• Netflix Magic School Bus to Kids: Use Clean Energy or Monsters Will Eat You

  by Alain41 on October 10, 2017

  **Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted by Alain** The Magic School Bus Rides Again series at Netflix has ‘climate change’ episodes that inform kids if they don’t use clean energy, a monster will eat them. Educational for sure. Bet if Conservatives did a show that informed children that Obamacare was designed to kill their parents by making health care too expensive, Hollywood would go up in arms. Via NewsBusters. The Magic School Bus is back in the new Netflix series The Magic School Bus Rides Again! Overall, it’s still a nice, fun 13-episode series like we remember from when we were kids, but with some left turns. There is a pretty predictable take on climate change propaganda for little kids,...

  by Alain41 on March 5, 2015

  **Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By Alain** France has issued international arrest warrants for 3 men involved in an 1982 bombing/shooting at a Parisian Jewish deli that killed 6 people including 2 Americans and wounded 22. “…the identification of the three suspects in the deli attack was the culmination of years of investigation by French law enforcement officials…” Years of investigation! 33 to be exact. Holding my breath for the actual arrests, extradition, trials, and sentences. Will that be a 132 year wait, Monsieur Clouseau? Via NYT: Paris Seeks 3 Suspects in 1982 Attack on Jewish Deli For more than three decades, the case, at the time considered the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in France sinceWorld War II, remained unsolved,...

• Sgt. Reckless: The Only Horse To Become A Marine Sergeant

  by Alain41 on August 11, 2014

  **Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By Alain41** Sgt. Reckless was a mongolian mare purchased in Korea to take military equipment up the Korean hills during the war. Received two purple hearts, liked to drink beer, and was promoted to USMC Sergeant after the war. Story is a nice antidote to Pres. Feckless, present and unaccounted for, Sir. Via NY Post: Meet the only horse to become a Marine sergeant Sixty years ago, a barrier was broken for the US military — the first animal ever was promoted to sergeant. But Reckless the horse was no ordinary beast. Serving with valor in Korea, she saved the lives of fellow Marines and was decorated with presidential citations and two Purple Hearts....

• Teachers Follow All the Rules, And Student Gets Frostbite

  by Alain41 on March 6, 2014

  **Bumped up from TamWire. Posted by Alain41** A fire alarm went off at a Minn. school, so all the students were evacuated. One 14 yr. old girl, who was in the pool, couldn’t get to her clothes in her locker so she went outside wet in her swimsuit. There is a school rule against letting students into teachers’ cars, so she shivered for 10 minutes in the cold though other students surrounded her and gave her a sweatshirt for her feet etc. She now has been diagnosed with frostbite in her feet. Zero tolerance school rules have so scared everyone that no one makes common sense decisions anymore. Via National Review Online: Minnesota School Freezes Live Student A St. Paul...

  by Alain41 on February 2, 2014

  **Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By Alain41** Texas politics. Greg Abbott was on the October 2013 cover of Texas Monthly magazine with a shotgun, so now Democrats are circulating a pic of Wendy Davis posing with Ann Richards’ shotgun that Ann’s daughter presented to her. Supposed to show continuity from last Democrat woman Governor, Richards, to the presumptive next one. Republicans are comparing pic to Dukakis’ tank pic. DailyKos calls that mudslinging. Wonder what DK said about the push grandma off the cliff advertisement. Pics of Palins with guns at end of blogpost. Via A Time For Choosing: Wendy David Poses with a Shotgun, Democrat Party Sez:”She Will Do Her Best to Kick Some Ass With It!” You know...
