the Great Recession hit. The difference between now and then is massive. The median household saw almost 39 percent of its wealth evaporate, and real income (that is, the amount adjusted for inflation) fell 7.7 percent. Only the old and the bottom 20 percent on the income ladder escaped the wealth destruction and income loss. . . . To the delight of the class warriors, the rich saw the biggest decline in income, with a mean drop of 16.2 percent. The bottom of the ladder saw its income increase slightly, by $500. In other words, Americans saw the leftists’ goal of reducing income inequality come true by making 80 percent of the population poorer.”

PUBLIC SCHOOLS UPDATE:

When Sabrina Grant read the email from a teacher’s aide at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School in Framingham, Massachusetts, she was furious. The aide said Grant’s 10-year-old autistic son kept playing with one of his loose baby teeth. The aide added it was very distracting, so they yanked the tooth out. Grant got even even angrier when her son got home. She found the loose tooth was still in his mouth, but a molar next to it was missing.

AND THAT’S NOT EXACTLY A TOUGH CROWD: President Obama’s Speech Gets A Thumbs Down From Political Press Corps. “Prior to President Barack Obama’s marathon 54 minute speech in Ohio today, the Obama campaign sent our several statements promising the speech would be a major address framing the campaign going forward. Despite the hype, the speech was mainly a rehash of themes and ideas from the president’s recent stump speeches and his remarks were widely panned as overly long by the political press corps.”

MORE ON THE NEW SOCIALLY-ACCEPTABLE BIGOTRY: “These findings are as unsurprising to us as they are disturbing. Via Meadia has documented a depressing array of instances in which anti-religious smears against Latter-Day Saints have been voiced by prominent members of the fashionable left. Partisan writers who would normally condemn such bigotry if directed at Muslims or Jews have found themselves unable to resist deploying the same odious rhetoric when it suits their political prejudices. And these aren’t isolated incidents of partisan excess. A quick recap finds such utterances to be as prominent as they are perverse.”

WITH ALL THE TALK ABOUT LEAKS, and with the efforts of Obama apologists to revisit the Plame affair, let me just point out that the Bush White House didn’t leak Plame’s identity, Richard Armitage did.
