In Other News: Pollution is (Apparently) Racist

Here are some other highlights and headlines that I noticed over at Ransom Notes Radio:

• Sharpton and company want to meet with the NBA to discuss ways the organization can increase diversity. (Because the obvious problem with Basketball is the clear lack of minority involvement.) They are also expected to discuss ways the organization can ensure that referees have an equal amount of black and white stripes on their uniforms. (weaselzippers.us)
• According to the EPA, polluting is racist. So if you own a SUV, your complimentary white robes and pointy hood will be shipped to you shortly. (They will be organic cotton, of course.) (breitbart.com
• Vulnerable Democrats are backing a move in the Senate to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline. And let’s face it: Dems are so worried about the Senate’s prospects in 2014, that they’d probably support a plan to club baby polar bears if they thought it would get them reelected. (foxnews.com)
• The media is calling this a “botched” execution… Which is fairly misleading, given that the guy still died. I guess I never realized how heavily “style” was weighted in modern-day executions. (foxnews.com)
• The Democrats are still pushing minimum wage… because it’s easier than actually fixing the economy. (cbsnews.com)
