Nannystate Republicans

Yet another reason why I don’t care one bit what letter a politician wears at the end of his or her name: a statist is a statist, regardless of whether or not s/he wants lower taxes. Case in point, “Michigan Fights Childhood Obesity by Tracking It”: In an attempt to combat Michigan’s childhood obesity epidemic, Gov. Rick Snyder announced today that the state would begin tracking kids’ body mass index

Wow.

Talk about misreading the zeitgeist.

"If you love me…"

“you’ve got to help me pass this jobs bill.” #attackwatch: I’d like to turn myself in. I don’t love Barack Obama. And I’d rather pass a kidney stone than help him pass his tax hike / son of stimulus. I’m so ashamed. (h/t Darleen)

"#AttackWatch trending on Twitter, but not in a good way"

#attackwatch: I’m unclear if this article on how attackwatch has become an internet joke is considered an attack on Dear Leader, or just an attack on #attackwatch. At any rate, I thought you should know about it. To help stop the HATE!

"Worse and worse: New e-mails show White House rushed OMB to approve Solyndra loan"

Well, sure. But Democrats have offered a convincing rejoinder: “Uh… BIG SOLAR! And, you know, Bush!” **** @attackwatch: Bush and Solyndra corporate fatcats misled Obama into bad green jobs investment. I say we burn them. Thoughts? Matches…? (thanks to JD)

The real question is, does my pointing it out constitute an

"Authors of Social Security Believed It Was Unconstitutional"

Of course, the only reality is some combination of perception and received truths, so, you know — what the hell, right? Terence Jeffrey, CNS: Mitt Romney may believe Social Security is constitutional, but he would have a hard time convincing some of the people who pushed the Social Security Act into law. As I wrote in my book, “Control Freaks,” some of the main players involved in creating Social Security

@attackwatch

Not sure if this counts, but I just watched a hobo eating an Oreo, and the filth of such heavy-handed symbolism convinced me to beat him with a length of rebar. Good, or is that an overreaction? Please advise.

Understanding NY-9

Conventional wisdom is that the election is a repudiation of Obama and his policies; Michael Barone says the rebuke is to Chuck Schumer, by way of Anthony Wiener’s Anthony’s wiener; still others insist that a social wedge issue, namely, repudiation of the re-definition of marriage, played an important role; and then there’s the Democrat party spokesperson Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who is telling us that NY-9 has always been a difficult district
