I suppose some liberal or ACLU types might argue this wasn’t desecration or vandalism but, “freedom of expression.”
No one who burns, trashes, rips, tears, desecrates, spits on, tramples on, urinates on, vandalizes, or destroys an American flag gets any sympathy from me.

Guess again, Wally.
Despite all the controversy and news coverage surrounding the latest example of government overstepping its bounds, there is a great deal of confusion and sheer ignorance of the impending smoking ban with about a month before it takes hold.
Wally Kriesant says (hopes?) the guys with badges will step up to ensure the law is obeyed. What Kriesant needs to realize is that under this ingenious statute, he bears responsibility, and a lot.
The Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau in a memo clarifies who is responsible for enforcement. Listen up, barkeeps:
“The person in charge of a facility is responsible for making reasonable efforts to prohibit persons from illegally smoking. For example, a bartender may not provide matches, ashtrays, or other smoking-related equipment, and must take all of the following steps: Government at its best
"'Obama Struggling to Show He's in Control,' reads the headline on The Washington Post's story on Barack Obama's Thursday press conference, where most of the questions were about the Gulf oil spill. 'Defensive, unauthoritative and equivocal,' wrote Congressional Quarterly's Craig Crawford of Obama's performance. 'He came across as a beleaguered bureaucrat in damage control.'
Uh-oh. People, even people in the Obama-friendly press, are beginning to say that the oil spill is Obama's Katrina. That it destroys his reputation for competence. "Visit Arizona-Part 25

The MacIver Institute continues its outstanding reporting on wasteful spending at MPS. Its latest report opens:
“As the Milwaukee Public Schools Board of Directors prepares to vote on a budget proposal that may include layoffs for hundreds of employees, they continue to spend nearly $100,000 a month on a non-profit organization that is failing in its mission to improve performance at five troubled MPS high schools.”

We added 540,000 jobs last month
Wow, that is great news!
NOT SO FAST!
The overwhelming majority of those jobs are attributed to the huge infusion of temporary Census workers. So this particular jobs report is very misleading.
Even so, let’s see how the Obama-loving media portrays this news, Will they report the obvious, or will they continue to be brainwashed and wave the pom poms.Goodnight everyone, and have a happily ever after weekend!

Gulf Coast Comedy of Errors
"The President’s recent trip to the region did not help matters at all. While it was positive that he visited coastal Louisiana, he was sheltered from the real damage. The President walked the clean beaches of Grand Isle, instead of visiting damaged marshes. Right before he arrived, hundreds of workers mysteriously arrived to clean up the beach on Grand Isle. Right after Mr. Obama left, the workers departed as well. According to representatives of Oil Mop, Inc., the contractor in charge of the clean-up operation, it was just a coincidence that the workers started right before the presidential visit. If you believe that nonsense, I have some Louisiana swamp land to sell you."Why Should Kids Have All the Fun? Adult Summer Reading Club is Here!
