“What isn’t government’s job nowadays?” [Darleen Click]
Yes, this is George Will, but he effectively starts the list of NannyState government actions (with also a hit on big-Government Republicans) and the driving hubris … “… the distilled essence of Progressivism is that government is a a) benign, that is, disinterested force — that’s false — and b) it is stocked with experts who are really gifted at doing things.” Ayn Rand described the “Aristocracy of Pull” wherein

Up is down. Black is white. Cop-killers give college commencement speeches [Darleen Click]
The Left-infected academia demonstrates yet again its moral degeneracy. A Vermont college’s selection of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal as commencement speaker is a “despicable” decision that should be reversed, his victim’s widow told FoxNews.com. Maureen Faulkner, whose husband Daniel was gunned down by Abu-Jamal in 1981, was shocked to learn of the selection by undergraduate students at tiny Goddard College in Plainfield. Abu-Jamal, who will not attend the event
