Pauly Goes To Summer Camp

2

Our pet polit­i­cal platy­pus lives out back in a lovely watery habi­tat, but he does get a bit weary of the city, espe­cially in hot weather. So we’ve been scout­ing around for a place to send Pauly off for a rest­ful fun-​​filled vaca­tion, and we’ve dis­cov­ered the per­fect thing. It’s tea party sum­mer camp!

A group called the “Tampa 912 Project”  (which come to think of it has faint echoes of Glenn Beck, doesn’t it?) will host a one-​​week sem­i­nar in mid-​​July for chil­dren aged 8–12, guar­an­teed to teach our lit­tle platy­pus the “prin­ci­ples on which our nation was founded.” Those prin­ci­ples include: “Amer­ica is good,” “I believe in God and He is the cen­ter of my life” and “I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who­ever I want to. Gov­ern­ment can­not force me to be charitable.”

What nice lit­tle cherubs they will be after a week of this! (more…)

Open Mic June 17

20

Inter­est­ing week this week. We had a debate of Repub­li­cans in New Hamp­shire, includ­ing a declared can­di­dacy from Rep. Michele Bach­mann (R-​​MN). And now it looks like Jon Hunts­man will be join­ing her next week.

It’s Fri­day, though, which means it’s your time. What would you like to talk about this week?

Don’t see an arti­cle on a par­tic­u­lar topic, but want to talk about it some­where? This is Open Mic. Talk about what­ever you want, but stay respectful.

We cre­ate a new Open Mic every week to give a clean slate, but feel free to add to this topic at any time.
