I still say a two-child limit is the way to go. Otherwise, how are we ever going to get rid of the “carbon pollution” that keeps Robert Redford from having acres of pristine land free from vacationing human parasites? Cheap energy — and this frakking business has got to stop, pronto! — allows people to be mobile and productive. Which allows them to spread out and consume. And all of

“Russian President Vladimir Putin Overjoyed With Obama’s Reelection, ‘We Took The News Very Positively'”
Reagan never really won the Cold War, sad to say. Bill Ayers, Barack Obama, Alinsky, Gramsci, and Cloward-Piven did. With an assist, I suppose, from Frank Marshall Davis. ABC News, via Weasel Zippers: Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent a congratulatory note to President Obama after his re-election Tuesday, his spokesman said. The Kremlin says it will make the text public after the Americans have received it. Putin is also
“Obama May Levy Carbon Tax to Cut the U.S. Deficit, HSBC Says”
Smile, bemusedly: Barack Obama may consider introducing a tax on carbon emissions to help cut the U.S. budget deficit after winning a second term as president, according to HSBC Holdings Plc. A carbon tax starting at $20 a ton of carbon dioxide equivalent and rising at about 6 percent a year could raise $154 billion by 2021, Nick Robins, an analyst at the bank in London, said today in an
Tipping point
Some advice for my fellow classical liberals / constitutional conservatives going forward: embrace bemusedness. Lead from behind. Point and laugh and shake your heads. Smile knowingly. Be not bothered by the smug lectures from progressives who today wish to chide you or molest you with their sudden interest in “reality,” and then declare your demise is complete. Let them stay drunk on their pride; let them embrace the demographics they’ve
So the most feckless, puerile, race-baiting … [Darleen Click]
… class-baiting, corrupt, disengaged, coveting, narcissistic, even-makes-Jimmy-Carter-look-good, President is re-elected? Oh yeah, because 59 million of my fellow “Americans” believe they have a right to pick my pocket, because I didn’t really “build that”. Get off my lawn.
I posted this to Twitter, but I may as well post it here, as well:
Here’s the really galling part of the takeaway: socialism (or, if you prefer, liberal fascism, or Marxism, or New Leftism, etc.) is the new “moderate,” while moderate is the new “severely conservative.” Give yourselves a round of applause, boys! Well played! I don’t know how many times I’ve written this, but with each attempt to play Dem lite by the GOP establishment, the left is able to move more left,
Election 2012: America’s swan song
Looks like the Mayans were right, after all. Sadly, there is no going back now. At least, not by way of elections. The masses here are content to run out the debt clock, get theirs, and say fuck it to the next few generations, who will bear the burden of what will be an inevitable collapse. So there’s really no going back, period. McCaskill — whose family raked in stimulus
Rest of Election Day Open Thread
I’m off to go shooting, then it’s pick up Satch from school and from there, wrestling practice. Plus, I just need the time away from all this. — Though yes, being heavily armed at the same time I’m freaking out is probably not the best recipe for a peaceful day.

Attention Colorado Voters:
Via Ace: Commenter Alice passed along info about voters being turned back at her polling place because they aren’t on the voter rolls. She wanted to remind you to request a provisional ballot, don’t take no for an answer, and don’t listen to them tell you it won’t count. You’ll have to follow up with the registrar (or whoever is responsible for voter registration in your county) to demonstrate your
