Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he’s Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don’t get the same praise.

Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. • Taking a swipe at the “Linsanity” that’s cropped up in the past week, when NBA player Jeremy Lin, one of the few Asian-American players the league has ever head (he’s Taiwanese), had a bout of overnight success. Mayweather, as you might guess, faced criticism for his comments, which he later defended: ”Other countries get to support/cheer their athletes and everything is fine,” he said. “As soon as I support black American athletes, I get criticized.” Seems like someone might’ve missed the point.

“She is the most feminine woman I know until the fighting starts — then she is like five men,” a colleague in the French resistance once said. (via Nancy Wake, ‘White Mouse’ of World War II, dies at 98 - The Washington Post)
The reaction to the Night Witches made me wonder if folks knew the amazing story of Nancy Wake, “the White Mouse.”  She passed on very recently and the WaPo published an incredible piece on her — linked here.  

Kelly Sue finds awesome stuff on the Internets.

somebody pass this along to rick santorum.

Mississippi Bill Changes Name of ‘Gulf of Mexico’ to ‘Gulf of America’

Considering that Mexico is part of America (not USA, but the continent) I would say this actually makes sense.

Best freudian slip ever. 

Far too good to pass up. Bravo.

I thought we all knew by now that this was a fake?

Our original desire was to fulfill our fiduciary duty to our donors by not funding grant applications made by organizations under investigation. We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political. That is what is right and fair.

In an official statement, Susan G. Komen For The Cure has amended it’s previous decision to change their criteria for making grants, one that would have halted its funding to Planned Parenthood. The group will “amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political” and thus continue to fund PP.

Pretty funny considering just yesterday they were saying it had nothing to do with investigations but that PP didn’t directly provide the mammograms.

Too late - I’ll never give them another penny.

Jamie Lynn Spears was 'scared' to get birth control

today:

“I was on a Nickelodeon show, and it felt especially embarrassing to ask someone to put me on birth control …”

$5 and a WalMart would have protected her just as well as pills and a doctor.
