North Carolina school bans boy’s “My Little Pony” lunch bag rather than confront its bullying problem – Salon.com.

I wish people would stop this nonsense about bullying.

Let’s not empower a bunch of ten year olds by putting them the same bracket as those who perpetrate hate crimes and let’s start calling these kids what they are: little assholes who have never faced appropriate consequences.

It’s grade school, give kids who are little assholes consequences or they will grow up to be huge assholes.

Barack Obama is what made me fall in love with bureaucrats.
No, not because he is one, silly.
It’s because he sucks at it.

BHO is indeed a highly intelligent, seemingly thoughtful man, who apparently has good intentions.
He displays the potential to be very capable.
He’s no bureaucrat though.
He swept into town thinking he was way better than those types.
Pulled a massive Carter’s staff and look what happened.
Ahem…. toldyoustoldyouso.com .

After watching this man get pointed in the very wrong direction
and just keep flailing around
when he really should have been able to steer the ship,
it occurs to me
that you want a politician to be a little bit of a bureaucrat.

If they don’t know how the wheels of government turn,
they will not be able to get a fucking thing done.
They literally will not know how to enact their own ideas.

Crazy shit really.

Charlie Rangel: Tea Party is made up of “mean, racist people” from former “slave-holding” states – Salon.com.

“The NYC congressman still can’t figure out why Obama thought he could cut a deal with the Tea Party.”

Well, Charlie, it’s pretty simple really. BHO had zero job experience and a lot of rich, loud, people telling him he could do anything he put his mind to.

Whether by innocence or arrogance he bought the hype. BHO refused to believe any other narrative than the one in which he swooped into Washington, D.C. and changed the way the entire government worked because magically he, and he alone, knew how to run things better than anyone who had spent their entire lives working there.

He was naïve enough to think that if he took the high road, everyone else would too. He was arrogant enough to think he could use right and reason to negotiate. Last but not least, the man may be one hell of a campaigner and a heck of a nice guy but he really, truly  sucks at the game of politics.

Now that we have elected him, can we please nominate someone with more humility, more savvy, and a few decades more experience???? Pretty please? With sugar on top? Can I please, please, vote for someone with an ounce of sense and the ability to not only tell inspiring stories but get real, actual things done, in real time without shit-canning everything else on the table in favor of one pet project? Please?

I’m not that picky but if we could have someone who has served a full term at the national level that might be a good start…..

Barack Obama: No U.S. ‘military excursion’ to come in Ukraine – Jennifer Epstein – POLITICO.com.

Barack, since it is absolutely clear that you completely suck at diplomacy and negotiation, and you are even worse at international relations, do you think you could shut your mouth for the rest of the term?

Sincerely, someone who voted for your useless ass. Twice.
