Saturday song
I'm heading to the Outer Banks for the week, so here's a video shot there - Brad Paisley's "Waitin' on a Woman."
Delusion or deception

The Daily Progress story on someone suing for the lack of a transgender bathroom brought a great comment on Facebook.
i was just in the ladies' restroom in the library where someone peed all over the seat and the floor. If males dressed as females are going to use female restrooms, they need to pee sitting down instead of hosing the whole toilet area.
Just remember.
He'd probably sue for the right to pee standing up in the women's restroom.

Cashing in
The New York Times has been pretty good to Marco Rubio lately - since he was prepared for the attacks.
Rubio has already incorporated a line about it into his stump speech. “The latest one that I’m starting to hear rumblings about,” he told a crowd in Ames, Iowa, on Saturday, “is that Marco Rubio’s not rich enough to be president.” The senator used the unwanted attention to attack the likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton: “Well, it’s true, I don’t make $11 million a year giving speeches to special-interest groups, and it’s true that my family’s foundation hasn’t raised $2 billion, a lot of it from foreign entities with business before the State Department.”
Which candidate sounds like the member of the top one percent - Clinton or Rubio?

People of microaggression
The college campus seems full of people angry about racism, sexism and another thing that offends them.
How many check out People of Wal-Mart?
Do they laugh at these people while whining about supposed hateful meanings in words used for years without problems?
If there's a group being targeted for discrimination, the people of the People of Wal-Mart have a great case.
But nobody's going to the mattress for them.

Not funny "ha-ha," funny strange
More on the humorlessness of the hyper PC crowd at Ricohet.
Progressive conferences instruct their attendees about all the jokes that are off-limits. At last year’s Netroots Nation, professional “humorists” offered to review jokes to ensure they didn’t harm disenfranchised communities. At the three-day event, I rarely saw an attendee crack a smile, let alone laugh.
More and more, comedians are realizing that their progressive allies are the ones trying to silence them, not those unsophisticated conservatives comics love to mock. Perhaps comics should seize this opportunity to joke about humorless liberals before it’s too late.

Struggling to make ends meet.

Checking for his mattress tags?
Has he recorded a baseball game without the express written consent of Major League Baseball?

The primary election is over in Augusta County.
Senator Emmett Hanger won big over two opponents.

Where not to spend senior week
Some high school graduates head to ocean beaches after the ceremonies.
I don't think there's a beach at Middle River Regional Jail.
Graduation at Wilson Memorial brought force charges that six people - including several graduates - about a Friday abduction of another graduate.
Glick said the victim told authorities he was lifted over a fence by his assailants, and said at one point the bag on his head was removed. Glick said the teen told investigators he witnessed a satanic ritual being performed that involved a circle of candles.
The teen was eventually driven near his home and released, Glick said.
During the Wilson Memorial High School graduation on Saturday, the teen reported the alleged abduction to a school resource officer.
Glick said some of the suspects were rounded up at post-graduation parties. She said a fake gun — an AirSoft handgun that shoots non-lethal plastic pellets — was recovered by investigators.
Some graduates get a quick lesson in real life.

Bring on the microaggression
Is it micoaggression to continue using the name Bruce Jenner?
I'm sorry if you think it is.
He doesn't look like any 65-year-old woman I know.
He's only two years younger than Hillary Clinton. Can you imagine her doing the things Jenner is doing on TV and magazines now?

We're still standing
William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection provides lessons from a recent visit to Israel.
The biggest is how to survive the constant threat of terror.
Despite several decades of terrorism, particularly intense during the Second Intifada, and a world campaign against it, the People of Israel are still there.
The will to resist is underestimated. Israel has a longer-term view, and a history. It will not give in to boycotts, or Obama, or outside pressure that puts its security at risk.

Riding high on the hog
Scott Walker rides a Harley.
Saturday, the press saw him ride through Iowa.
It was a moment that the governor, making his fifth visit to Iowa as a likely 2016 candidate, clearly relished. Waiting for the program to start, he posed for pictures with fellow bikers, showed off his Harley-Davidson rewards card to the throngs of supporters gathered around him, and entertained questions from reporters about how fast he planned to go.
“Whatever speed Joni’s going,” he said, as he strapped on a helmet and a pair of goggles.

Dog of the day
The minor league baseball team in Wilmington, Del. offers a "sweenie dog."
You take a Krispy Kreme dog, and fill it with a hot dog and bacon. And raspberry jam.
My brother had one tonight.
Michelle Obama felt a disturbance in the food force.

Don't fear being intolerant
DaTech Guy has the latest on Bruce Jenner, including a Wikipedia update claiming he has run the fastest 400 meters by a woman.
Fear is the tactic the left used to keep GOP candidates from critiquing candidate Barack Obama, fear is the tactic that was used to critique those who would day suggest Michael Brown was not a “gentle giant”, fear was the tactic used against those who passed religious freedom laws, stood up for the reality of marriage and noted that the cities falling apart have been governed by Democrats for decades.
No fear.
