I suppose it was inevitable. A laughable, profoundly dishonest, narcissistic “movement,” cheered on by leftist academics and their credulous protégés – David Graeber and Priya Gopal, take a bow – becomes a subject for “study” by leftist academics and their credulous protégés.

The Left constantly celebrates actor Alec Baldwin for his “brave” stances against conservatives. Turns out though that he’s nothing more than a pompous, arrogant windbag who is now on the Bad Boy List of both American Airlines and Greyhound.
Taiwanese animators have their own humorous take on Baldwin’s recent “princess” moments:
The Radio-Canada ombudsman has upheld a series of complaints made by the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) about the network’s Middle East coverage. […]
Ombudsman Pierre Tourangeau concluded that two reports by [Ginette Lamarche] did not respect the network’s standards for impartiality and accuracy.
And then some.

And that’s why I’m building a Bug Out Bag;
A “food insecure” Muppet is helping to promote a national “Food for Thought” campaign that teaches poor families to seek out nutritious food and to eat on the taxpayers’ tab.
At the National Press Club on Thursday, Lily the Muppet – who worries about her family not having enough money to feed her properly — pitched free food at school:
“Sometimes we can’t always afford to buy all the food that we need,” Lily said. “I mean, but we’ve been finding lots of ways that we can get help…Yeah, for example, at school I get a free breakfast and a lunch…part of the meal plan.”

| Based on traffic statistics from previous years, we’ve found our Christmas Carol Song Sheets (formatted for printing) to be a perennial favourite here at SDA. Therefore I’ve now made them available again, for the duration of the season, via The Sagacious Iconoclast‘s Table of Contents page.

Peter Schweizer, author of Throw Them All Out, had some very interesting things to say in an interview about rampant corruption throughout government in America.
One of the many facts he presented was that 7 of the 10 richest counties in America surround Washington, DC. Here’s a list of them from late 2010.
And here’s a closeup of the DC area:
Any devil’s advocate care to explain how this isn’t perfect evidence that there’s just too much damn government in the U.S. in 2011?!

Canada’s most infamous watermelon doesn’t hold back in expressing just how much she abhors her country. Although, in fairness, it’s not clear whether she has given up her Canadian citizenship and become a resident of Tuvalu. Here’s hoping.
Events in recent months have fed much fuel to the belief that much of today’s youth are nothing more than lazy entitlement junkies. While that’s sadly true in too many cases, there are exceptions. One of these is exemplified by Sean Quigley, a high-school student from Winnipeg, Manitoba, who released this music video on YouTube last Wednesday. Turn up the volume and watch it full screen for maximum effect:
It has since gone viral, with now well over half a million views!
Charles Adler recently interviewed Quigley. What an inspiring, positive young man, eh?!
The song is now available for purchase for just 99 cents. Please consider buying a copy and helping make this young Canadian a shining example for others of his generation.
