A jobs sausagefest: North Dakota Oil Boom Creates Camps of Men. "As much as the drilling rigs that tower over this once placid corner of the prairie, the two communities springing up just outside of town testify to the galloping pace of growth here in oil country." Obama must be horrified.
That was from the New York Times. This is from The Wall Street Journal: The Non-Green Jobs Boom. "Forget ‘clean energy.’ Oil and gas are boosting U.S. employment. — So President Obama was right all along. Domestic energy production really is a path to prosperity and new job creation. His mistake was predicting that those new jobs would be “green,” … " Indeed.

Toledo Blade: Michigan State U. associate professor's nude photos posed with students prompt questions
Danny Guthrie's work is well-known by campus officials, who have reviewed the issue, The Detroit News reported Wednesday. Coverage by The State News student newspaper drew recent attention at the East Lansing campus to Guthrie's photos, which depict the 65-year-old teacher bare-chested in some photos, while in others he's fully clothed. Guthrie poses with male and female students, faculty and colleagues and often is touching them.So for all you pedophiles out there, make sure you take pictures of your edgy sexuality and send them in to MSU to avoid arrest.
In an email to The Detroit News, Guthrie, whose biography on the university's website says he has been a faculty member there for 13 years, declined an interview and wrote: "It is not a great climate for being edgy in the area of sexuality."

In Britain, the moonbats have apparently won the culture war outright. A war where limes are considered weapons: You can't buy that lime... it could be classed as a weapon: Shock for chef shopping at Asda
A chef was stunned to find she was almost banned from buying two limes from a supermarket - because they could be classed as a weapon.What isn't classes a weapon, then?
Marisa Zoccolan, 31, popped into the new Asda supermarket close to her home in Wallsend, North Tyneside, to pick up some groceries, including the citrus fruits.
But when she tried to pay for them at the self-service checkout, the message 'amount exceeded, authorisation required' flashed up.
An assistant then came over and told her that more than one lime was deemed a weapon - because the citric acid could be squirted in someone's eye.
Liberal Media Bias: WaPo's Ezra Should Have De-Kleined
From JournoList to activist, it appears that WaPo‘s liberal blogger Ezra Klein is once again blurring the lines between being a journalist and trying to sway politics. In what appears to be at a minimum a breach of journalism ethics, Klein spoke to a group of Senate Democratic Chiefs of Staff last Friday about the Supercommittee, just days before the Committee announced its failing. “It was kind of weird,” said a longtime Senate Democratic aide, explaining that while people “enjoyed it” and gave it “positive reviews” this sort of thing is far from typical.Not to liberals.
A longtime Washington editor who deals with Capitol Hill regularly also said this is not the norm: “”I have never heard of a reporter briefing staffers. It’s supposed to be the other way around. This arrangement seems highly unusual.”

The topic at hand was drilling in the the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The trouble began when Alaska Republican Rep.

There is no fraction of the population so tiny that it cannot be organized into a victimhood constituency that provides liberals an opportunity to congratulate themselves on their moral superiorityHow is this supposed to help?
...So, I did the math: 6.5 million people in Massachusetts according to the Census Bureau, 33,000 “transgender residents” according to Downing and, unless I misplaced the decimal point, these liberals are applauding themselves for providing “equal protection” to about one-half of one percent of the state’s people. What about the other 99.5 percent?
...Ask yourself: What “rights” have actually been secured by this legislation that is the occasion for another tiresome outburst of liberal self-congratulation? Mainly, the right to sue people for “discrimination,” creating more work for ambulance-chasers who can now collect fees for filing nuisance lawsuits against companies accused of failing to meet their quota of transgendered employees.

Moonbattery: Talking Plate Chides British Taxpayers
You have to hand it to Europeans. Even though their formerly great civilization has collapsed under the weight of moonbattery, they continue to innovate. Germans invented a talking toilet to cow men into urinating in a less masculine manner. Now this has been matched with a talking plate:$2,000? I could build one for a tenth that cost!
The Swedish-made £1,500 Mandometer barks out phrases such as “please eat more slowly” if it finds that food is leaving the plate too swiftly.Who would be foolish enough to throw $2,348 at a talking plate? British taxpayers, courtesy of socialized medicine.
The device uses a scale which measures how quickly food is going off the plate.

