Stephanopoulos: "I did it...for the children"

Richly
Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband made at least $30 million over the last 16 months, mainly from giving paid speeches to corporations, banks and other organizations, according to financial disclosure forms filed with federal elections officials on Friday. (New York Times, 5/16/2015)

This will pose absolutely no problem for Hillary Clinton. Rich Democrats are just fine. John Kerry can run for president and the Liberal Media will never discuss his wealth - not even the fact that he married into it. But Mitt Romney's wealth was THE story of the last election. By the way, we note that Romney's former employer, Bain Capital, hired former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick, President Obama's bestest buddy. Now why didn't we hear more about that?


Bagged
Across the country, law enforcement agencies long accustomed to seizures of bagged, smokable marijuana are now wrestling with a surge in marijuana-infused snacks and confections transported illegally across state lines for resale.

Pot edibles, as they are called, can be much easier to smuggle than marijuana buds: They may resemble candy or home-baked goodies, and often have no telltale smell. And few police officers are trained to think of gummy bears, mints or neon-colored drinks as potential dope.

Some experts worry that smuggled pot edibles will appeal to many consumers, particularly adolescents, who are ill prepared for the deceptively slow high. Impatient novices can easily eat too much too fast, suffering anxiety attacks and symptoms resembling psychosis. Already, young children have eaten laced sweets left within reach.

Coming soon to Vermont!

Progressives here are now thinking to themselves: just think of the revenue we can raise via taxes on edible marijuana!


Person of the Day
Peggy Fahey, a lifelong Bostonian who was sipping coffee on a park bench in South Boston early Saturday, said she believed that Mr. Tsarnaev had been treated too gently since his arrest and that death was what he irrefutably deserved.

“Oh, please, let him die. Enough is enough,” said Ms. Fahey, 78, her blue eyes blazing. “Why send him to a fancy prison out there in Colorado and let him be coddled again and let him be interviewed by Diane Sawyer — you know what I mean? Just be done with it.” (New York Times, 5/17/2015)

Great Moments in Liberal Journalism
In 2007, in public, he ( George Stephanopoulos)  asked Clinton if he might someday be remembered as “a philanthropist who happened to be president. You OK with that?”

Well, I suppose it’s better than being remembered as an accused rapist who happened to be president. (Howie Carr, Bostonherald.com, 517/2015)

Heartfelt thanks to the wonderful Howie Carr for reminding us of this moment of pure obsequiousness from ABC's unbiased and impartial newsman.
