Of course: Obama USDA delays shale drilling, up to 200k jobs. "President Obama's United States Department of Agriculture has delayed shale gas drilling in Ohio for up to six months by cancelling a mineral lease auction for Wayne National Forest (WNF), in deference to environmentalist fears, to study the effects of hydraulic fracturing."

These people have yet another golden calf: Heaven Is a Place Called Elizabeth Warren. "On the campaign trail in Massachusetts last month with the Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, I bore witness to acts of extreme giddiness: a 20-year-old student jumping up and down, exclaiming, “Oh, my God, I am obsessed with her”"

Science panel: Get ready for extreme weather. "The panel said the world needs to get ready for more dangerous and "unprecedented extreme weather" caused by global warming. These experts fear that without preparedness, crazy weather extremes may overwhelm some locations, making some places unlivable." Uh, 'crazy weather extremes'? CRAZY? The heck does that mean?

A video clip of President Barack Obama calling America “a little bit lazy” is quickly becoming a focus of Republican campaigns, and GOP operatives say it will get plenty of play not only on the presidential battlefield but also in down-ballot congressional races.

Culture of corruption (cont'd): Feds: Kilpatrick accepted even more kickbacks in office

This RINO douchebag needs to get out of teh race now: Huntsman: Rest of GOP field was ‘in favor of basically defaulting’

Jon Huntsman criticized his competitors in the Republican presidential primary field, claiming they had irresponsibly advocated economic default during this summer’s debt-ceiling debate.

"Every single Republican I was running against was in favor of basically defaulting," Huntsman said in an interview with New Hampshire's daily Telegraph editorial board. "I mean I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. I mean, what world was everyone living in?"

The real world. A place that Huntsman apparently no longer lives in.

Bad teacher: Julio Artuz, 15-Year-Old Special Needs Student, Records Teacher Verbally Abusing Him

No one believed 15-year-old Julio Artuz when he said he was being bullied by a teacher at school -- not even his parents.

So the special needs student sought proof, by filming an encounter with said teacher at Bankbridge Regional School in New Jersey, NBC10 reports.

"Don't call me special," Artuz told the teacher.

"What? Oh my god, f-ing. What does the sign on the front of the school say? Special education," the teacher yelled back.

Artuz defended himself by saying that when he got out of the school, the teacher couldn't call him special anymore. In response, the teacher made a threat.

"...I will kick your a-- from here to kingdom-come until I'm 80 years old."

Bad teacher: Eureka suspends teacher over class being shown ‘Daily Show’ episodes

A Eureka High School teacher has been suspended until Nov. 28 for showing three segments of "The Daily Show" in his government and law class and warning students against an Internet search that yields results deemed to be pornographic.

School Superintendent Randy Crump suspended first-year teacher Rhett Felix on Tuesday morning following a two-hour executive session of the Eureka-based District 140 school board Monday night. During the public portion of the meeting, parents complained about bleeped obscenities and some sexual content of the segments and about a perception that Felix appears to have a liberal political bias.

Slavery still exists: Young jobseekers told to work without pay or lose unemployment benefits

Britain's young unemployed are being sent to work for supermarkets and budget stores for up to two months for no pay and no guarantee of a job, the Guardian can reveal.

Under the government's work experience programme young jobseekers are exempted from national minimum wage laws for up to eight weeks and are being offered placements in Tesco, Poundland, Argos, Sainsbury's and a multitude of other big name businesses.

The Department for Work and Pensions says that if jobseekers "express an interest" in an offer of work experience they must continue to work without pay, after a one-week cooling-off period, or face having their benefits docked.

How is that different than slavery?

New York Times: We will ignore Obama/Biden gaffes and focus only on the GOP. What else to make of this headline?: Candidates' Gaffes Dismay Some Republicans. Obama just claimed that Hawaii is in Asia, and not a word from the NYT.

Wall Street Journal: Another ObamaCare Glitch

Even if ObamaCare survives Supreme Court scrutiny next spring, its trials will be far from over. That's because the law has a major glitch that threatens its basic functioning. It's so problematic, in fact, that the Obama administration is now brazenly trying to rewrite the law without involving Congress.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act offers "premium assistance"—tax credits and subsidies—to households purchasing coverage through new health-insurance exchanges. This assistance was designed to hide a portion of the law's cost to individuals by reducing the premium hikes that individuals will face after ObamaCare goes into effect in 2014. (If consumers face the law's full cost, support for repeal will grow.)

The law encourages states to create health-insurance exchanges, but it permits Washington to create them if states decline. So far, only 17 states have passed legislation to create an exchange.

This is where the glitch comes in: ObamaCare authorizes premium assistance in state-run exchanges (Section 1311) but not federal ones (Section 1321). In other words, states that refuse to create an exchange can block much of ObamaCare's spending and practically force Congress to reopen the law for revisions.

States that implement an exchange are helping Obama.

Leonard Pitts Jr: I drink this glass of blood to abortion. It's Orwellian:

Nobody "likes" abortion. Nobody, not even the most ardent defender of choice, disputes the sacredness of human life.

Human life is sacred. And dismembering the most vulnerable people is AOK with Pitts. In the same sentence. Uh, yeah...

But we balance that against the conviction that there is something totalitarian in the idea the state can force a woman to bear a child that she, for whatever reason -- incest, rape, illness, deformity or grinding poverty -- does not wish to bear.

So what's different when a woman doesn't want to raise her 2-week old baby because of things like grinding poverty? What makes murder OK before birth?
