It really should have been on Pay-per-view. I wonder — is Dick Cheney watching the voting? update: AP calls it for Cruz with 20% reporting. No word yet on whether Dick Cheney has called that a mistake.

Anonymous source says: Harry Reid a pederast for at least ten years [Darleen Click] UPDATED
Now, do I know that that’s true? Well, I’m not certain. But I’m sure, somewhere, his dad, the late Harry Vincent Reid, is sorely disappointed in the lesser Harry. —————- UPDATE I question the timing The latest web ad from Barack Obama’s campaign goes after Mitt Romney for not releasing more tax returns than he already has. The ad, titled “Mitt Romney’s Tax Returns: When Will He Come Clean?,” at

“Huma Abedin’s Muslim Brotherhood Ties”
Andrew McCarthy, NRO: Despite mounting evidence of close ties between the Muslim Brotherhood and Huma Abedin, Secretary of State Clinton’s close aide, Republican congressional leaders — particularly Senator John McCain and House Speaker John Boehner — continue to target their ire not at the State Department but at Representative Michele Bachmann.

“House to consider eliminating Senate confirmation for presidential appointees” [update]
Constitution? Piffle. Temporary Congresses can just simply vote to do away with checks and balances. For future “streamlining” and “efficiency.” Wouldn’t want the road to serfdom filled with all these procedural potholes, after all. Forward! (h/t sdferr) **** “UPDATE: The House passed the legislation Tuesday night by a vote of 261-116. The bill now goes to President Obama’s desk for his signature.” Next up, Congress will vote to let itself

Frum: “Do guns make us safer?”
Well, they make me safer. And my family safer. And that’s all that matters. To me.

And in truth, there are very few people who, at that moment just

“White House postpones harmful economic regulations until after the election”
Because though it’s all for our own good, there’s a strong chance we might not see it that way in time — and then we’d vote, you know, incorrectly. Later, when it’s forced on us and we no longer have any recourse to prevent it, then we’ll learn to love it. Like an arranged marriage, kind of. So exotic. So foreign. So noble.

“John Lott: Obama Told Me People Shouldn’t Be Able ‘To Own Guns'”
The Second Amendment is yet another example of shit those rich, white, slave-owning ingrates who dissed a gracious and goodly king, bolting from his glorious colonialist empire, got totally ass-backwards.

“Dem Congressman: Being Rich Is ‘A Privilege,’ You Must ‘Contribute Back'”
Ah, the nobility! Demanding that those who already pay 71% of the tax burden for the 50% of the population who pay next to nothing need to “contribute back” — because what they have they have by way of privilege. And who grants that privilege? Why the government, naturally. And who are “the rich” to “contribute back” to? Why, the granter of the privilege, of course. Don’t be so daft!
