Does Ft. Collins H.S. Hate America

Students and parents at a Colorado high school are outraged after administrators turned down their request for a spirit week day honoring America because it might offend non-Americans.
“They said they didn’t want to offend anyone from other countries or immigrants,” a 16-year-old member of the student council told me. “They just really did not want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.”
The student council at Fort Collins High School had proposed having a day to celebrate the United States during next week’s Winter Spirit Week. The young people pitched “’Merica Monday” – and invited their classmates to dress in patriotic colors. Their proposal was promptly shot down by administrators.

Shame on the administrators at Fort Collins High School for treating American school children like second-class citizens.

“They said they didn’t want to be exclusive to any other country,” a 17-year-old member of the student council told me.
The students and parents who talked to me about this incident have asked to remain anonymous. The parents feared their children might face reprisals from liberal educators.

Did You Receive Your Farm Subsidy

You're looking at a map of Chicago, Illinois. Each one of these dots represents a gift from the US government in the form of a farm subsidy. Louis Farrakhan got one for 100 large. Stories like this give me pause. I could move to Chicago and maybe get one of these subsidies for myself but then I remembered how it works in that city: "Your money or your life"

Surprise: She Wasn't Fired

Have you been following all the screw ups from MSNBC as they attack the Far Right and conservatives in general? The latest kerfuffle came about because this boy/girl tweeted a jerky comment about a Cheerios commercial showing a 'mixed' family. I think her point was that this family couldn't be conservatives because no righty would do it, or that we wouldn't accept it.
Then the president of the hateful channel, Mr. Phil Griffin, told us that the boy/girl had been fired. Well, it isn't the case. He/she is still on the job. Today, Griffin also told the world that,(I detest writing the letters of this fake news network)MSNBC, did not have a political agenda. And I do have some slough land behind my Minnesota lake cabin I'll sell you if you believe that statement.
Oh, his/her name is Gabriela Resto-Montero. You see how this works out don't you. Never trust a person with a hyphenated last name. Even they don't know who they are.

People Make Choices: Some Are Good And Some Not So Good

Super Bowl Sunday

I never cease to amaze myself about myself. Here I am a former high school basketball coach who also put in fourteen of his twenty year of my tenure on the football field and I could care less about the Super Bowl. The very last time I came close to watching a Super Bowl football game was when Peyton Manning was playing for the Indianapolis Colts. Was it 2006 or 2007? I was in a motel in Terre Haute, Indiana. It was brutally cold outside. The motel manager was either a Paki or an Indian. That I do remember. He asked if I wanted to watch the game with him. "Thanks, but no thanks", I said. Let me set the scene. He was in the office breakfast room. His wife and mother in law were there, too. They were wearing brightly colored dresses with their faces covered by veils and they sat on either side of him. They didn't move or utter a sound. It was as though he had rented mannequins to keep him company. He had a table in front of him upon which sat a bottle of Smirnov vodka along with a jar of orange juice. How does a person forget something like this? They don't. It's the first time I ever saw someone from the sub-continent root for an NFL football team while sucking down vodka. I awakened the next morning to find out in the USA Today that the Colts were victorious.
Tonight, Peyton Manning will take the field again. Everything will be exactly the same except I'll be in my man cave. There won't be vodka in the room, either. I heard the game starts at 6:30 EST. That's a plus for people who live on the East Coast. It gives them more time to drink and eat. Usually these games begin at 9 PM or am I wrong?
I'll be rooting for the Broncos. I like Peyton Manning. He's a conservative Christian and he's also very good at his craft. I like his sense of humor. After he retires I'll make book that he gets a job as a TV analyst. If his team loses I know I won't find out that some New York cop found him strung out on cocaine tomorrow morning behind the wheel of a stolen Rolls Royce. He'll move on with his life.
Another reason I'll hope the Broncos win is because I cannot tell you one player on the Seahawks team. I don't even remember the name of the Seahawks defensive back who's been all over the television for his rant while being interviewed by Erin Andrews. How could I cheer for a team with the name Seahawks when I can't name the starting quarterback?
The best thing about this Super Bowl Sunday is I can watch reruns of Law and Order or The Closer until my eyes fall out of their sockets. Then I can trudge up to my bedroom, fall asleep and find out the final score in the morning.
I wonder what ever happened to that Paki guy.

She Won't Be Celebrating World Hijab Day

There was a story in the news last week about a woman who was strangled when her scarf was caught in an escalator. Like most people I thought, "What a horrific thing to happen to a person" especially when I read that she had two small children at home in Montreal, Canada. I then moved on to other tidbits in the news but today I happened to read the real story in, what else, the UK Daily Mail. She was wearing her hajib and as she bent over it became tangled in the escalator as she bent over to pick up something, maybe a Koran. Then I was looking at Weasel Zippers blog site and saw that Feb. 1 was World Hijab Day.


Did you know there was a World Hijab website to tell you all the nifty things you can do with your own personal hijab to celebrate this day. I'm guessing the lady from Montreal might want to, if given a choice, change religions.
