Welcome to Our Illegal Immigration Clusterf*ck
Let's see if I can summarize:(1) The Hill has taken to calling unaccompanied children who have arrived in this country illegally "unaccompanied immigrant children."
(2) There are groups who have government contracts to take care of such children.
(3) Quite a few of these children have been raped.
(4) The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is one of the groups that has such a government contract.
(5) The administration has proposed that such contractors be required by the government "to provide access to contraception and abortion for unaccompanied immigrant children who have been raped."
(6) The Catholic bishops are objecting to fulfilling the contraception/abortion requirement.
(7) The ACLU is suing, not the bishops, but the Obama administration, in order to gain access to "documents it says will show religious organizations are restricting access to abortions for unaccompanied immigrant children."
(8 ) The bishops believe their right to refuse comes under the recently-in-the-limelight federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

10 Things You Might Not Know About 'Anne of Green Gables'
It's big in Japan and by big I mean really big. And surprising it was also popular with the WWII Polish underground:
Anne of Green Gables was translated, although not officially, into Polish in 1912. This pirated copy, under the spurious author name "Anne Montgomery," would become hugely popular and deeply important to Poland over the next 40 years and beyond. During World War II, the Polish resistance issued copies of Anne of Green Gables to its fighters as a reminder of what they were fighting for and to emphasize the values of family, loyalty, and selflessness-all of the things that plucky Anne seemed to embody. After the War and during the Communist occupation, the book was suppressed as subversive, largely due to its themes of resisting authority and the importance and value of the individual. The book was big on the black market; the copies sold there were often patched together from personal copies that hadn't been confiscated.

Eh. I don't think Kincannon's over-the-top insults and tweet rants at anyone who crossed him were helping the right's cause anyway. That's why I used to joke that conservative groups should get together and pay him a monthly stipend to not tweet.
What's sad is that say 3-4 years ago he was actually a pretty funny guy on Twitter. And then I started noticing that there were fewer and fewer gaps in time when he wasn't tweeting something. And he started getting steadily nastier and un-funnier.

A government agency, duly created by law, entering into a contract with a religion, Catholics in this case, would seem to skirting near a violation of the First Amendment. The government seems to be either "pro" something or "anti" something and seems to have lost the notion of the third choice, namely fiercely neutral and without opinion. This is what the Founders intended in many respects of life: religion, speech, commerce.

I speak from experience, too. Back in the day there was a job I had very much wanted, until the interview, which was totally weird in oh so many ways (concluding with their taking me to a strip club. I'm not making this up). It took me a while to reverse my emotional inclination toward the job, and to realize that I'd have been desperately unhappy in it ten minutes after arrival.

Maybe not. Don't think so linearly; it may not be warranted. Think about how much yardage the Reds and the fruits have made (especially with corporate America) far out of proportion to their numbers or indeed even their support, solely by being willing to kick up a stink. A few well-publicized cases might be all it would take to scare government bureaucrats into line, particularly given their risk aversion. So be of good cheer - it may take less than you'd think.

Can we start seeing this person's full name?
Calling her Jackie still allows her some cover and I think it's time she faced the full attention of everyone.
I seen it rumored her name is Coakley. Is that true? I don't know but why do we continue to afford this lying witch anymore anonymity in light of what we're all pretty sure was blatant lies with malice aforethought.
She lied to punish, she lied to manipulate, she lied so as to present herself as a heroine deserving of sympathy and be pointed to as some sort of model of strength in the face of adversity.
She had no concerns for the feelings, sensibilities, reputations or potential physical incarceration her lies could have led to. (let's be honest how well might her story have been investigated if it had been aimed at a Black basketball/football team in some Podunk school somewhere?)
She needs to BE the example she strove for, just not the positive one she built up in her rabbit assed mind.
So to reiterate:
1) what's her full name?
2) When it's known how's about everyone start using it in every story.
Otherwise I haven't seen where this evil perpetrator of lies has had any punishment for her actions.
Time to correct that before the story moves on.

Erdely came along and really laid it on thick.

I mean, aside from the sheer incredulity of Jackie having large shards of glass piercing her back, the Stephen Glass reference was uncanny, almost too coincidental.

You are putting words that look like English into sentences, but the sentences make no sense. "[they took] me to a strip club...I would have been desperately unhappy [there]." I think these words do not mean what you think they mean...

And Comiskey park ain't that far south Plus it's farther away from the lake so I've always mentally had it as in the center rather than south side. (i know, I know they locals call that the South Side but that's just newspapers)

Also, IIRC... up against the 110's and other nightfighter types, the defensive gunners were seriously handicapped. The wise thing to do was NOT fire on a spotted nightfighter... at least not until you were sure you were made, by which time the nightfighter was on you. It made hitting the nightfighter easier, for what it was worth. You had to wait until the last couple of seconds sort of thing. When you opened up at range, you'd bring a shitstorm down on you from any other nightfighters in the area.

It's like K-On! (i.e. cute girls doing cute things and also music), but with classical instraments, drama, and a Japanese high school girl with an American porn name.

I've been there. Mid 90's, I think. Buddy wasn't there, but I saw Bella Fleck & someone else (that was a lot of brain cells ago). Great time - very cool club.
I got in the cab & told the driver "take us to Rosa's Lounge. I want to see Melvin Taylor, dammit." He started driving, then turned around & said "look, son. I ain't takin' you two out of town white boys to that side of town. Not at this time of night. You want good blues? I'll take you someplace cool, and you'll be talking about it twenty years from now."
I did get to see Buddy Guy when he came to Norfolk with BB King a few years ago. Sadly, BB is way past his prime and it showed. But, in his 70's, Buddy ran around and jammed like a young buck. He burned the house down. GREAT show! Even if you're not a blues fan, go see Buddy Guy if you get the chance. Seriously, skip paying the water bill that month if you have to. His show is that good.

Hah, cool. My brother and I left a shitty Bears game at half time and went down to his place. No one in the joint but a black dude at the bar that we started playing jeopardy or wheel of fortune with on the TV. At some point I noticed a big ring on his finger that had a BG on it. Hah, Buddy Guy you dumb fuckers. Good guy.

Don't beat yourself up. You might be surprised how many of those guys wouldn't talk to you anyway.
I've told the story of Rocky before - my next door neighbor. Always knew he was a vet. I had thanked him for his service, but i learned long ago to not bring shit up with that generation - let them start the talk.
I alwAys assu med he was a Korean War vet, but one day found out he was THERE. He invaded Normandy...
We were outside the next day, I told him that I never knew - thanked him again, and told him how much I respected him.
He never said a word. Stared off into the distance, a couple tears rolled down his cheek. That was it. A little later, we had a lemonade on the porch and the topic never came up again.
*now, his family throwing everything - EVERYTHING - away really pissed me off. Photos, uniforms, medals, scrapbooks, etc. I could've cut a bitch.
Anyone still awake, raise a glass to Rocky. RIP, buddy. Thank you for everything.

Cooth - beer, right?
Rocky would like that. The only stories he ever told were of when he owned a bar on the wrong side of the tracks. Kickin' ass and takin' names. We had beers together a few times - even with him in his 70's.
Hope I'm half as cool as him when/if I get that age.

Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They said when Janie was arrested
they found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin' Now that Janie's got a gun
she ain't never gonna be the same.
What did her daddy do?
It's Janie's last I.O.U.
She had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me. The man was such a sleeze.
He ain't never gonna be the same.

Nah. The few times he had a beer it was one of my "lawnmower beers" when I twisted his arm.
I think I was drink Red Stripe for enjoyment back then, so we might've had that...

Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more, ah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
