SOTU open thread

I won’t be watching. Because I have my dignity. And that trumps having a political blog. Besides, who doesn’t know in advance what Obama is going to say? But knock yourselves out.

BREAKING: GUN BATTLE AT BIG BEAR; 2 OFFICERS DOWN; DORNER UNABLE TO UPDATE HIS FACEOOK PAGE

Live coverage via KFI 640. I sure do hope the evil LA po-po ain’t kill the modern-day Patrick Henry-Luther-King Jr X. ATTICA!  ATTICA!  ATTICA! yawn. (thanks to Darleen)

“Food Stamp Rolls in America Now Surpass the Population of Spain”

Sadly, this is one of his real achievements that, were this President at all honest about his actual liberal fascist agenda — which is to grow the government and expand federal power, ally himself with big corporate interests, shrink the middle class, destroy small business, hamstring the private sector, and create a permanent dependent class that will keep voting “in their economic interests” — he would be boasting about this

“Obama to argue against spending cuts, call for more tax hikes”

Which was a given.  Because he’s a Marxist, and his aim is to expand the federal government while repeatedly kneecapping the private sector economy.  And he’ll use any lies or deceptions he thinks he and his media enablers can sell in order to do so. Hardly a story. But this is:  anybody want to place odds on whether its Rubio or Rand Paul who first notes that the “one-time” stimulus

If the mainstream media is Obama’s praetorian guard…

What would that make Google?  Aside from a kind of shadow intelligence agency for the progressives, I mean. Quick. Somebody drop Victor Davis Hanson a line.  I need to extend a metaphor here. (h/t JohnInFirestone)

“Americans are losing trust in government”

Glenn Reynolds’ latest in USA today is dead on.  And I’m not just saying that because it reads like me, were you to shorten my sentences, make them more direct and persuasive, and remove the anger and the rancid sarcasm.  Writes Glenn: Last week, I noted that Americans are losing confidence in their government: According to a new Pew poll, more than half see it as a threat to their

On the cult of Chris Dorner

I read his manifesto.  There is nothing heroic, trenchant, bracing, or even interesting (substance-wise) in any of his predictable rantings.  Instead, he is a poster-child for how leftist propaganda has yet again created a self-righteous, morally confused, and intellectually bankrupt self-esteem brat who has been so poisoned by lies and so unwilling to accept (and then address and correct)  his own shortcomings, that he is able to cast about for

“BREAKING: NORTH KOREA TESTS NUCLEAR WEAPON”

Jim Geraghty, the Morning Jolt: And you thought the Pope stepped on Obama’s State of the Union address. BOOM: The seismic magnitude of an “explosion-like event” in North Korea on Tuesday was roughly twice as large as that of a 2009 nuclear test in the country, an international nuclear test monitoring agency said. “We can assume this is roughly twice as big in magnitude,” Lassina Zerbo, director of the international

Stunning. And a sure sign the apocalypse is near upon us.

“IOC drops wrestling from 2020 Olympics”. Which is like dropping bulls and clowns from rodeo, or bad vibrato from “American Idol.”  The thing itself is changed. Fundamentally. There’s a same-sex marriage correlation here, it occurs to me, but I’ll bracket that for the time being.  Out of respect for the dead.
