MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry recently claimed that “Obamacare” is a derogatory term coined by “wealthy white men.”
With that in mind, comedian Stephen Kruiser decided to alert Perry to an entity using the offending term:

Your move, Ms. Harris-Perry.

A demonstration in a park in Istanbul, Turkey, escalated quickly as police moved in to clear out the protesters.
Reuters reports that tourists are among the hundred-plus injured:
Turkish police fired tear gas and water cannon on Friday at protesters occupying a park in central Istanbul, wounding scores including tourists in the harshest crackdown so far on days of anti-government unrest.
The protest at Gezi Park started late on Monday after developers tore up trees but has widened into a broader demonstration against Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP).
Friday’s violence erupted after a dawn police raid on demonstrators who had camped for days in the park in anger at plans to build a shopping mall. Clouds of tear gas rose around the area in Taksim Square, long a venue for political protest.

As President Obama stumbles to find a technique to deal with ISIS and Islamist extremists take over the U.S. embassy in Libya, lots of people are taking the time to consider the horrifying Beslan college siege, which Michelle Malkin during the time rightly labeled as Russia’s 9/11.
A decade ago today, Chechen jihadists stormed a school and took significantly more than 1,100 hostages. The siege lasted three days, and more than 300 eventually passed away in the massacre, including 186 younger students.
Many marked the anniversary of this assault by publishing pictures and other remembrances.
