Unraveling [bh]

Pablo: “Boom.” Jeff: “Go back to Mayberry. And tell Aunt Bea she best have my bean pie!” (hat tip to Pablo and Jeff)

John McCain, douche

What? That wasn’t clear enough? *

Convicting Scooter Libby for having a different memory than Tim Russert (but not for being the source of any leak)?

Justice! — and “a harsh indictment of the inner workings” of the Bush White House. Whereas a Congressional panel holding AG Holder in contempt for lying and stonewalling the investigation of a federal operation that led to a number of deaths, including to US Border Patrol agents? A witch hunt. By witch huntery racists looking to hunt witches. And Colin Powell, Jeb Bush, and the rest of the conciliation and

“House Panel Votes To Hold Holder in Contempt”

And? If something more comes of this, I’ll be absolutely shocked. I mean, just look at how the WSJ reports on this: White House spokesman Eric Schultz said Mr. Obama’s reasoning was similar to that of former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Mr. Schultz said the other presidents “protected the same category of documents we’re protecting today,” meaning after-the-fact internal materials. It was the first time Mr. Obama

And yes, I realize the more pragmatic and collegial GOPers don’t like unhelpful language, but the fact is, Obama and the far left cohort he installed throughout the administrative state are attempting a coup — with the goal being to fundamentally transform the US from a representative constitutional republic based around

“Boehner Won’t Say If GOP House Will Approve Funds for Obama to Force Catholics to Act Against Faith”

Could be that he doesn’t want to tip his hand politically — but more likely he’s waiting for the most up to date polling data to tell him whether or not he should act on his instincts. What those instincts are to be determined, of course, by the most up to date polling data. Pragmatism. Options. Sure beats the hell out of that purity shit, doesn’t it?

Obama Admin damned proud of adding more people to welfare rolls [Darleen Click]

Forward!-looking Democrats eager to increase dependency class The next time someone moans about Washington “austerity,” tell them about the Senate’s food stamp votes on Tuesday. Democrats and a few Republicans united to block even modest reform in a welfare program that has exploded in the last decade and is set to spend $770 billion in the next 10 years. Yes, $770 billion on a single program. And you wonder why
