Fox News’ supports diversity at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, as long as it is straight. Also/Too: Hannity and O’Reilly might be of Irish extraction.

• Free-market Solution! – South Dakota state Sen. Phil Jensen ® proposed legislation that would let companies discriminate against LGBT based on “sexual orientation.” He also believes that KKK-owned businesses should be allowed to not serve blacks. Why? because the Free Market would solve those problems, that’s why! Just like how The Free Market resolved slavery, eh Phil? (Raw Story)
• The Tom Perkins Effect – Ken Langone, a major GOP donor and billionaire founder of Home Depot has something to say to us, so listen up:
  

  “I hope [Populist Politics is] not working,” Langone told Politico, referring to populist political appeals. “Because if you go back to 1933, with different words, this is what Hitler was saying in Germany. You don’t survive as a society if you encourage and thrive on envy or jealousy.”

  Ah yes: “progressive Kristallnacht” because the dirty filthy hippies are known killers. (Livewire)

• Priorities – U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren and representatives Elijah Cummings and Maxine Waters are seeking an audience with US Attorney General Eric Holder “over a new watchdog report that said the FBI ranked mortgage fraud as a low threat after the height of the financial crisis, even though the Justice Department had said investigating that crime would be a top priority.”

  Which reminds me to ask again, has anyone held a mirror under Holder’s nose yet to see if he’s still breathing? (Raw Story)
