Honestly. If the Left had a modicum of self-respect, its fellow-travelers, a cluster of pimples on the otherwise un-blighted ass of liberty, would literally pop from the pressure of trying to negotiate their own ever-throbbing red-edged hypocrisies: A recently published “lexicon” distributed to thousands of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) targets citizens concerned about their Second Amendment rights and the steady

We needed to pass the law to see what’s in it, and one of the provisions we’re now finding is the compulsory creation of lactation chambers — a surreal provision that has Staples co-founder Tom Stemberg a bit annoyed: Stemberg […] is questioning an Obamacare provision that discourages job creation by dictating employers funnel their capital into lactation chambers. “Do you want [farming retailer] Tractor Supply to open stores or

The Washington Examiner sees the command-and-control writing on the magical thinking wall: The CAFE rule is the fleet-wide average fuel economy rating manufacturers are required by Washington to achieve. The new rule — issued in response to a 2010 Obama directive, not to specific legislation passed by Congress — would require automakers to achieve a 40.9 mpg CAFE average by 2021 and 54.5 mpg by 2025.

I blame the Hobbits for hating this so much that the GOP leadership, by way of contradistinction, was forced to cut a deal just to show that they aren’t controlled by the filthy ideologues whose purist true believing is naive and dangerous and unhelpful. These TEA Party types are going to be the death of us! (h/t geoffB)

I posted this in the comments yesterday, but not everyone reads the threads all the way through, so I figured I’d elevate it to the front page. Which I can do, this being my site and all. First, this: The Romney campaign — perhaps sensing a potential Santorum surge — has begun in earnest to dump its oppo research into people’s inboxes. To wit: “Romney is going after Santorum now.

But don’t worry: these are the same leftists who have taken over institutional control of just about everything they feel can lend authority to their political agenda. So the real purpose of the investigation, I’d guess, is to suggest integrity where none exists, and to lead, by the ultimate inaction of the committee, to exoneration of their choices — and in an oddly circuitous way, validation for the winners. Meaning

Because I have no idea how to get that little trademark thingie into the title field. My pick: 31-27 New England.

Chalk up another victory for Mr Inevitable — marking the latest in a string of primaries or caucuses where the GOP primary voter has come out for the Republican candidate who supported the Obama stimulus and whose team worked with the Obama Administration on government-run health care and cap and trade; the Republican candidate who supported TARP and federal bailouts rather than allowing for the market system to work; the
