Doug Ross: With 200 Mexican nationals and two American law enforcement personnel already dead, Eric Holder’s Operation Fast and Furious is ten times bigger than Watergate and Iran-Contra combined. And the White House is actively attempting to suppress media coverage of the scandal. The tipping point we’re facing is not only the roughly 50% of Americans who rely on government. To truly understand what we’re up against, factor in the

Harry Reid just changed the Senate rules to block minority party amendments. No, really. He has transformed the legislative process in order to avoid having to vote on the Jobs bill his Party’s President is demanding be voted on. People: Look at what’s happening in the Senate. Listen to the President and his demonization of the private sector. Look at what’s happening on Wall Street, where the leftists are literally

Which, isn’t that the same economic model Solyndra used? Pointing out the disconnect is not partisanship or racism. To borrow from the President, it’s math.

Henry Payne, NRO: While snake-oil salesmen Obama claims to know the future and blow taxpayer dollars on it, Jobs and his peers hatched ideas that attracted billions of dollars of private capital. The result is a digital infrastructure that spans the globe totally independent of government subsidy. Currently flogging her Big Government treatise, A Governor’s Story, Obama twin and ex-Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm declares new technologies will only get off

At some point, we’re going to have to admit to ourselves that, as a nation, it wasn’t a “Good Man” we elected. Instead, it was the Platonic Ideal of an Occupy Wall Street protester. HISTORIC! **** update: Amazingly, the drooling, ill-mannered, and decidedly un-nuanced Visigoths made the connections years ago. But I guess sometimes you have to watch shit burn to the ground before you admit its been a tinderbox

“Tale of the Red Tape #21: USDA’s Affirmative Action for Vegetables,” Heritage: First they came for the donuts, and few dared to defend partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Then they came for the soft drinks, declaring high-fructose corn syrup verboten. Now they’re after lima beans, peas, and corn, moving us ever closer to a national diet of tofu and kale. “They,” in this latest case of dietary despotism, is the Food

Demand 6: New alarm clocks should come equipped with a 2nd snooze button that wakes you up only when TV Land is running a “Night Court” marathon. (Previous list of demands here.) **** update: Cuz it’s 1, 2, 3, what’re we fightin’ 4? Don’t matter I don’t give a damn, next stop is, like, some SoHo coffee shop. For biscotti! **** update: Demand 7: Cancel “Biggest Loser”. Which is nothing

David Freddoso: Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., D-Ill., was on the House floor just now during President Obama’s presser, offering a privileged resolution aimed squarely at Texas Gov. and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry. The resolution is designed to extend the Washington Post’s coverage on the offensively named parcel of land that Perry’s father once leased for hunting. The resolution basically calls on Perry to apologize for the offensive name that

Pass my bill. Because all our problems are the fault of Bush, the Arab Spring, the European economy, the Japanese Tsunami, House Republicans, Senate Republicans, Wall Street, Big Oil, Big Coal, Big Light Bulbs, China, and Hank Williams — and the only solution is my new spending bill. Which is already paid for (that 5% surcharge on millionaires? Rainy day fund!). And more government investment in green energy. I will
