Imagine that white right-wing extremist Tim McVeigh blows up the Murrah Building, but some conservative group says the real criminals are black gay liberals. Anybody who said that would be instantly ridiculed, and never taken seriously again by any morally sane person. Somehow, I doubt that will happen with these sacred monsters.
Meanwhile, in Sodom on the Potomac, among those not involved in the temper tantrum,
The Senate rejected legislation Wednesday that would allow the FBI to search Americans’ Internet browsing histories and email records without a warrant.
By a barely-enough vote.
There are far too many "I'll trade your privacy and rights for the perception of security!" idiots in office.
Speaking of said idiots, and the secret lists so many of them like so much,
The air marshals, whose identities are being concealed, told 7NEWS that they're required to submit at least one report a month. If they don't, there's no raise, no bonus, no awards and no special assignments.
"Innocent passengers are being entered into an international intelligence database as suspicious persons, acting in a suspicious manner on an aircraft ... and they did nothing wrong," said one federal air marshal.

What kind of impact would it have for a flying individual to be named in an SDR?
"That could have serious impact ... They could be placed on a watch list. They could wind up on databases that identify them as potential terrorists or a threat to an aircraft. It could be very serious," said Don Strange, a former agent in charge of air marshals in Atlanta. He lost his job attempting to change policies inside the agency.

A student from Helena High School in Montana, Kaitlyn Juvik, was seriously disturbed about men “sexualizing women’s bodies.” So, she decided to organize No Bra Day at Helena: A day where perky high school girls would walk the halls and go to classes bra-less in protest.
That'll show 'em! Talk about a dagger to the heart of the patriarchy; I don’t know how male privilege will ever rebound from the onslaught of bra-less girls.
Yep; jiggling boobs and nipples have nothing to do with sex and stuff...

I wonder if any of her classmates are trying to think up and argument that clothing itself is patriarchal?
She should have arranged for the protest to be a ditch day in which she and her unsupported co-conspirators toured Helena businesses with signs. It might be still cool enough in Helena for them to provide additional incentive for close scrutiny by businessmen.
