Because saying “we lied, and it worked, and now we control just about every aspect of the progressive plan to ‘de-grow’ the private sector,” is just a bit too candid. CNS NEWS: Seven months after being subpoenaed by Congress, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy conceded that her agency does not have – and cannot produce – all of the scientific data used for decades to justify numerous rules

“Suit against Wisconsin ‘John Doe’ star chamber investigators can move forward”
Keep an eye on this one. Because from a legal perspective, this is a no-brainer: what we had in Wisconsin were Soviet-style investigations, intimidation, and prosecution, with the targets forcibly gagged under penalty of punishment. The question is, how will the courts ultimately resolve what is, in fact, an actual civil rights suit — not of the kind brought by racial charlatans like Al Sharpton or La Raza or the

“Food Stamp Recipients Outnumber Women Who Work Full-Time”
Utopia is just around the corner! People participating in the food stamp program outnumbered the women who worked full-time, year-round in the United States in 2012, according to data from the Department of Agriculture and the Census Bureau. In the average month of 2012, according to the Department of Agriculture, there were 46,609,000 people participating in the food stamp program (formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). That contrasts

“Do liberals really think an 80% top tax rate wouldn’t hurt the US economy?”
Wait, is this a trick question? Because my gut says, “uh, of course they don’t. Or rather, they don’t much care, as long as they can continue to write the tax laws that keep them flush — and then claim they’ve helped solve “income inequality,” as if all incomes should be the same, despite the amount of work, the kind of work, or the desire of the good or service.

“Judge to Ohio: Recognize out-of-state gay marriage”
Federalism is dead. Sure, it’s there in the Constitution, but since marriage (and just about every other “noble cause”) has been re-defined as a civil right, the entirety of the 10th amendment is now effectively and functionally moot. Washington Examiner: A federal judge has ordered Ohio authorities to recognize the marriages of gay couples performed in other states. Judge Timothy Black’s ruling on Monday criticized the state’s “ongoing arbitrary discrimination

Fox News’ Greta eats Democrat Mike Dickinson’s lunch [Darleen Click]
… and drinks his milkshake, too. It was really an unfair fight, Greta was having too much fun there with the Larry Flynt lackey. And, the unctuous Dickinson has been so busy trolling Conservatives, he forgot to file his papers to run for the Democratic nomination. Classic.

“Voters who want to vote should be able to vote. Period.” [Darleen Click]
In all his glorious fraudhood, Obama, in the White House for five years, still stumps as if he and the rest of the Democrat authoritarians are Washington outsiders. Speaking at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention on Friday in New York City, President Barack Obama revealed that he believes voter fraud does not exist, everyone who wants to should be able to vote, even if they cannot provide identifying documentation,

The American Left and commie kitsch [Darleen Click]
Via The Week comes a second look at a rather toe-sucking cover piece on Obama’s execrable press secretary, Jay Carney, and his family from Washingtonian Mom. The article includes photos staged in the Carney home, and leads off with this: Now the over-the-top spread of food on the counters does point to a cheekiness on the part of the photographers (the rest of the photos in the piece confirm it).

“NSA said to have used Heartbleed bug and left consumers exposed”
But hey, more data mining, more consolidation of erstwhile private information by the state, more centralization of society through federal agencies and a runaway, post-Constitutional federal government = Utopia. Because they say so, is why. Consider this another one of those minor bumps in the road to leftist paradise. Which, if you use stimulus money wisely, can pave right over the bones of dead liberty without even leaving a trace.
