  1. The currency of Venezuela, the Bolivar has hit somewhat of a barrier today, easing up slightly to +500 / 1 American dollar… not very much is available at the “official” exchange rate.

    It’s tracked twice daily at this illegal to access within Venezuela website:

    The numbers at Dolartoday are an average of actual exchange rates in both San Cristobal and in Cucuta Colombia, about 40 kilometres away from SC.

  5. Sorry for the duplicate Colonialista. Amazing how far the state has gone without a riot by the parents.

  6. Indeed, but kids are much more resilient than our betters like to believe. The more overzealous the state the more cumbersome and incompetent it gets. Kids can smell bull$hit a mile away and it is never too early for them to start learning …

  9. I just listened to this a few minutes ago. It’s a lovely rendition.
    Colonialista, PeterJ, this is nothing a lawsuit can’t fix.
    A merry Fourth of July to the Americans.

  10. Thank you for reminding me.
    May our American friends have a great Fourth of July, and may you remain a free people.

  11. Under the “O, Sweet Saint of San Andreas” headline:
    http://news.yahoo.com/woman-shot-death-busy-san-francisco-tourist-attraction-071710472.html#
    Money quote “Freya Horne, counsel for the sheriff’s office, said Friday that federal detention orders are not a legal basis to hold someone” and “San Francisco is a sanctuary city, and local money cannot be spent to cooperate with federal immigration law”
    I wonder if they’d be that accommodating to someone fleeing persecution because they don’t believe in Gay Marriage?

  13. So much better than Obama singing Amazing Grace (I’m amazed he knows the words).
    For the Fourth of July I will quote Thomas Paine (as does Glen Beck):
    “THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated”
    ― Thomas Paine, The Crisis

  14. I decided to check out the school via Wikapedia. I discovered this interesting fact:
    “The student population at CSIHS is culturally and linguistically diverse. In the 2010-11 school year, the student population was identified as 2.2% American Indian/Alaskan Native, 17.7% Asian, 2.1% Pacific Islander, 19.8% Asian/Pacific Islander, 24.7% African-American, 20.6% Hispanic, 31.7% Caucasian, and 1% Two or More Races. 54.8% of the students qualified for free or reduced meals.[3]”
    Oh dear me. Someone’s arithmetic skills are not good as the total above is 119.8%. It will be difficult to be more culturally and linguistically diverse than that.

  15. Granola Munchers/Tree Huggers give standing ovation to mad doctor who said that 90% of the humans on earth ned to be wiped out See the conciqunces of Paul Ehrliches lies and junk science the same with Racheal Carson the enviroemntral movment was started by lies and junk science and deep ecology

  18. Or today’s equivalent of the Sturm Abteilung will make sure you do fall in line.

  19. Well that’s easy. There’s a category for Asian. Then a category for Pacific Island. Then after is a category for Asian/Pacific Island that has exactly the amount you say it’s over 100%.

  20. Of course you are correct but then……Check all boxes that apply. Check them all. That’s what I do. I’m certainly a diversely cultural person.

  25. “Greek crisis: EU warns of Armageddon if voters reject terms”