A few minutes later, these same Republicans (plus several others who voted against creation of the agency - the "exchange") voted for a resolution that included the following assertion about the PPACA:
"The act violates the U.S. Constitution, including the Ninth and Tenth Amendments and the constitutional principles of federalism and dual sovereignty on which this nation was founded."

Always blaming someone else: Obama: GOP Main Stumbling Block to Debt Deal
Tell me if I'm wrong, but Republicans "protecting $100 billion in tax cuts for the wealthy" is laughable. That $100 billion is over 10 years, and Obama is overspending by more than $100 billion... PER MONTH! The AP caption is also absurd:

President Barack Obama says Republicans are main stumbling block to reaching an agreement after the congressional deficit reduction panel said it couldn't reach a deal to trim the national debtThere is no deal to trim the national debt. Its supposed to trim the deficit; ie - the amount of overspending. Even with the deal, the feds will continue to spend more than they take in.
This isn't what the framers had in mind: New Bedford fisherman forced to give up 800-pound tuna
...when Rafael rolled down the dock in Provincetown there was an unexpected and unwelcome development. The authorities were waiting. Agents from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Law Enforcement informed him they were confiscating his fish — all 881 pounds of it.Now that's just stupid!
Even though the catch had been declared and the boat had a tuna permit, the rules do not allow fishermen to catch bluefin tuna in a net.
“They said it had to be caught with rod and reel,” a frustrated Rafael said.“We didn't try to hide anything. We did everything by the book. Nobody ever told me we couldn't catch it with a net.”
...No charges have yet been filed in connection with the catch, but a written warning is anticipated, according to Christine Patrick, a public affairs specialist with NOAA who said the fish has been forfeited and will be sold on consignment overseas. Proceeds from the sale of the fish will be held in an account pending final resolution of the case, NOAA said. No information on the value of the fish was available Friday.
and then the inevitable divorce due to 'irreconcilable differences': Dutch fall out of love with windmills
When the Netherlands built its first sea-based wind turbines in 2006, they were seen as symbols of a greener future.
...But five years later the green future looks a long way off. Faced with the need to cut its budget deficit, the Dutch government says offshore wind power is too expensive and that it cannot afford to subsidize the entire cost of 18 cents per kilowatt hour -- some 4.5 billion euros last year.
The government now plans to transfer the financial burden to households and industrial consumers in order to secure the funds for wind power and try to attract private sector investment.

In Michigan, the public sector union racket continues unabated, especially in 'education': Utica gym teachers make $90K, more than police chief
...31 UCS gym teachers earn more than the city's police chief and 36 outpace the fire chief's salary. After studying the district's payroll, the center concluded that large majority of Utica physical education teachers make over $80,000.Ya think? Plus this:
The city of Utica fire chief earns $73,440. Before leaving in March, the Utica police chief made $79,000. The Utica Community Schools has 36 gym teachers who earn more than the fire chief and 31 phys ed teachers who earned more than the police chief.
...I suspect few taxpayers would understand the logic behind paying gym teachers more than police chiefs.
At the same time, the Mackinac Center points out, UCS closed four of its elementary schools last year to save money as it faced a $33 million deficit in 2010-11. The district’s website blamed politicians for the "ongoing failure by the state Legislature to bring about stable and ongoing financial reform with regard to Michigan’s public schools.”
Yet, half of the district’s 52 gym teachers make more than $89,500 a year.
...Mackinac's website, michigancapitolconfidential.com has compiled the salaries of gym teachers at many of the districts throughout the state in an effort to highlight how the public school’s salary system compensates based only on seniority and level of education.

Hmmm: Democratic Pollsters: Obama Should Abandon Run for Second Term

“He should abandon his candidacy for re-election in favor of a clear alternative, one capable not only of saving the Democratic Party, but more important, of governing effectively and in a way that preserves the most important of the president's accomplishments. He should step aside for the one candidate who would become, by acclamation, the nominee of the Democratic Party: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,”Caddell and Schoen wrote.
