Killer tornadoes should start spinning up for their annual bout of destruction tomorrow, after an unusually pokey start of so-called “preliminary tornadoes”:
“This is the slowest start certainly since 2000. 2010 had a count of 65 through March.”
There were just 35 preliminary tornadoes in March this year.

District of Columbia Congressional Delegate (whatever that is) Eleanor Holmes Norton demonstrates how not to diagonal-park. Geometry-challenged, maybe?
Or maybe it was the white lines that threw her off, eh? Although you’ll notice her young aide is white. And why is that, you might ask? Is there a scarcity of black ones?
It is lovely that the Internet (so far) allows us to see such clown shows which, as recently as the early 1990s, the snooze media would have kept to itself.

They’re certainly not for the Hildabeast, and her lapdog news media is too busy licking her shoes to notice. Which is good for her, ’cause she has a lot to hide.
“’After seeking and receiving a two week extension from the Committee, Secretary Clinton failed to provide a single new document to the subpoena issued by the Committee and refused to provide her private server to the Inspector General for the State Department or any other independent arbiter for analysis,’ Representative Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.), the chairman of the select committee investigating the [Benghazi] attacks, announced Friday evening.”
Now we’ll see if the GOP has the nutmegs to find her in contempt of Congress. For starters. Don’t hold your breath. Nixon would be so envious.
Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens could not be reached for comment.

UPDATE: The government many of us find dysfunctional works wonderfully well for Friends of Bill & Hill. It’s all about who you know.

Once the Democrat news media gets hold of a narrative, they will not only never let it go, they will tend to err in favor of it. However stupid it makes them look. And, of course, seldom, if ever, apologize afterwards.
Et tu, George Zimmerman? Slayer in self-defense of thug-and-drug-boy Trayvon. The son our Barry Hussein would have had if he’d had a son? Which makes a whole lot more sense now that we know ol’ Bare the law-breaker so much better.

The racist Democrat operatives of the news media already are on your case, not even 24 hours after you announced for president. You’ve already become NPR’s “white hispanic,” second to George Zimmerman, killer (in self defense) of the thug Trayvon.
What amazes me is how many Hispanics let them get away with this. Not every Hispanic is brown, as some of the whiter ones will quickly remind you. And they’re white because their ancestry is full-blood Spanish. No Indio.
But it won’t bother Ted. He’ll just use it against the Democrats. He may not win the nomination but it will be fun watching him kick ass trying. Go get ’em, Ted.

UPDATE: Althouse: “This is a truly powerful speech. Just brilliant.” The thing about Ted, for those who don’t like him, is that he offers one of the very few chances we have left to stop the continual growth (and intrusiveness) of the federal government.
MORE: The daily called the speech a “pitch,” the headline writer unable to control his politics. No surprise there.
AND: To the New Yorker, Ted’s an “uppity loudmouth.” Well, he is a Texas senator. Swagger comes with the job. And the guaranteed disdain of NYC leftists.

“The Serbian government asked people on Tuesday not to dispose of hand grenades and other munitions in the garbage, hoping to minimize accidents as it imposes tighter controls over privately held weapons.”
And to think that, if it wasn’t for Mrs. Charm, I wouldn’t even bother to recycle.

Leave it to the police chief of leftist Madison, Wisconsin, to come up with dishonest excuse for the latest police killing of an unarmed young man, as troublesome as half-black Tony Robinson may have been beforehand:
“Given the ever-increasing violent nature of our society, we train diligently on the use of force. A plethora of time is given to non-lethal alternatives and tools. Deadly force training include countless reps of disengagement, movement, distance, and cover.
“Furthermore, we incorporate numerous training exercises where the outcome is predicated on ‘no shoot’ outcomes…While we are always looking to adopt best practices in how use of force outcomes can be improved, we will not be departing from the same standards that govern police use of force across this state (and country). . . ”
Despite the lowest violent crime rates in decades country-wide. Miriam Carey could not be reached for comment.
