Apparently the superintendent of a school district near Chicago doesn’t like having drawings of guns on the outside of her schools, even when they are “No Guns Allowed” pictographs in accordance with a new Illinois law stealing rights from people.  This idiot needs to find a career where she doesn’t damage children.  She says that children will misunderstand the drawing and sign.

Actually, Mama Liberty and I really think that this Chicagoland teacher could put up another sign (below) that would work, even in Illinois.  Of course, first she’d have to teach her elementary school students how to read.  I assume that she can, and that at least some of the teachers and staff can, at least at a tenth-grade level.

How about this as an alternative?  Which will protect the children more?

According to that bird cage liner, the WaPo, the White House has suggested that Russia is behind the leaked call from State Dept. official to an ambassador, on which the State Department official says, “F— the E.U.”  Oh, dear, oh dear.  Never mind there are a lot of reasons maybe to even agree with the official, the guy has to learn to SHUT HIS MOUTH.  Clearly, there is no reason why Russia (or Norway, or Turkey, or CANADA, for crying out loud), would NOT be expected to listen to an unsecured phone line and to report what they hear.  Especially considering that Russians view the guy in 1600 to actually be afraid of Putin.

Montana governor could appoint Baucus replacement  as soon as Friday and I have finally realized (silly me!) WHY Baucus resigned early, so that the Dem governor (Bullock) can appoint ANOTHER Dem to keep the Senate firmly in Dem hands and give the new guy a big boost up in the elections as “the incumbent.”  I love Montana and Montanans dearly, but they are so stupid politically to keep sending  liberal statists to Helena and DC – together with a few “conservative” statists.  Baucus was confirmed Thursday as ambassador to China. Of course, Baucus has already demonstrated he has no business being the Ambassador to China, as he admits he knows very little about the Middle Kingdom.  (Apparently, Lieutenant Governor John Walsh was appointed.)

Still I guess he is better than the idiot whom the White House wants to be ambassador to Norway. Apparently he thinks that the place has a president (instead of a king) and has never even been there.  His qualifications?  He raised 1.3 million bucks for the 2012 election – winning side, of course.  Even the WaPo is upset  with this and about 22 other fundraisers given free rides to foreign vacations on the public’s dime.  Anyone who has ever read The Ugly American knows what this means.  It grosses me out.

Mama’s Note: It’s all a silly game any more, I think. Emperors and dictators don’t usually send actual ambassadors anyway, since they can’t afford to allow anyone to speak for them, and so indulging in this childish theater would be meaningless if they were not using stolen goods to pay for it.
