Compliments of Doug Ross. Don’t despair, though.  Rumor has it that all of Speaker Boehner’s orange tears are being collected in a set of mason jars, and that, with a little work, the US military will be able to develop from them an aerosolized compound that actually forces our enemies to surrender pre-emptively, often before there’s even been mention of a possible dispute. So you see:  Life gives your and

Jim Pethokoukis: I am actually reluctant to comment on Slate’s trolling-masquerading-as-analysis piece “If You Send Your Kid to Private School, You Are a Bad Person.” And I certainly don’t want to spend much time refuting writer Allison Benedikt’s fact-free, data-free “argument”: If more upper-middle class and wealthy parents — a.k.a. Slate readers, I guess — sent their kids to their local public schools, the US education system would suddenly improve. 1.

Pro tip:  when Mother Jones thinks you’re overdoing it with the PC crap — however deftly they try to cover the implication — you’re probably moving so far left so fast that you are in danger of screwing yourself into the ground and burrowing directly through the earth. Which, if you happen to come out in China, well, how apropos. Last Thursday, as the jury in the trial of Nidal

Perception is reality. So if we just control perception, reality disappears — or rather, adheres to the perception we impose on it.  We are the ones we’ve been waiting for, and through our iconography and manufacturing of consent we shall lead ye. Leftists have always believed this.  Without somehow recognizing the enormous folly and gargantuan arrogance and narcissism involved in even countenancing such a dangerous bit of hubris. The Hill:

I can’t be the only one to note this today — though I haven’t really looked around, so I’m going to note it anyway and just hope you don’t mind my adding my two cents — but I find it absolutely repulsive that a man like Jesse Jackson, who stood behind Dr King and who has made a career in the “civil rights movement” has become so corrupt, so morally

Now, before you get too excited, it needs be noted that this Harvard Study did not take into account anecdotal evidence of President Obama’s uncomfortable rides in elevators with white people, nor did it give proper credence to the work of establishment feminists who would point out that the phallic nature of firearms, once normalized and then imposed through a patriarchal culture, leads inevitably to an atmosphere of societal violence

I’m sure he had it coming, if not for showing disrespect, than for the years of oppression his ancestors inflicted on the black man.  Or for his membership in the 1%, hot dog vendors being notorious for not paying their fair share. — Kind of like that white Australian vacationing here who was shot in the back.  I’m sure his ancestors were unkind to the aborigines or the Maoris.  Besides,

So, you know, fuck us. National Review [my emphasis]: The House GOP’s conference call last week turned “ugly,” in the words of one Republican on the call, after Speaker John Boehner announced his intention to pursue a short-term continuing resolution to fund the government, hinting it would not use the bill to pick a fight over the implementation of Obamacare. Representative Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia, one of about a dozen

Of course they do. But until they stop voting for wealthier blacks — or the white plantation owners that crack the identity politics whip for the Democratic Party — they’re out of luck.  Moreover, they have themselves at least partially to blame. The federal government wants control over education.  Teacher’s unions don’t want competition, nor do they wish their members judged with an eye toward the best and brightest, but

I was kinda hoping the list would reach 57.  You know:  One shocking fact for each state.  Or for each spice that keeps our greyhound-faced Secretary of State flush with yacht money, even as the Middle East burns. But beggars can’t be choosers, I guess: Compared to when [Obama] first took office, a smaller percentage of the working age population is employed, the quality of our jobs has declined substantially
