In Other News: Nerf Guns are Dangerous, and Gardening is Racist    Michael Schaus | Aug 08, 2014

Here are some other highlights and headlines that I noticed over at Ransom Notes Radio:
E-mails from a key Obamacare architect have now gone missing… Just a reminder: Nixon was forced to resign over a few minutes of missing tape.
(Fox News)
Let’s see: Iraqi Christians are surrounded by blood-thirsty Islamists; Israel is still trying to negotiate peace with Hamas; Russia is accelerating its actions in Eastern Ukraine; there’s an Ebola epidemic in Africa; and our borders are less secure than John Kerry’s masculinity… It sounds like a perfect time to take a Martha’s Vineyard vacation.
(Breitbart)
Occasionally, liberals manage to completely blow my mind. According to this brain scientist (or rocket surgeon) on the left, the border crisis is happening because conservatives spank their children… The mind reels.
(Weasel Zippers)
Dr. Ben Pitcher, a senior lecturer in sociology at the University of Westminster, says that a local British radio show on gardening is racist. Apparently, discussions on soil purity and non-native species promote “nationalist and fascist beliefs.” I guess I never realized how terribly insensitive horticulture can be.

This kid was suspended because he brought a toy Nerf gun to school. Thank god… Just imagine the carnage he could have done with a dozen foam darts. We should probably look at registration requirements and dart-capacity limits on these toys as well.
