Once you’re done demanding fiscal discipline by helping to sweep establishment politicians out of Washington, it’s time to turn your attention to the increasingly extra-Constitutional federal courts. Because until we do that, no legislative pushback is safe — and no freedom is guaranteed should it run up against the whims of our self-styled philosopher kings. (thanks to bigbooner)

The Democrat solution? Tax and spend more: In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Obama said, “One of my top priorities next year is to have an energy policy that begins to address all facets of our overreliance on fossil fuels. We may end up having to do it in chunks, as opposed to some sort of comprehensive omnibus legislation. But we’re going to stay on this because it is

The Exorcist, William Friedkin’s second masterpiece in three years (The French Connection), is now available on Blu-Ray in an extended director’s cut. Too bad I no longer have an Amazon sponsorship (thanks, Denver lawmakers!), because I highly recommend that those of you with a Blu-Ray player add this one to your home video libraries.

But that doesn’t mean they’ll stop trying.

…this ain’t. At the same time, though, I’m not at all bothered by the President’s taste in music — nor do I think we learn anything essential about his character by pretending that his admiration for other people’s lyrics is indicative of a flaw in his worldview: both Obama’s policy initiatives and the way he treats those he presumes to govern adequately speak to that point, after all — and
