With Christie or Rubio as his running mate, if I had to guess. And why not?  I mean, it’s not like if you put your ear to the ground and listen attentively you can’t here the slow, steadily-building swell for yet another Bush in the White House — particularly when we finally have the right one this time, a man not tainted with a Reagan connection, one not responsible for

Andy McCarthy, who claims to know a thing or two about the Muslim Brotherhood, seems displeased.  Which is odd, given that I’ve read bloggers praising the strategery of such a masterful willingness to arm the Brotherhood in order to, you know, really keep an eye on them and have a say in what they do going forward.  Having essentially put them into power in the first place.  Presumably to keep

From a commenter on the Denver Post write up:  “Just as well.

Those black lines

And just so you know it isn’t all gloom and doom around here:  a haiku, offered happily: My military- style assault rifle’s pregnant! Molon Labe, bitches.

The House is said to working on behind-the-scenes secret “immigration reform”; the Senate is about to green-light gun-control measures (a cap on mag capacity, entirely unenforcible “universal background checks,” if I had to guess — which will later be added to a vaguely worded sense of the Senate resolution by Reid, with his controlling the process, giving cover to vulnerable Senators), with perhaps a few Republicans breaking ranks and yielding
