UNION, N.J. — Former Gov. James E. McGreevey is teaching ethics, law and leadership at Kean University.

The Star-Ledger of Newark reported the nation’s first openly gay governor earns $17,500 and has been an executive in residence since Nov. 1.

When he was in office, McGreevey was often criticized for the appearance of ethical lapses.

Is this some one’s idea of a joke?

Wanted: A Culture of Self-Defense
Enough is enough.
By Michelle Malkin

Enough is enough, indeed. Enough of intellectual disarmament. Enough of physical disarmament. You want a safer campus? It begins with renewing a culture of self-defense—mind, spirit, and body. It begins with two words: Fight back.

Why are guns are the litmus issue?

Scratch a politician, hear what they say about guns, and you know EXACTLY where they stand on ALL liberty issues. Ask anyone that one question. You’ll know exactly how they stand on any other issue. Taxation, free speech, regulation, welfare, and on and on.

It’s the one question that “separates the men from the boys”.

Real men and women take responsibility for themselves. No “barbara streisand”. No excuses. No whining.

The children run to Mommy Gooferment and Father State to make all the bad bogeymen to go away.

A gun is not a talismen to prevent bad things from happening. Nor is it a magic wand to make all bad people to run away and hide. It doesn’t cure cancer, the common cold, or all the illnesses of the world.

Unrestricted gun ownership — with concealed or open carry — makes everyone safer! Sprinkle a few sheepdogs in the herd of sheep. And, then the bad guys are guessing.

It just seems so obvious to me!

LIBERTY: Cabbies to face fines for refusing fares

MN: Cabbies to face fines for refusing fares
Minneapolis Post-Bulletin

***Begin Quote***

“The operator of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Monday approved tougher penalties for cabdrivers who refuse service to travelers carrying alcohol — a policy that will affect hundreds of Muslim drivers. On a unanimous voice vote, the Metropolitan Airports Commission agreed to rules that will suspend a driver’s airport taxi license for 30 days the first time the driver refuses service and revokes the license for two years after the second violation. … Some Somalis who testified Monday urged commissioners to reject the new penalties and find some other solution. ‘We see this as a penalty against a group of Americans only for practicing their faith,’ said Hassan Mohamud, an imam — or Islamic religious leader — and an adjunct professor at William Mitchell College of Law.” (04/17/07)

The problem is the gooferment. Do we really need them at airports telling us which tax to take? Can’t we leave anything to the free market?
