WSJ: Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said on Monday that younger workers should be allowed to divert a portion of their Social Security taxes to private investment accounts, leaving Mitt Romney as the only leading GOP contender not to advocate fundamental changes to the federal retirement program. — the status quo sells. Get behind Mitt! Change is difficult and often unpopular, and Mitt won’t set the Team up for potential blowback!

A German reporter rips into Jay Carney, noting that the US doesn’t seem too keen on fixing its own debt problem, even as the US President likes to lecture Europeans on theirs. Likely because the reporter is a racist teabagging bitterclinger who just can’t stand the idea of a Black President and is too politically unsophisticated to understand that things work differently in DC — and that our so-called debt

Panel featuring Michelle Malkin, Philip Klein, and Andrew Malcolm. Moderated by Melissa Clouthier, who was kind enough to give me a shout out. One of the things I learned at BlogCon is that many prominent conservative opinion leaders had never even heard of protein wisdom. A fact that for me put the last decade of my life in a kind of sad (if not pathetic) perspective. But I muddle on.

So rather than burden you all with my funk I think I’ll just go have a frozen pizza and watch a few movies. 80s movies. Bad comedies. Maybe some horror flicks. The kinds of movies where big-haired, heavily tarted-up wannabe-actresses show their tits for no reason other than that the script suggests they do so — and because they think the exposure will bring the kind of celluloid fame that

Why, it’s like Kent State all over again! Only instead of student deaths? We’re witnessing the watery eyes of fascist oppression! Which is kinda the same thing. If you squint. And you’re desperate.

RS McCain, American Spectator, “Heroes Forgotten, Lessons Unlearned”: There was a time — not really so long ago — when a ringing endorsement from CPUSA would have been the kiss of death for any political movement in America. Twenty years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, however, the anti-communist sentiments of the Cold War seem as obsolete as the F-105 fighter-bomber (finally mothballed by the Air Force in 1984),

Happily for Obama and the Democrats, the GOP has done a wonderful job of presenting itself as protectors of “the rich” (rather than as champions of private property rights and individual liberty) — with the end result being that Obama’s campaign can continue to run against an obstructionist Congress, that supplier-side cuts will be made to Medicaid, that massive defense budget cuts are automatically triggered, and that the majority of

I’ll be on DaTechGuy’s program on WCRN in MA tomorrow morning at 10:45 am ET or thereabouts. Instapundit will be on immediately before me, probably talking about invisible cloaking, or how one day we’ll be using nanobots to fast-broil our Thanksgiving turkeys and mash our potatoes or some such. For my part, I’ll be talking about Occupy Denver’s attempt to force their way into BlogCon11 — and the fallout from

Have you ever imagined yourself a winged creature, able to soar above the mass of humanity going about its day oblivious to the heights to which you’ve so gloriously and remarkably climbed? Because I have. And it always ends with my taking a cluster of birdshot to an area just below the ribcage, then falling stupidly into some field, where a dog fetches my carcass in its dumb mouth before

That $1.2 Trillion Boehner and the boys were hoping to “cut” to save the US economy from a credit downgrade — necessitating an agreement with the Democrats to form a SuperCommittee everyone knew wouldn’t and couldn’t possibly work (and even if it did, it would benefit the Dems, who’d get defense spending cuts and non-recipient cuts to Medicare, which they could then blame on the GOP)? Well, here’s what it
