Meet Desmond Hatchett — the fulfillment of the Welfare State [Darleen Click]

The Leftists’ dream … You have to say this much for Desmond Hatchett: He has a way with the ladies. The 33-year-old Knoxville, Tenn., resident has reportedly set a Knox County record for his ability to reproduce. He has 30 children with 11 women. And nine of those children were born in the last three years, after Hatchett — who is something of a local celebrity — vowed “I’m done!”

Sure, the EPA may be annexing Alaska

…but what the agency hasn’t accounted for is the looming presence of a possible Mitt Romney presidency. Because if ever there was a man singly prepared to beat back the excesses of bureaucratic overreach and correct the leftward listing of a moribund constitutional republic, it’s a severely conservative one-term former Massachusetts governor and Reagan denier like Mitt. — His dalliance with cap-and-trade, his imposition of a top-down state-run health care

“This isn’t about Rush …” [Darleen Click]

“… this is about our community … and that the era of his brand of thinking is over and we’re moving on…” Behold the multitudes: Seven women participated in the National Organization for Women’s day of protest against Rush Limbaugh in front of Limbaugh’s D.C. affiliate WMAL, Friday. NOW’s national protest day had been in the works since April 19, when the women’s advocacy group launched their “Enough Rush” campaign.

Justice for sale

Well, if you’re the right sort, that is.  Pony up! From Dan Collins: What is the matter with these people? The U.S. government has accepted 10 percent of the profits of the upcoming “Passion of the Christ” prequel in a plea deal with a Mexican drug smuggler, despite apparently knowing the royalties had been obtained illegally. According to AP reports, Jorge Vázquez Sánchez, 34, pleaded guilty to money laundering and

“In Obama’s economy, it’s better to forget college”

Forward! For how many generations have parents told their offspring that a college education would virtually guarantee economic success in life? Well, not in Obama’s economy. All part of his hopeless change. Our perspicacious IBD colleague Jed Graham has been studying the latest labor force data. Here’s his eye-opening finding: “For the first time in history, the number of jobless workers age 25 and up who have attended some college

Election 2012: Romney camp indicates early surrender

We knew it would be this way:  it’s 2008 all over again, with the GOP Establishment having convinced itself that it was the presence of Palin that likely sank the good and mavericky McCain juggernaut.  Which is why we’ll likely get some milquetoast VP candidate like Portman.  To vindicate McCain. So, to recap. The Romney campaign — along with the GOP intelligentsia (but I repeat myself) — has signaled that,

“It was nothing more than a fact checking error by me …” [Darleen Click]

“… an agency assistant at the time,” Goderich wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News. Yesterday, Breitbart broke an exclusive about a 1991 brochure from Obama’s literary agent where his bio listed Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and

Politico, Boehner, and the value of trust [bh]

Politico says the House Republicans are planning on saving multiple aspects of Obamacare.  Other folks are reporting otherwise and include firm denials from key players. So, is this something?  If you don’t trust Politico and you don’t trust Boehner then it’s hard to say, isn’t it? Update: Here’s Levin on the matter.  (Thanks, mc4ever59.)
