Publik Edekashun: Boy, 13, Arrested For... Illegal Marker Possession

Publik Edekashun: Boy, 13, Arrested For... Illegal Marker Possession: "I kid you not! It is, after all, far from April Fool's. This is indeed parody becoming reality. And he was taken to jail after a moonbat teacher turned him in. From The Smoking Gun via memeorandum:
She should be arrested for exposing students to stupidity
A 13-year-old boy was arrested Friday for using a permanent marker while in class at his Oklahoma City middle school, a violation of an obscure city ordinance.

According to an Oklahoma City Police Department report, the boy was spotted “in possession of a permanent marker” by Roosevelt Middle School teacher DeLynn Woodside. The 50-year-old educator told cop Miguel Campos that the student was “writing on a piece of paper, which caused it to bleed over onto the desk.”

Woodside ... reported that the child, whose name was redacted by police from the report, attempted to hide the marker when she asked him for it. Strangely, Woodside’s Facebook page reveals that her “likes and interests” include the official “Sharpie Permanent Markers” page on Facebook.

Campos reported that he allowed Woodside, a seventh grade math teacher, to “sign a citation” against the boy, who was then transported to the Community Intervention Center, a juvenile holding facility. A police sergeant subsequently “booked the marker into the property room.”
In other words, she made a citizens arrest. Over a marker. So while bureaucrats ignore terrorists spilling across the border, they are bending over backwards to enforce silly and absurd laws that nobody ever heard of before. No long from now, bureaucrats will also be calling the police on lemonade stands. Oh, wait.

Media Finds Its Messiah Reborn Again In Time For Christmas

Media Finds Its Messiah Reborn Again In Time For Christmas: "

Most Americans feel the wrath of Barack Obama’s failed Keynesian experiment.


But, to the state-run media… He is still the one.

The halo is back on the comeback kid

Barack Obama Hails Failed & Rejected 111th Congress As “Most Productive in Decades”

from The Gateway Pundit


Barack Obama Hails Failed & Rejected 111th Congress As “Most Productive in Decades”: "

Barack Obama hailed the 111th Congress as the “most productive in decades” yesterday at his lame duck press conference.


But, just how productive were they?

They promised jobs, but instead we got this…


Barack Obama tripled the national deficit in one year. When Speaker Pelosi took over Congress the national deficit was $162 billion. When she exits as Speaker it will be at $1.29 Trillion dollars.

Obama topped a trillion dollars his second year, too.



(The Captain’s Comments)

The Obama-Pelosi regime damaged the economy for years to come.


Spending was up 84% under Obama.


The democrats doubled the unemployment rate from where it was when they took over Congress.



(Source: US Misery Index)


48 of 50 states have lost jobs since they rammed through their Trillion dollar stimulus bill. The Obama-Pelosi economic plan resulted in a cumulative 7.5 million jobs deficit. In fact, Barack Obama is the worst jobs president since the Great Depression.


Maybe that explains why Barack Obama saw 63 democrat representatives lose their seats to Republicans this year- a 70 year record. A majority of Americans said the election was a referendum on Obama’s failed agenda.


But at least his media lapdogs still love him.

Oh No! Not Again… SEWAGE SPILL Threatens Obama Family Vacation

from The Gateway Pundit


Oh No! Not Again… SEWAGE SPILL Threatens Obama Family Vacation: "

Last one in is a rotten egg.



A sewage spill is being forced into Kailua Bay where President Obama and his family are staying.

Via The Hawaii Reporter:


The City & County of Honolulu reports there were an estimated 14 sewage spills during the heavy rainstorm last weekend, at least four of which the state says happened in the windward community of Kailua where President Obama and his family are staying this holiday season.


Those sewage overflows rose from waterlogged manholes and went into the Kaelepulu Stream, which is one of two major waterways in the Kailua district. No total for the sewage gallon count total has been posted yet.


The stream comes from Kaelepulu pond and wetland, which goes through Enchanted Lakes, a division of Kailua, and stops just feet short of the ocean.


Historically, at least once a month, the city opens the mouth of the stream via tractors moving the sand around, and the workers let the pollution runoff and brown water that has accumulated go unfiltered into Kailua Bay. This is the beach once rated the number one beach in the country, but no longer gets the ranking. The reason the city officials do this? The fresh water, which goes by homes built in the area, will get too polluted if they don’t.


