The NBA - a flippin' sports league, for cryin' out loud - has launched a green initiative.
In one of his last acts as SecDef, Leon Panetta removes the last barriers to women serving in direct combat roles.
The regime's propaganda arm is calling the H-word Creature's appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee "charming and combative" and "vigorous and fired up."
North Korea will conduct a third nuclear weapon test, calling it a "new phase of the anti-US struggle."
An 11-year old "transgendered" "girl" has written an essay in response to the Most Equal Comrade's inaugural address, and it's getting a fair amount of Internet coverage. "Sadie" "transitioned" when she was 6.
Her mother's statement of support is a ripe example of therapy-speak indeed:
Sage says she encouraged Sadie to write the essay because she thought "it might help empower her and overcome any feelings of oppression." In the end she says that she wants Sadie "to know that she has a voice. My dream for her is that she will be happy. That's all, really. I just want her to be happy."
Consider the thought experiment of taking a rundown of headlines like this back in time to, say, ten years ago. Thirty. (That would have been the Dutch era. Really hard to imagine that kind of wackiness going down then.) Fifty years ago? Forget about it.
And consider this: There are fewer and fewer situations in which one is communicating with one's fellow human beings in which you'd be certain it wasn't inappropriate to opine, "That's just plain weird."
I just plain don't recognize my country anymore.
