“How to serve a warrant: 1972 versus today, by Lt. Harry Thomas”

The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is Rapidly fadin’ And the first one now Will later be last for the times they are a-changin.

“Freedom ain’t passed through the blood stream. Unless you buy the good shit and snort it.”

A broader overview of Levin’s Liberty Amendments project

FOXNews’ Sean Hannity hosted an hour-long special on Mark Levin’s Liberty Amendments project, spelled out in his new best-seller The Liberty Amendment:  Restoring the American Republic, in which Levin explained his project and was then queried by a host of conservatives (many, of course, regular FOX contributors, and all pre-disposed to find at least some agreement with Levin’s ideas). Among those in the studio audience were David Limbaugh, Terry Jeffrey

WaPo Quest columnist Brenda Howard on how tough it is to be a Trayvon Martin supporter among moral inferiors [Darleen Click]

Weep for Brenda as she quits her job over the desktop hoodie on her company computer. I needed to do something. The Monday after the trial ended, I went to my job at a small doctor’s office and made my computer desktop wallpaper (which was not viewable to the public) an image of a hoodie. This image had sprung up on the Internet and social media as an expression of

Obama already legislates from the White House [Darleen Click]

So why shouldn’t he just rewrite the Constitution, too? President Obama on Saturday offered one of his strongest defenses to date of his signature domestic achievement, lambasting Republican critics of his health care law as obstructionists who are playing politics with the well-being and economic security of millions of Americans. In blunt terms, Mr. Obama used his weekly address to describe health insurance as a “right” and distinguished states that

Free markets and greedy private citizens could never build a house like The State can [Darleen Click]

Just look at what $600,000 of taxpayer money will get you. The Homeland Security Department spent $600,000 apiece to build houses in Arizona that would have gone for less than $100,000, according to a report in the Arizona Republic that’s raising questions in Congress. […] The Republic said Homeland Security built 21 homes and bought 20 other mobile homes for $15 million. Comparable homes go for between $70,000 and $100,000,

A Tale of Two Reactions: Oprah, Jase Robertson, and the liberal media outrage machine

First, there’s the new Medal of Freedom recipient, Oprah Winfrey, whose courage in the face of liking cake and learning to love herself for the billionnairess that she is has provided feminists everywhere with a playbook for turning public insecurity into its own form of empowerment. As you know doubt heard, Oprah was wrongly racially profiled by racist Swiss sales clerk in a degrading Pretty Women moment, told she couldn’t

Question: could this be a sign the NSA is listening in on my actual phone calls…

…and maybe even has me under direct surveillance? I don’t want to come across as paranoid, or be accused of being part of the black helicopter crowd, who we know believe that the Jews, in league with extraterrestrials, are using advanced joint Israeli/otherworldly technologies to keep the Palestinians in poverty, run the world banks, control the world media, and corner the global markets on gold, precious metals, and Avril Lavigne

“Fed admits QE does almost nothing”

Well, not really “nothing.”  I mean, it’s actually been quite effective as a scheme to enrich cronies in exchange for a later collapse in the currency and inflation that will essentially end the US economy.  Which is a tradeoff their willing to make. So let’s not be too quick to judge.  NetRightDaily: [my emphasis] “[W]e estimate that the second LSAP program, known as QE2, added about 0.13 percentage point to

“Stunning new study dismantles Obama’s ‘1% vs. 99%’ inequality argument”

Wait. There was an argument attached to that propagandist catch phrase? And here I thought it was all about selling bumper stickers to clueless morons who like to wear the trappings of political activism without having to do the difficult work of knowing what the fuck it is they’re talking about. Guess I have egg on my face! Pethokoukis: “This growing inequality,” President Obama said during his recent Knox College
