Starting off with the weather

According to the NWS, the official count is ten tornadoes yesterday afternoon/evening. Five confirmed dead statewide. Our weather weenies are no better than any others at the "This will be the weather in fifty years" crap, but when it comes to 'later today, right now' they're pretty good, so people got warning.

Used to have a neighbor, originally from New York, who was scared bleepless of the very thought of a tornado, and it drove her nuts that when the media started talking about 'circulation in the 'X' area', instead of hiding people would go out to look. But that's Oklahoma.

Moving on, Michelle Malkin has more on Kagan, and also this on one of Obama's people:
Daniel J. Meltzer, a top White House lawyer who has played a critical behind-the-scenes role in the administration legal team, is resigning next month and will return to his tenured position as a Harvard law school professor, the White House said on Friday.

Mr. Meltzer’s last day as the principal deputy counsel to President Obama will be June 1. Since the administration took office, he has worked on nearly every major legal issue the White House has handled, a sprawling portfolio that ranged from domestic policies to national security matters.

…Among other things, Mr. Meltzer played a leading role in the administration’s efforts to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and related policies affecting terrorism detainees.

…In addition, Mr. Meltzer, who teaches courses on the federal courts at Harvard, helped prepare Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor for her confirmation hearings – a role he may reprise in his final weeks by working with Mr. Obama’s forthcoming Supreme Court nominee, which the president is expected to announce as soon as Monday
.
I've reached the conclusion that 'Harvard law professor' ought to disqualify someone of damn near ANY position in the government.


If I'm not mistaken, Rep. Barney Frank's(Socialist Lying Dirtbag-MA) boyfriend is still on the board at Fannie May, which is now coming with its hand out for more money. Naw, no conflict of interest there, and somehow this is more evidence of the Evil Party fixing the problem. Yeah.


Obama aides getting chauffeurs; wonder if the media will do any of the same stuff they'd have done if Bush had ordered this?



Tracy Hathaway, of Salinas, CA, told FOX News Radio her 13-year-old daughter was ordered to stop drawing the American flag and start another project at Gavilan View Middle School.

“She had drawn the flag and was sketching the letters, ‘God bless America,’ when the teacher confronted her,” Hathaway told FOX. “She said, ‘You can’t draw that – that’s offensive.’”

Even more striking, another student in the same art class drew a picture of President Obama and was praised by the teacher
.
A bunch of teachers and their unions wonder why they don't get the respect they think they deserve; in part it's because of teachers like this.


Further reason to tell the UN to get its corrupt self out of this country:
The World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations' public health arm, is moving full speed ahead with a controversial plan to impose global consumer taxes on such things as Internet activity and everyday financial transactions like paying bills online — while its spending soars and its own financial house is in disarray.
AND tell the organization to go directly to hell.


An encounter with Cindy Sheehan; she does not come off well.


Ok, so these clowns need their Mexican flag slapped to the ground. If they actually believe this crap, they need to leave this oh-so-offensive country and go to live in Mexico.
Pro-open borders protesters in Morgan Hill, California slap the US flag to the ground and then march and hold a rally chanting: “This is occupied Mexico”…”This is all our country…we are all Mexicans”…”We want respect”….”Si Se Puede”



To conclude the morning, from Ace,
Okay it was an internet poll of 9000 women rather than a random sample, but there are still all kinds of statistical goodness here. According to the survey most women make less than $30K a year, 31% have had plastic surgery, 84% claim to be able to parallel park, and a plurality would want to sleep with Zooey Deschanel if they were lesbians and/or had a few cocktails.
Well, hell, can't really blame them for that...