The ocean current, which in Kailua brings everything to shore, not out to sea, quickly takes the brown water from the mouth of the canal throughout Kailua Bay, landing on the other side of the beach. I know this because I grew up on this beach, swim and surf here, and take our kids in these waters. I have seen many storms pass through and watch the ocean patterns and currents closely to see where debris – and sometimes dead seabirds and fish – land.


While some scientists say this dredging hasn’t impacted the water quality, many a local swimmer, paddler and surfer who grew up in Kailua will admit to staff infections or gastro-intestinal illnesses, perhaps from a swim at the wrong place at the right time of the month…


President Barack Obama and his family are visiting the islands, and in fact, are staying right on Kailua beach in the homes where the brown water, bubbles and all, will finally land.


Remember this?

Slain Border Officer Terry’s Family Slams Napolitano: “You Gotta Wake Your Man Up In The White House!” (Video)

Slain Border Officer Terry’s Family Slams Napolitano: “You Gotta Wake Your Man Up In The White House!” (Video): "

“You Gotta Wake Your Man Up In The White House!”

The Terry family ripped the Obama Administration before the funeral of the their son who was killed in southern Arizona this week.



The family of slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry slammed DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano during the funeral of their son who was murdered while protecting the Arizona border.


WGUN reported:


Not so typical was what Brian’s family had to say to KGUN9 the night before he was brought to his final resting place at Michigan Memorial Park. “I understand that Janet Napolitano called (Tuesday night). What did you say to her?” 9 On Your Side reporter Joel Waldman asked Brian Terry’s father, Kent.


“‘I said you gotta wake your man up in the White House,’” Kent responded. “And she said, ‘He’s done more in the last two years than any other president.’”


But the Terrys told Waldman that they don’t buy it. Kent, step mom Carolyn, mom Josie, older brother Kent Jr., sisters Kelly and Michelle are all angry that their son and brother, Brian, died the way he did. They’re not shy about blaming President Obama’s administration for not doing enough, taking aim directly at Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.


“She spoke with us and they were empty words today when she spoke,” said step mom Carolyn Terry.


“Why so empty?” Waldman asked.


That question prompted a flurry of comments from the Terrys: “They had no meaning to them.”


“She’ll have Christmas.”


“She’ll forget about it tomorrow.”


Meanwhile… Napolitano chided reporters for making this a story.

Sad. Bethlehem Shops Ban the Cross Due to Growth of Islamic Radicalism

Sad. Bethlehem Shops Ban the Cross Due to Growth of Islamic Radicalism: "

What sad news.

Bethlehem shops are selling T-shirts depicting the Church of the Nativity without the cross due to growth of Islamic fundamentalism in the area.



Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem (Farsinet)


Asia News reported, via Camera:


This Christmas in Bethlehem, the cross has been banned from souvenirs for tourists and pilgrims in the Holy Land. Some textile workshops in Jerusalem and Hebron have begun to print and sell T-shirts depicting the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem without the cross. Because of the growth of Islamic fundamentalism in the Palestinian territories, the cross was also removed from t-shirts of football teams. Interviewed by AsiaNews, Samir Qumsieh, journalist and director of the Catholic television station Al-Mahed Nativity TV in Bethlehem, said: “I want to launch a campaign to urge people not to buy these products – he says – because the removal of the cross is an intimidation against Christians, it is like saying that Jesus was never crucified. ”


Like every year, thousands including authorities, faithful and tourists from all over the world crowd, the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem for midnight mass on the night of 24 December. It will be celebrated by the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and will be attended by the highest offices of the Palestinian Authority.


Qumsieh says that the population is living these days with joy, but the situation for Christians is still dramatic. According to the journalist, the dialogue of recent years between Muslims, Christians and Jews has not changed the situation.


“In the Holy Land – said Qumsieh – the emigration of Christians is growing, even if the authorities refuse to give precise numbers. Every day there are people who flee to other countries. As Christians, we live in a constant feeling of fear and uncertainty, and if you live in constant tension and pessimism you can not plan anything.


And to think… We have an administration that is afraid to mention the word “Islam” and “radicalism” in the same press conference.
