"Welfare State: Handouts Make Up One-Third of U.S. Wages"

Protestant work ethic? Meh. Dead white males, old documents, conservatism. A permanent Democrat client state run by a byzantine, inefficient Brazil-like bureaucracy and peopled with a soul-dead perpetual victim class of khaki-clad drones collecting “wages” stolen from a dwindling number of remaining free taxpayers? Now we’re talking! Progress!

Oops!

A reminder, in light of the NPR sting: “NASCAR Fans Fail to Bite NBC’s Bigot Bait”. The anti-intellectualism, it burns! Reached for comment, former NPR executive Ron Schiller called any request for him to comment on the story both “racist and weirdly evangelical.” Then he ate a plum-infused puff pastry and let slip the most marvelous little potpouri fart!

"Cantor: Budget Cannot Be Balanced in Next 10 Years Without 'Severely Impacting' Seniors — Which GOP Won't Do"

We heard you, TEA Partiers. But we won’t wound seniors. We won’t shut down the government and risk public backlash. And we won’t go for cuts deeper than 61 billion on a budget that proposes a new $1.6 trillion deficit. So. Feel our fury, Democrats. Young turks rule!

Why all the bitching?

After all, the Cookie Monster runs afoul of Michelle Obama’s proper eating initiative (don’t even get me started on that gluttonous Miss Piggy, with her false consciousness); Kermit routinely insists that going green is for more difficult than kids are otherwise being told; and Oscar bullies bullies bullies from amid his filth — and so of course this hotbed of anti-social propaganda NEEDS to be removed from the public dole.

"NPR Executive Quits After Video Comments"

Some NPR footnotes: Tuesday night, Vivian Schiller, president and chief executive of NPR, released this statement: “Ron Schiller’s remarks are contrary to what NPR stands for and are deeply distressing to reporters, editors and others who bring fairness, civility and respect for a wide variety of viewpoints to their work everyday.” The video, released by conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe, shows Mr. Schiller and a colleague in a meeting at a

As election year approaches, more and more GOP "pragmatists" begin their push to re-elect Obama

Of course, they think they’re doing something else entirely — Jeb Bush, for instance, thought that by helping Obama in Florida, he was appealing to “moderates” and paving the way for his 2016 presidential run, which I can already tell you from my perspective is dead in the water — but regardless of what they think they’re doing, what they are actually doing is help portray the TEA Party as

"No guts, no glory: GOP should heed lesson of '91"

Byron York to GOP presidential hopefuls: nut up.

More on NPR and its "neutrality" and "independence"

It’s all about maintaining journalistic credibility, you see. And independence. Which you can best do by joining forces with the Muslim Brotherhood and keeping clear of the Zionist controlled media. Here. Enjoy. And then despair. (thanks to JHo)

Squishy CA Republicans finding some backbone [Darleen]

…and they are standing up to Gov Brown: In their letter, the five Republicans outlined the policy changes they are seeking. They include pension rollbacks for public employees, further constitutional restrictions on state spending, easing regulations on business, an overhaul of the tax code and an expansion of contracting out government work to private companies. The senators also suggested that Brown abandon his plans to eliminate redevelopment agencies and tax

"Wisconsin Faces Layoffs After Democrats Flee"

The unions. They care: This abdication of responsibility by the Senate Democrats exposes the true motives behind the powerful public-sector unions in the Wisconsin budget battle. Big Labor and their Senate Democrat pawns have shown that this is about political power and the bank accounts of the unions and not about the state employees they represent. The unions, after all, are claiming to promote state employees best interests. Even though
