This place is so totally fucked. I think I’m going to call it a day and go get me some Dairy Queen. While such a thing is still even possible.

A thorough rebuke to the anti-gun emos: Barry Snell, “This is my final column for the Iowa State Daily”
And he goes out with a bang, not a whimper, “Waking the dragon — How Feinstein fiddled while America burned”: In the gun debate, I’ve discovered that one cannot be expert enough about guns. Indeed, when it comes to the gun issue, opinion rules. There doesn’t seem to be any opportunity for any genuine, honest debate on guns, and even liberals would agree with that. I’ve often wondered about this

Why Bill Richardson is correct
Much is being made of Bill Richardson’s candid statement that Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a conservative and TEA Party favorite, shouldn’t be “defined as an Hispanic” — his positions on many issues having deviated, by Richardson’s lights, from the standard (and ascendant) identity narrative for “Hispanic authenticity,” which creates in Cruz a man of Hispanic heritage and blood who, because his politics don’t follow a particular progressive policy prescription, can’t

Half-white dude, Bill Richardson says half-Cuban Ted Cruz is not Hispanic [Darleen Click]
Cruz is just some tea-baggin’, H8ty h8tr from Texas When asked about Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, [Former New Mexico Gov. Bill] Richardson expressed his distaste for the senator. “I’m not a fan. I know [Ted Cruz is] sort of the Republican latest flavor. He’s articulate. He seems to be charismatic, but I don’t like his politics. I think he introduces a measure of incivility in the political process. Insulting people

“Victorious H.S. relay team banned from state meet after religious celebration”
Deemed “excessive” and cause for disqualification? Pointing to the sky. Too bad. Had the anchor broken the tape and kissed another dude full on the mouth, he probably would have gotten a congratulatory call from the President.

“That Crazy Benghazi Conspiracy Theory? It Just Got a Lot Less Crazy”
I think many of us who’ve been refusing to let the Benghazi story go have had nagging questions from the get-go about the way the consulate was approached by terrorists (without the heavier fire power they were later to employ against the CIA) and the way the Ambassador was killed — with several stories pointing out that Libyans were actively trying to save him, as (supposedly) evidenced by cell phone

“It is clear that senior administration officials engaged in a wholesale rewriting of intelligence assessments about Benghazi in order to mislead the public.” [Darleen Click]
Most honest, transparent administration EVAH! Within hours of the initial attack on the U.S. facility, the State Department Operations Center sent out two alerts. The first, at 4:05 p.m. (all times are Eastern Daylight Time), indicated that the compound was under attack; the second, at 6:08 p.m., indicated that Ansar al Sharia, an al Qaeda-linked terrorist group operating in Libya, had claimed credit for the attack. According to the House

Never underestimate the depth of Left-liberal anti-religious bigotry [Darleen Click]
Piers Morgan and ilk laughing, mocking and denigrating Mitt Romney as a “religious fanatic” for quoting from Psalms in a commencement speech at University of Southern Virginia, where the students are 92% Mormon. Maeve Reston opines that Romney didn’t connect with Single Women(tm) because he’s just so “into his marriage and kids”. How icky is that! Unless it is Obama, the Family Man, of course.
