Mexican cartels channel jihadists In the latest example of Mexico’s warring drug cartels taunting each other with gruesome on-line videos, footage posted on a popular cartel-tracking blog shows members of the Gulf cartel interrogating and then beheading at least three members of the Zetas cartel.

protein wisdom says: I freakin’ told you so. [updated x2]
Over. And over. And over and over and over and over and over. And over and over and over. Intentionalism just is. But because we can’t concern ourselves with what we believe we’re doing when we claim to be interpreting, we’ve ended up institutionalizing a tyrannical form of “interpretation” that is linguistically incoherent. Thus, behold: The Federal Government does not have the power to order people to buy health insurance.

“OBAMA: MANDATE IS NOT A TAX”
Flashback to a time when words meant what they were intended to mean, not what a reasonable set of Justices decided they must mean: STEPHANOPOULOS: You were against the individual mandate… OBAMA: Yes.

Guess what, folks:

Let’s all celebrate picking our neighbor’s pocket! PAHHR-ty! [Darleen Click]
Previously I covered how the food stamp program is, by happy design, expanding. It even gets fun, new names as California designates it as “CalFresh.” Via Weasel Zippers is this advice from the USDA pamphlet on how to ensnare more people into “SNAP” … Throw a Great Party. Host social events where people mix and mingle. Make it fun by having activities, games, food, and entertainment, and provide information about

Because this site has been so unrelentingly pessimistic
I’m not going to reference the plan by Obama to deploy thousands upon thousands of lawyers this election season so that, should he lose, he can claim he’s really won, save for all the racism and fraud, and file lawsuit after lawsuit to keep himself in office. I’m not going to reference that because that’s just too depressing to think about. Instead, I’m going to do this: Puppies! Licking babies!

Did former Obama White House Budget Director Peter Orszag just endorse Paul Ryan’s Medicare reform plan?
