… then American comedians have done in four years ****************************************************** update Elegance and class … ******************************************************** update 2 I haven’t found one word yet about Ann Romney’s gown in the MSM. The same MSM that has swooned over every inch of cloth and under-the-boob belt that Michelle Obama has donned for four years.

It’s time to do away with Congress, and even the President
Judges, as a class, are society’s very own, very privileged caste: philosopher kings. And we should be happy to have them available to us, lest we find ourselves — in bipartisan fashion — unable to correctly and unequivocally express the consent of the governed. The other branches of government are just dressing, at this point. Except for the imperial executive, should the court side with him. Which it does. Incidentally,

He may be dirty, and his name may be Harry… [McGehee]
Here’s a little “tale of the tape” comparison between Clint Eastwood and Senate Majority Leader pro tem Harry Reid: Eastwood: High Plains Drifter Reid: Low-life grifter Eastwood: The man with no name Reid: The man with no shame Eastwood: Pale Rider Reid: His bills have riders that are beyond the pale Eastwood: Talked to a vacant chair Reid: Needs to vacate his chair Eastwood: Escaped from Alcatraz Reid: Belongs there

“‘Coal mine’ stalls small Virginia airport runway’s takeoff”
See? Careful consideration by credentialed government officials will, eventually, answer even the most tricky of ontological questions. Like for instance, when is a runway actually a coal mine? And yet silly bitterclingery bitterclingers and their conspiracy-minded Hobbit feet think the federal government is too big and the administrative state far too powerful — without any constitutional authority for even having, much less wielding, such power. Dear bitterclingery bitterclinger Hobbit cockroaches

“Massive study finds only 3.4% of American adults identify as LGBT”
Andrew Malcolm, IBD: A massive new survey published this morning reveals that only 3.4% of American adults publicly identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, with the highest percentage coming among the younger, less-educated non-whites. The new Gallup Poll of more than 121,000 adults, the largest of its kind on record, wass conducted during the past four months. It finds the percentage of self-reported LGBT Americans to be much smaller

“Jobless Claims Hit Four-Month High: Increase 46K to 388K”
Quick. Someone shoot off a message to Joe Weisenthal over at Business Insider. Before he writes something embarrassing.

Immersion criticism, intentionalism, and textualism
This is the first time I’ve heard the term immersion criticism, but as a descriptor of the interpretive methodology it’s trying to capture, it’s perfectly apt. Essentially, immersion criticism is nothing more, really, than intensive close reading of a text — but it represents a kind of nearly obsessive intentionalism that I think might be interesting to those who’ve read me on the subject over the years. And that’s because

Remember the “undecided” woman at the debate who asked the AK-47 question?
Well, at least one person seems to think she’s not likely “undecided” at all. Probably because she is a registered Democrat who “works for the Obama campaign out of Nassau County NY”. — Which, if that’s true, is a pretty good reason to develop the “she’s not likely ‘undecided’ at all” hypothesis, I must say. Developing…

On the wage gap
— And in particular, the myth that the left keeps perpetuating in order to keep the focus on lady bits: “women making only 72 percent of what their male counterparts earn.” Diana Furchtgott-Roth, NRO: […] women don’t make 72 cents on a man’s dollar, or 77 cents on a man’s dollar, one of Obama’s favorite statistics. This comes from comparing the earnings of all full-time male employees with all full-time

“Sally Kohn: ‘NO ONE GIVES A SH*T ABOUT FAST & FURIOUS’”
Well, save the Terry family and lots of families of dead Mexicans. And maybe the Mexican government. And those who are worried about an unaccountable Administration, a complicit and compliant press, and rogue operations meant, in the end, I’m convinced, to undermine our own Second Amendment. But then, that’s just me nitpicking. What Ms Kohn — a sometimes FOX contributer and liberal commentator — really meant to say was, nobody
