Obama Regime Will Now Limit School Bake Sales Thanks to Queen Michelle’s Nutrition Bill…


Washington (AP) - A child nutrition bill on its way to President Barack Obama – and championed by the first lady – gives the government power to limit school bake sales and other fundraisers that health advocates say sometimes replace wholesome meals in the lunchroom.


bake sales at school are bad for kids. But this crap is OK

tsa told to tell children groping them is a game

from the that’s-not-a-game dept

Apparently TSA agents are being told that one way to handle the new groping pat downs for children is to try to make it out to be some sort of “game.” This is apparently horrifying some sex abuse experts who point out that a common tactic in abuse cases is to tell the kids that they’re just “playing a game.” The TSA has said that the newer patdowns will not apply to children under 12, but the rules have been somewhat unclear — leading to the statement from a TSA director, James Marchand:

“You try to make it as best you can for that child to come through. If you can come up with some kind of a game to play with a child, it makes it a lot easier.”

He also said that the idea of making it a game would become a part of the TSA’s training. Ken Wooden, who runs an organization to try to stop sex abuse of children was not pleased:

“How can experts working at the TSA be so incredibly misinformed and misguided to suggest that full body pat downs for children be portrayed as a game?” Wooden asked in an email. “To do so is completely contrary to what we in the sexual abuse prevention field have been trying to accomplish for the past thirty years.”

Next they'll have the TSA agents saying "now you mustn't tell anyone about this, it's our little secret"...

The parents look at it happening but refuse to "see" it because then they might have to do something about it. So they go have another soy latte at Starbucks.

Which is rather ironic, considering.

If you've ever read "Moby Dick" (and I'm about to do it again), you know that Starbuck (who drank a lot of coffee, hence...) was the young first mate on the whaling ship Pequod. At some point in the trip Starbuck realizes that Captain Ahab has gone round the bend and off the deep end (not unusual with whaling captains for some reason) and that he really should relieve him of duty, then take command and the ship home before the old lunatic gets them all killed. As this was a commercial and not a military vessel he was empowered to do this to protect the crew and cargo.

Starbuck can't bring himself to do it. He waffles and agonizes about it the whole trip like some floating Hamlet, and then suddenly the danger is looming in their faces and it's too late.

Starbucks, home away from home of wishy-washy sitting around drinking coffee thinking up excuses not to do what has to be done to save their own futures.

So fitting.
