THE SNEEZE. From my email.
They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With their rich maroon gowns flowing and the traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt.

Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears.

This class would NOT pray during the commencements - not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it.

The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families.

The speeches were nice, but they were routine ... until the final speech received a standing ovation.

A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then, it happened. All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!

The student on stage simply looked at the audience and said, “God bless you” and walked off stage.

The audience exploded into applause. This graduating class had found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on their future with or without the court's approval.
I have no idea whether this is true or not, but I hope it is, for it shows an ingenuity that this country will sorely need in the decades to come.
FISKING THE WASHINGTON POST’S pseudo-apology for bogus claims of Tea Party racism.

I would only add that the Post’s Colbert I. King has not only not apologized for his hate-filled diatribes, he doubled down.
OPEN THE DOOR and what do you get? ObamaCare, electrocution, and freezer cash. Your choice.
IS ANYONE KEEPING TRACK of Tea Party wins? I’d put the minimum at three four: Dede Scozzafava’s loss in New York; Scott Brown’s win in Massachusetts; Bart Stupak’s decision to retire in Michigan, and soon-to-be-former Congressman Alan Grayson’s future loss in Florida. There are certainly others I’ve missed.
LIBERALISM RUN AMUCK: “The Maine Human Rights Commission is taking heat over a controversial proposal to ban schools from enforcing gender divisions in sports teams, school organizations, bathrooms and locker rooms. It says forcing a student into a particular room or group because of his or her biological gender amounts to discrimination.”

This is what happens when the asylum is turned over to the inmates.
“I GUESS they really do know how to fish in Alaska.” Yep. Put a juicy bait out, wait for the strike, and reel ‘em in.
