There's plenty of hypocrisy to go around in the furor over Indiana's new religious freedom law. Columnist George Will took Apple CEO Tim Cook to task for cricizing the law on grounds it discriminates against LGBT individuals. He pointed out that Cook does business with Saudi Arabia, which persecutes people for being gay.

School children across the country won't eat the "healthy" school lunch meals pushed by First Lady Michelle Obama. So what becomes of the unwanted food? In Rio Rancho, N.M., the Galloping Grace Youth Ranch is collecting around five tons a week of fruits and vegetables thrown away at schools in the area. It is fed to pigs and other farm animals. So far no protests have been registered.

Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., took a firm position in favor of fast food and beer, tweeting that newspaper stories about McDonald's and Miller Coors "deserve the front page." Her strong stand lasted only 34 seconds, however. An aide quickly deleted the post from her Twitter account.
