Where’s Lumpy?

Iowahawk has gifted us with another pants-wetter. Pure genius, ’nuff said.

Something caught my eye in this picture:

The guy in the meticulously-ripped “Alive with Pleasure” T-Shirt look a bit familiar? He lives here (scroll to the bottom) at Mullets Galore.

I suppose I should be ashamed that I made the connection.

All this foolishness in one article in yesterday’s Washington Post:

We have to protect the children, who are the truly innocent victims here…but I can tell you that the Democratic Congress is not about to extend this program.

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) , explaining why “she is working on a plan to phase out the controversial D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, the first in the country to provide federal money for vouchers.”

He’s been developed in many ways, intellectually, emotionally and in his values…I couldn’t ask for anything better.

Patricia William, parent of an 11 year old who takes advantage of the voucher to send her child to Sacred Heart Catholic School, as quoted in the Post article.

They looked completely befuddled

Del. Norton again, from the same article, reporting on the reaction of families participating in the program to her plan to cut them off at the knees.

Indeed.  They’re not the only ones.

HT to Andrew Coulson at Cato-At-Liberty.

When people lose confidence in the economy and our president’s ability to manage it, problems become crises and crises lead to more crises. So we need a president who can restore our confidence, a president who is ready to confront complex economic problems with comprehensive solutions, a president who will act at the first signs of trouble, working with experts to identify the problem, with agencies to adapt regulations, with congress to pass necessary legislation, working to prevent crises rather than just reacting too little too late. We need a president who is ready on day one to be Commander-in-Chief of our economy. If you give me the chance, I will be that president. I will start by facing our economic situation as it is, not as we wish it would be.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a campaign speech at the University of Pennsylvania, March 24, 2008 (emphasis mine).

Men in Government who imagine that they are controlling a planned economy must prevent economic progress – as, in the past, they have always done.

“We are sorry for this behavior…this incident doesn’t represent the morals of the Marines”

-Mike Isho, a U.S. Military spokesman in Anbar province, on the suspension of a Marine for handing out silver coins with John 3:16, inscribed in Arabic, to Sunni Muslims.

“No one outside this man’s family can know the true weight of their loss. But in words spoken long ago, we are told how to measure the kind of devotion that Ross McGinnis showed on his last day: ‘Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.’”

-President George W. Bush, quoting John 15:13, while presenting the Medal of Honor to the family of Army Pfc. Ross McGuiness, who threw himself onto a grenade while on patrol in Iraq. The heroic action saved the lives of four of his friends, who were in attendance at the ceremony.
