Spartans drill Valparaiso, Tom Izzo ties Jud Heathcote for Michigan State win mark
"With No. 2 Michigan State's 90-60 victory over Valparaiso in the second round of the Legends Classic, Tom Izzo tied his predecessor and mentor Jud Heathcote for the most wins in school history with 340.
Immediately after the game, Izzo was headed to Kansas City to present Heathcote for the latter's induction into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.
'I swear I didn't know exactly what number until (former MSU coach and MSU radio analyst Gus Ganakas) brought it to my attention this morning,' Izzo said. 'It means I'll probably go down there and get chewed out for it (by Heathcote)."

Palinophobes Hate First, Ask Questions Later
Palinophobes Hate First, Ask Questions Later
"Slate magazine is just one of the countless media outlets convulsing with St. Vitus’ Dance over that demonic succubus Sarah Palin.
In its reader forum, The Fray, one supposed Palinophobe took dead aim at the former Alaska governor’s writing chops, excerpting the following sentence from her book:
“The apartment was small, with slanting floors and irregular heat and a buzzer downstairs that didn’t work, so that visitors had to call ahead from a pay phone at the corner gas station, where a black Doberman the size of a wolf paced through the night in vigilant patrol, its jaws clamped around an empty beer bottle.”
Other readers pounced like wolf-sized Dobermans on an intruder.
One guffawed, “That sentence by Sarah Palin could be entered into the annual Bulwer-Lytton bad writing contest. It could have a chance at winning a (sic) honorable mention, at any rate.
But soon, the original contributor confessed: “I probably should have mentioned that the sentence quoted above was not written by Sarah Palin. It’s taken from the first paragraph of ‘Dreams From My Father,’ written by Barack Obama.”
The ruse should have been allowed to fester longer, but the point was made nonetheless: Some people hate Palin first and ask questions later.”

My Way News - AP IMPACT: Some lawmakers send few to academies
But Rep. Nydia Velazquez of New York City, chairwoman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, nominated only four students, the lowest among House members who served the entire five-year period. Rep. Charles Rangel, whose New York City district includes Harlem, was second-lowest, with eight nominations. And House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose San Francisco district is 29 percent Asian, was also near the bottom, with 19.
In fact, the bottom 20 House members were all from districts where whites make up less than a majority.
"It's beyond my imagination how someone that has the ability to nominate doesn't do it," Craig Duchossois said last December at his final meeting as chairman of the Naval Academy's Board of Visitors.
He noted what an academy appointment means: a free four-year education and a guaranteed job as an officer for at least five years after graduation.

Global Warming’s ‘Blue Dress’ Moment?
Global Warming’s ‘Blue Dress’ Moment?
"I am not able to fully digest all of the relevant material just this moment, but check out what Anthony Watts at “Watts Up With That” among others have posted.
Anthony is a meteorologist who blew the lid on the scandalous placement of official U.S. government thermometers – even movement to — asphalt pads, Arizona parking lots, next to hot air vents, above barbecue grills, and so on with the convenient result of a warming bias.
I will put all of this in full context as more analysis of the revelations and their meaning emerge, but just know this was described to me as “the closest thing you’re ever going to come to a ’smoking gun.’”
If you’re not a global warming geek, the point of the material is that we have apparent — and I only say apparent at this point — written admissions of cooking the books, among other nastiness, by the leading names in the global warming alarmist movement.

Schools deliver 60 gift baskets to migrant families
Schools deliver 60 gift baskets to migrant families
"Rosa Becerra-Silva, the school district's migrant recruiter, plans to give holiday gift baskets to 60 migrant families. Donations of money, turkeys, or nonperishable items and toiletries are needed for the food basket program, in its sixth year.
The families are seasonal workers who live in migrant housing from mid-February to November and have chosen to stay, usually with family members, during the winter. The number of migrant families staying year-round in the district has increased since Becerra-Silva started the program.
'The count keeps going up,' she said. 'As kids get older, (families) are choosing to stay here until they finish high school and some of them can't afford to move with the economy being the way it is."
So do I get this right?
The taxpayers pay for a "school district migrant recruiter" whose job includes organizing the raising of money and delivering "gift baskets" to non-Americans.
And most, if not all of whom are here illegally?
So we pay to recruit illegals?
Isn't there a law against this?
Aren't there an American citizen families in the county?
The "change we can believe in" is change I'd prefer to CHANGE back.

Your congressman's padded retirement plan
"After serving 18 years in Congress, former Rep. William Jefferson of Louisiana, a Democrat, will continue his service in a different federal institution -- prison.
He was sentenced recently to serve 13 years for bribery.
But his fellow prisoners will have to forgive Jefferson if he grins and whistles as he stamps out license plates.
That's because he is still eligible for a guaranteed $50,000 pension in his first year of retirement, which will increase each year thereafter with the cost of living"

The $100 Million Health Care Vote?
The $100 Million Health Care Vote?
"What does it take to get a wavering senator to vote for health care reform?
Here’s a case study.
On page 432 of the Reid bill, there is a section increasing federal Medicaid subsidies for “certain states recovering from a major disaster.”
The section spends two pages defining which “states” would qualify, saying, among other things, that it would be states that “during the preceding 7 fiscal years” have been declared a “major disaster area.”
I am told the section applies to exactly one state: Louisiana, the home of moderate Democrat Mary Landrieu, who has been playing hard to get on the health care bill.
In other words, the bill spends two pages describing would could be written with a single world: Louisiana. (This may also help explain why the bill is long.)
Senator Harry Reid, who drafted the bill, cannot pass it without the support of Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu.
How much does it cost? According to the Congressional Budget Office: $100 million."

"The truth about Obama’s much-ballyhooed job creation is that more than half of his alleged new jobs turn out to be government jobs.
Government jobs don’t count, Mr. President.
Remember, many things governments do actually drain us.
Jobs in the marketplace, on the other hand, serve real consumer demand, make us all better off.
They also help pay the taxes for those government jobs.
Employing more people in government means needing more real jobs to pay for the government ones."
