What Was The Basis For The Court Order?

So I read this AP piece twice, which if one is to believe the headline, was all about the restraining order against the city to prevent them from removing the Obamaville in Zuccotti Park, and nowhere in it could I find out what the basis was for the order. Well, I guess the reason that it isn’t mentioned is that there isn’t one, and the leftist loon former-ACLU-lawyer judge who signed it has been tossed off the case.

The cities coordinated the crackdown. And I’m sure this is just a coincidence: “…this succession of police raids started after President Obama left the US for an extended tour of the Pacific Rim.”

Did I Get Results?

Remember this post about the headline on Ken Chang’s story about the ISS flight? Well, the story’s been republished with a different headline. Note the fine print at the bottom: “A version of this article appeared in print on November 13, 2011, on page A6 of the New York edition with the headline: NASA Hitches a Ride on a Russian Craft, and Begins a New Dependent Phase.”

What? They changed it back to the original headline? I didn’t get a screen shot, but I swear (as Clark’s link says) when I first saw it this morning, the headline was “NASA and Russia Begin New Chapter in Space.”

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah

Iowahawk is off to Camp Obama:

We are saving
This whole nation
With some squad car
Defecation
We went marching
in Zucotti
And got applauded by the Nazi Party

There’s a raping
Every day now
Some are straight and
Some are gay now
Latest outbreak
Dysentery
In the food tent over by the Ben & Jerry’s

As he says, with apologies to Allan Sherman.
