I have to be careful not to violate my confidentiality agreement when I say this…

…but in answer to your question, no, I don’t “generally” like to wear rubber gimp suits. Can we please move on now?

"Public-School Teachers are Overpaid, Heritage/AEI Study Finds"

WHY DO CONSERVATIVES HATE THE CHILDREN? A new study conducted by the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) finds that, contrary to popular belief, public-school teachers receive total compensation more than 50 percent greater than that of private sector employees – if you take into account benefits, job security, summer vacations and other factors. “There’s a widespread belief among people — really across the political spectrum — from

What did Politico know and when did they know it?

Last evening I sent a series of questions via Twitter to the 4 authors bylined on the Herman Cain “sexual harassment story.” And I did so because it occurred to me that one component of this story that no one seems to be asking about is what, exactly, did the Politico reporters know of any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements by which either/both Herman Cain and the two women cited anonymously

Law of unintended consequences

— Which, just because they are unintended doesn’t make the unpredictable. In fact, spreading the misery has always been what the Occupy Wall Street protests have been about. 21 more people to add to the 99%. Buck up! The movement is spreading!

Occupy John Corzine's gazebo!

Just last month: The Occupy Wall Street movement, like the Tea Party, is a sign of a broader “anxiety” among middle-class Americans, Jon Corzine, ex-Goldman Sachs chief executive and Governor of New Jersey, told CNBC Tuesday. Corzine, who is now chief executive and chairman of MF Global after losing his gubernatorial seat to Chris Christie, said: “There’s a lot of anxiety in families across the country.” Today: “Corzine: Poster Child

"Sexual harassment settlements: 'cost of doing business'"

Well, sure. And that was well known even before the Politico hit piece on Cain. Which is why the serious, sober, and “sane” journalists are now worried about how the Cain campaign has performed with respect to its spin control, the cover up being worse than the crime and all. Frankly, were you a high-profile CEO in the 90s and you hadn’t ever been accused of sexual harassment, the mainstream

"The one chart that explodes the myth of US income inequality"

I brought this to you before, but there’s no harm in showing it to you again — this time, with a gloss by James Pethokoukis.

"Breaking: California High-Speed Rail Boondoggle Now Officially Texas-Sized"

Bullet trains to nowhere. Unless your destination is, say, staggering waste and then, ultimately, bankruptcy. In which case, all aboard! Nick Gillespie, Reason: Three years ago, voters were sold a project that was gonna cost $43 billion, which now costs $66 billion in 2010 dollars, but the actual cost is gonna be $98.5 billion, if everything goes faster than Carl Douglas doing some kung-fu fighting and the whole system is

"The 99%: Official list of Occupy Wall Street’s supporters, sponsors and sympathizers"

Just like the TEA Party! — Well, if the TEA Party was supported by the Obama, Pelosi, Biden, the American Nazi Party, the Communist Party, Farrakhan, CAIR, North Korea, David Duke, The Socialist Party, Revolutionary Communists, Hugo Chavez, The Black Panthers, ANSWER, Hezbollah, Anonymous, and Iranian TV, I mean. But other than that, they’re practically identical.

Cain, the minstrely Uncle Tom pervert

Oh, c’mon. We’re only joking. Jesus. Lighten up, racists.
