NYPD Confiscated Bikes on Obama Motorcade Route
"citing security concerns that bikes might be secret pipe bombs, NYPD officers clipped the locks of hundreds of bikes along Houston Street this morning in preparation for President Obama's speech at Cooper Union. The bikes were unceremoniously put in the back of the truck. Onlookers were not given information as to what would become of the bikes. Happy Earth Day!"

Archie comics to introduce openly gay character

I have no real opinion about the matter, but I'm sure some of you might with the injection of the LBGT agenda. Special thanks to The Four Color Media Monitor blog. (For those unfamiliar, it's a good conservative opining site about today's modern comics.)

Update: Our mod, sopdetly, via the Comments, poses a few essential questions:

No, but seriously. I'll ask it here because I trust y'all: What is this gay agenda I hear so much about, from your perspective? What exactly do you think all the gays are getting together and plotting?

And to be specific to the topic in the post, what about a long-running comic series suggests "GAY AGENDA" to you? Is it simply that they've put an openly gay character into the series? Is it that they're making a point to make sure everyone knows?

Fair questions all, so feel free to address them in your own comments, as well. As I type this, Mark Steyn is referencing this on Rush, now. How about that?

WaPo TV critic: Oh, why couldn't Joe Biden have insulted Elizabeth Hasselbeck on the View?

WaPo TV critic Lisa de Moraes is apparently taking from her colleague Tom Shales, bemoaning that Vice President Joe Biden didn't insult View co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck in his recent "View" guest appearance. Insert your own expression, as I have no words about this one.

This is a must-see:

We need more videos with this sort of production quality. It runs like a movie trailer - "The Story of How the United States Almost Destroyed Itself."

Anyway, I pledged >> http://remembernovember.com/

(Oh, and that BGM is really familiar...if anyone knows what it is, I'd appreciate it. Its going to bug me.)
