Someone Captured Absolute Perfection In Manhattan Two Days Ago. I’m So Glad They Had A Camera.
New York is “The City That Never Sleeps” and, when you’re not getting a full eight hours of rest nightly, you end up seeing a lot of things. For better or for worse, if it exists, a New Yorker has seen it–and probably on the subway during the wee hours of the morning. Rainbows, though certainly not a common occurrence, are nothing new to NYC, so if a Manhattanite takes time out of their day to take a picture of one, you know you’re dealing with something special. And this picture of a rainbow, which Redditor cbarney took from her Midtown West balcony, is something special alright. Take a look!
Here it is!
Aaand that same view at night.
That was quick.
If, somehow, you still aren’t impressed, you should know that the picture was taken with an iPhone. I guess working with a magnificent meteorological phenomenon and The Greatest City in The World can make anyone look like a pro! Share this picture and watch even the most seasoned New Yorkers become awestruck.

Auckland Had A Stunning Sunset And Almost Shut Down Instagram
No filter necessary for this multicolour evening.
5. The sky was transformed into a glowing canvas of orange and yellow…
19. It’s doubtful there was anyone in the city who didn’t whip their phone out to take a photo.

Truck ploughs into crowd in France, many killed
President backs Planned Parenthood Day of Solidarity
The terrorist attack at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, Calif., that killed 14 has obviously taken over the cable news cycle, transformingthe shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs that killed 3 into a distant memory.
Planned Parenthood has designated Saturday a day of solidarity with the organization, and Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards is thankful to President Obama for signing on not that it would have taken a shooting to enlist his support. Interestingly, the president makes no mention of the need for common sensegun control, instead sticking closely to the Planned Parenthood script.
In fact, the whole statement sounds like a compilation of Planned Parenthood talking points, save the concluding paragraph, in which the president asks that God bless those we’ve lost something thattakes on a special meaning where Planned Parenthood is concerned.
Others remembered (or were reminded) that the narrative to be pushed was that“inflammatory rhetoric” from Republicans, Christians and pro-lifers was responsible for the shooting, even more so than the alleged shooter himself.
Is that Rep. Jan Schakowsky we see in that crowd?
If turnout wasn’t impressive for the Day of Solidarity, it’s only fair to admit there were justa few who made a valiant effort to hijack the #solidarity hashtag. Good work, though.

Race-baiting columnist blames failure of “All-American Muslim” on . . . well, you know
Leonard Pitts in the Wisconsin State Journal:
This is what Bill Cosby, Sidney Poitier, Diahann Carroll and Motown did for African-Americans. It is what Mary Tyler Moore and “Cagney and Lacey” did for feminist women. It is what Ellen DeGeneres, “Will and Grace” and “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” did for gays.
And, it is why no less an authority than Cosby himself has said he thinks the time is ripe for a Muslim Cosby Show. It is easy to hate “the blacks” as an abstract, but it becomes more difficult once you’ve been in “Cliff Huxtable’s” home and he’s made you laugh and you have recognized your family in his. No, that recognition is not a panacea for cultural animus. But it is a building block toward the recognition of common humanity, and that is no small thing.
So if “All American Muslim” was a failure, it was a noble one. With luck, it will not be long before someone else picks up the baton it has dropped. As the Florida Family Association experience makes clear, success will not be easy. But the hateful paranoia that makes such a thing difficult also makes it necessary.
“We thought we were white,” the man said. They know better now.
Dude, “Firefly” got cancelled.
That is the problem with propaganda, it isn’t very interesting. Negative propaganda can be entertaining, positive propaganda is stifling. All-American Muslim promotes Islam with weak reality show theatrics that are inferior in drama and entertainment value to the competition. It is so determined to promote its agenda that it utterly fails to be interesting.
With All-American Muslim’s fourth episode, Friday Night Bites, the show continues its obsession with making its women dress in the Imam approved fashion and with promoting the Islamic makeovers to general audiences. The birth of a child to one of the couples leads to a spotlighting of the Muslim call to prayer and the adventures of Fordson High School’s religiously cleansed team continues with more Ramadan than ever.
It would be a stretch to call any of this interesting. Watching All-American Muslim is like watching an extended commercial in which smiling people use a product and talk up its virtues, discussing it at length, in order to convince you to start using it. It’s no wonder that audiences are fleeing the show faster than infidels from the Middle East.
In short, “All-American Muslim” failed because it was about as compelling as Leonard Pitts.
Thanks to INVICTA103 who’s typo a while back, gave me a word I have since found much use for.

Boo-hoo: Eric Boehlert, Left can’t handle Kirsten Powers’ Obama truths
Boy, Eric Boehlert, you sure are tiresome. Fox News analyst (and Democrat) Kirsten Powers blasted Obama and his Fox-bashing today, while also likening the Steve Kroft lovefest interview to “state-run media.” Truth to power (or Powers), baby!
The real kind of truth to power … paging pitiful Van Jones! Perpetual whiner Eric Boehlert of Media Matters threw a little fit of snit, aimed at Powers and Fox News.

Bingo! Kirsten Powers needs no defending, however. She handles that admirably herself.
https://twitter.com/kirstenpowers10/status/295909285416820736
Beautiful.
Other Twitter libs whined: How dare Ms. Powers speak truth? Women aren’t allowed to leave the Democrat plantation, for cripes sake!
https://twitter.com/kirstenpowers10/status/295909999945867264
And, of course, “coded racism” enters the hateful mix.

Of course they don’t. Truth is far too hard.

Stay classy, Left. Maybe one day you’ll stop being so afraid of women who can think for themselves, too. Alas, we won’t hold our breath.
Update:
Rut-roh … Eric’s grumpy!
