Make no mistake — Corporations, like Adobe and Microsoft, can be just as amoral, envious, grasping and shortsighted as Big Gov [Darleen Click]

The only thing is, we the customer, can immediately vote with our wallets. Microsoft just reversed itself on the Xbox One because the fan base rose up en masse and said NO WAY Wednesday’s statement from Don Mattrick, president of Microsoft’s interactive entertainment business, was less mea culpa and more customer relations 101, thanking consumers who had beaten Microsoft like a pinata all over the Web these past few weeks

Betsy McCaughey: ObamaCare, immigration reform laws set up national Tammany Hall government

Essentially, McCaughey, a former NY Lieutenant Governor under George Pataki (and later, Democrat challenger for Governor), points out in her appearance with Mark Levin last evening that the laws are written in such a way that funds allocated are set up to be distributed at the state level to political activist groups, who are given the role of helping people navigate the new laws and, importantly, register them to vote.

“IRS Pays Out $70,000,000 In Bonuses Amidst Scandals”

When something is so broken and so perverse that it literally compresses of its own weight into a nugget of pure and perfect bureaucratic and political evil, should we really be protesting it? Or should we just look upon it with wonder and admiration, like a kind of high art?

For instance, Mr Packer tells us: America’s postwar responsibilities demanded co-operation between the two parties in Congress, and when the cold war waned, the co-operation was bound

“Will cities use eminent domain to seize and write down underwater mortgages — and kill the housing recovery?”

Let me rephrase Mr Pethokoukis’s question for those operating in today’s post-Constitutional milieu: “Will Democrats (and certain very “progressive” Republicans) get away with buying votes by essentially stealing mortgage investment money that has always assumed to be secured — completely violating the spirit of eminent domain, even post-Kelo, and creating a 21st version of the all-encompassing Commerce Clause, while effectively moving toward the nationalization of mortgage lending?” And having re-phrased

“Boehner slams Obama’s ‘arrogance of power’ and ‘lack of leadership'”

Not sure if this was before or after he went and pandered to the Hispanic caucus, but I’m quite certain he’d already told a group of obstreperous Hobbits acting the thorn in his complacent, government-centric orange-ish side, to get their asses in line. And he did this without incident. Once again proving my theory that irony lightning is a myth. Like the Loch Ness Monster. And blue dog Democrats. Or
