UPDATE #2:  Progressive Insurance Joins the Ad Boycott of Laura Ingraham's Show
No, Flo! Say it ain't so!  Well, it is called "Progressive", I guess.

Nor is he going to win on his personally motivated boycott against Ingraham, who has been classy and contrite.  Already a counter-boycott, called #IStandWithLaura, has been launched, targeted at the advertisers Hogg got to jump through his hoops.

Will Hogg ask us to boycott the colleges that rejected him?

Monica Showalter  "Laura Ingraham apologized for a rude tweet about David Hogg's inability to get into the college of his choice, and, as may be expected of someone who's demonstrated both childishness and leftism, he refused to graciously accept, opportunistically coming up instead with a counter-demand for more apologies on unrelated matters, ahead of yet another counter-demand for more groveling if Ingraham were to be naïve enough to follow that, which I trust she won't.

"It was done with Hogg's full knowledge that his "friend ("asking for a friend"), who "wanted" and probably came up with the swift list of Ingraham's advertisers, had begun pulling ads from Ingraham's Fox News show.  At least a dozen of them pulled out in a show of solidarity for Hogg's hurt feelings over his inability to get into the college of his choice.

"The immaturity shown here sends a signal now to the public as to why he otherwise inexplicably didn't get into the college of his choice.  Can you see how this guy would act if he didn't get the grade of his choice from his professor at one of these places if he somehow were to be allowed in?  What if he didn't get the girlfriend of his choice, or the dorm of his choice, or the honors roll of his choice, or the school paper's editor job?  It would be logical to infer that he'd be out calling for boycotts of the school from the school's donors if he didn't get the whatever of his choice.  How much easier it would be to just grow up and be a man about the whole thing, starting with the admissions rejections.  It might impress a few admissions committees." . . .

Stand for Laura Ingraham and a Free Press    
"Adult sponsors of companies sign on to bullying a conservative commentator off the air."
"Hogg, who has made extensive use of his First Amendment free speech rights, immediately turns around and demands that a free press that displeases him — Ingraham’s Fox News show — be “boycotted” by advertisers.
"Immediately the adults who sponsor Ingraham’s show stand up and do his bidding.
"Let’s start with this interesting story you won’t see anywhere else." . . .

Cal-ee-for-nya; pick your complaint

Sadly, President Trump Is Not the Inventor of Governor Brown's Latest Nickname   . . . "The line stems from Gov. Brown’s plan for a satellite over

California in 1976 when he was running for governor at the time. The idea was outrageous due to limitations in technology and cost. Still, the idea is ludicrous considering the extraordinary amount of debt California is in. But, back then a Chicago journalist decided to call Brown "Gov. Moonbeam" to highlight his far out there ideas.

From the LA Times: 

"In 1976, a Chicago newspaper columnist wrote that Jerry Brown would get "the moonbeam vote."

The writer was Mike Royko, who then started referring to the then-38-year-old Brown as "Gov. Moonbeam." Royko was suggesting that Brown was attracting California's New Age crowd. 

Brown was a strong supporter of space exploration and many of the earliest statewide green initiatives. Yet he also gained a reputation as a fiscal conservative, refusing many perks that came with the governorship. . . .

Restaurant workers tell A-listers to shove it after call for higher wages

NY Post

"Sarah Jessica Parker, Reese Witherspoon, Natalie Portman and more than a dozen other A-listers were told to shove it by 500 restaurant workers in New York who signed an open letter to the actresses.

"The missive is a response to a letter that the Hollywood elites sent to Gov. Cuomo asking him to raise the minimum wage for tipped workers.

“ 'You’ve been misled that we earn less than minimum wage and that we’re somehow helpless victims of sexual harassment,” the restaurants’ workers said in their letter, which was organized by Maggie Raczynski, an Outback Steakhouse bartender in Clifton Park, NY. “Thank you for your concern. But we don’t need your help and we’re not asking to be saved,” they wrote.

"Cuomo is considering raising the minimum wage for tipped workers, which is as much as $8.65 in the city for restaurant workers, to be equal to the regular minimum wage, which is rising to $15 by 2020.

“ 'The cost of food is going to go up and the number of servers is going to go down,” Raczynski told The Post."

Heavens to Betsy, Hillary, Just Zip It Already

"Failed Presidential candidate and former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton is back in the news. Not because she has done anything worthwhile, per say, but because she keeps making ludicrous comments about perceived unfair treatment because she is a woman. 

"Speaking at Rutgers University, where by the way she was paid less money than the illustrious Snooki from the hit show The Jersey Shore, Sec. Clinton lashed out critics who tell her to be quiet. 

From MSN: "I was really struck by how people said that to me - you know, mostly people in the press, for whatever reason - mostly, 'Go away, go away,'" Clinton said Thursday during an event at Rutgers University. "And I had one of the young people who works for me go back and do a bit of research. They never said that to any man who was not elected. I was kind of struck by that," Clinton said. Clinton's remarks came in response to a question from Eagleton Institute of Politics' director Ruth Mandel about the former Democratic presidential nominee's reaction to those who say she should "get off the public stage and shut up." "I'm really glad that, you know, Al Gore didn't stop talking about climate change," Clinton said to applause. "And I'm really glad John Kerry went to the Senate and became an excellent secretary of State," the former first lady continued. "And I'm really glad John McCain kept speaking out and standing up and saying what he had to say. And for heavens sakes, Mitt Romney is running for the Senate," Clinton said. 

"Of course, a simple Google search would show this to be anything but true."

Plus Al Gore promulgated his bitterness for some time.

Happy Easter

"If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then Christianity would be a false religion, we would have no hope, our loved ones would be gone for good, and we would still be in our sins. I appreciate Philip Schaff’s summary on the importance of the Resurrection based on Paul’s words:

"The Christian church rests on the resurrection of its Founder. Without this fact the church could never have been born, or if born, it would soon have died a natural death. The miracle of the resurrection and the existence of Christianity are so closely connected that they must stand or fall together. If Christ was raised from the dead, then all his other miracles are sure, and our faith is impregnable; if he was not raised, he died in vain and our faith is vain. It was only his resurrection that made his death available for our atonement, justification and salvation; without the resurrection, his death would be the grave of our hopes; we should be still unredeemed and under the power of our sins. A gospel of a dead Saviour would be a contradiction and wretched delusion. This is the reasoning of St. Paul, and its force is irresistible.
"The resurrection of Christ is therefore emphatically a test question upon which depends the truth or falsehood of the Christian religion. It is either the greatest miracle or the greatest delusion which history records." . . .
