You can click on the photo gallery below to see a collection of crowded Chick-Fil-A restaurants on Aug 1. Americans are responding to a statement that Chick-Fil-A does not represent Chicago values, and efforts to prevent restaurants from being opened there and in Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and San Francisco.
All over the U.S. the 1600 Chick-Fil-A restaurants have been enjoying booming business, and even some referrals from competing fast food places, on this  Appreciation Day.

The place was packed despite school being in summer session, and massive construction occurring outside. The Tamminator, who believes in the First Amendment, sez: “Freedom is delicious!”

Kicking Someone in the Groin is Sexual Harrassment?

First-grader accused of sexual harassment – Metro – The Boston Globe.

Why do administrators of Tynan Elementary school classify a kick or punch in the groin as sexual harassment?  It seems entirely unrelated to sex, but maybe these people like the stuff that hurts.

The story?  Seven year old Mark Curran says that a another kid on the school  bus, had choked him, and stole his gloves.   He claims to have kicked the kid in the groin in response to the choking, because he couldn’t breathe.

Whether or not the  story is exactly as told,   Mark has a letter from the school saying that he violated codes of discipline related to sexual harassment and endangering the physical safety of another student, because of that strike to the groin.

Most schools,  including those Pharmer’s  kids attend, will punish those who defend themselves from assault.   The desired response is to take a beating, and then tell the administrators.   This of course ensures further beatings, since the administrators do not have the ability to provide protection.

Kids who are forced  to defend themselves need to make the effort really worth the punishment which will ensue.

Do your kids a favor and find a good Karate school for them.  Start early.  Pharmer’s kids have been at it for a decade or more.   So far,  their school years have been pretty peaceful.

PICKET: Obama’s illegal uncle arrested; ‘Uncle Omar’ almost hits cop car, tries to call White House – Washington Times.

Omar Obama Onyango has surfaced due to a brush with police and a DUI charge.    He apparently rolled through a stop sign and turned left, nearly causing collisions .  He also is said to have “nearly rammed” a police car and to have had a breathalyzer test result of 0.14 mg/dl.   The Washington Times article by Kerry Picket corrects other media reports which reported that Mr. Onyango actually collided with the police car.

Opon booking at the police station, ‘Uncle Omar’ was offered the opportunity to make a phone call.  “I think I will call the White House,” was his reply, according to Framington police Lieutenant Delaney.

Uncle Omar, who now calls himself Onyango Obama,  is mentioned in  Obama’s book “Dreams from My Father” as one of the relatives who had emigrated from Kenya to America and was never heard from again. He now faces possible deportation as an illegal immigrant, in addition to DUI charges.

The Australian reports that Auntie Zeituni’s lawyer, Margaret Wong, of Cleveland, will also defend Uncle Omar.

More is available at the Boston Herald, which says that although Uncle Omar is an illegal immigrant,  he has a valid social security number and driver’s license.
