The San Francisco Giants announced nights this year honoring Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, Irish and Filipino heritage. The ballpark will be jammed each night with one ethnic group in attendance. It is so segregated that the local Democrats will be wearing throwback jerseys.

The Chicago Auto Show got underway Thursday with Ford’s new Mustang Shelby showing off its six hundred and fifty horsepower engine. In only one way is the car environmentally correct. The Shelby doesn’t run on gas, it runs on ground-up Chevy Volts.

Pennsylvania’s Shippensburg College is selling morning-after birth control pills from a vending machine. The machine offers morning-after pills, condoms, cold medicine and candy. With a pull of the lever you can make love, make meth or lure a minor into your car.

L.A. County Supervisors imposed a one thousand dollar fine for throwing a Frisbee or a football on a beach in Southern California. You also can’t drink, smoke or walk your dog. They’re trying to send a clear message to the public that beaches are for drug running.

Homeland Security rolled out a new airport security pre-check program Wednesday for frequent flyers. You can breeze through airport security as long as the TSA has all your personal details. If you submit an Internet video sex tape, that’s good enough for them.

The White House was slammed by Catholic bishops Thursday for forcing the church to provide contraception in its health plans.
