Fox guest on classroom fairness: Exclude kids who dont deserve a pity Valentine
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/02/13/fox-guest-on-classroom-fairness-exclude-kids-who-dont-deserve-a-pity-valentine/
A Fox News guest on Thursday asserted that some children should be excluded when Valentines Day cards are given out at school so that they can learn that the world isnt fair while the stakes are low.
For years, many teachers have asked grade-school students to bring Valentines Day cards for everyone in the class if they bring them to school. But when one New Jersey teacher sent a note home this year explaining the policy, Fox News hosted a segment suggesting that political correctness was running amuck.

Colorado State Senator: It Was A Good Thing That Movie Theater Gunman Had 100-Round Magazine

Quote from Colorado state Sen. Bernie Herpin (R)
As it turned out, that was maybe a good thing that he had a 100-round magazine, because it jammed. If he had four, five, six 15-round magazines, theres no telling how much damage he could have done until a good guy with a gun showed up.

A fashion mogul offered some advice to Americans who arent among the top 1 percent of wealth holders: Stop whining.
Weve got a country that the poverty level is wealth in 99 percent of the rest of the world, said Bud Konheim, CEO and co-founder of the luxury fashion company Nicole Miller. Were talking about woe is me, woe is us, woe is this.
Konheim, whose company sells $800 sequined dresses and $250 purses, disagreed with another panelist Wednesday on CNBCs Squawk Box that Americas bottom 99 percent were among the top 1 percent elsewhere.

Kentucky trooper wants job back because raping that girl was just a moral mistake
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/02/13/kentucky-trooper-wants-job-back-because-raping-that-girl-was-just-a-moral-mistake/
A Kentucky state trooper told a trial board last month that he would like to have his job back after he was fired for having sex with a 15-year-old girl, calling the relationship a moral mistake.
In a transcript obtained by WDRB, former Kentucky State Trooper Jerry Clanton asserted to the Kentucky State Police Trial Board that he was under the false impression that the 15-year-old girl was 18 years old when he started having sex with her.
