UC Berkeley illegal alien students “F**k your ‘loans’. Just hand over the damned money.” [Darleen Click]

Takes “entitlement mentality” to a whole other level. Less than a week after receiving more information regarding the allocation of UC President Janet Napolitano’s $5 million initiative to aid undocumented students, UC Berkeley administrators are already developing a plan to fund enhanced student services and expand financial aid opportunities for these individuals. Napolitano outlined the allocation of the initiative in a letter sent to the chancellors Dec. 18. According to

SHOCKER: “2013 Gun Sales Set New Record”

Evidently, there are lots of what are old friend (and one of my personal stalkers) Timmah might call “gun fetishists” starting to stockpile the hardware for personal, family, home, and property protection. I guess maybe they think the Democrats who keep insisting nobody is going to take their guns are the same Democrats who told them they’d be able to have free healthcare, keep their doctors, get cheap coverage even

The ice age we were promised in the 70s was upon us

…has shown up 40-years later. And is of course caused by anthropogenic global warming — which we were only recently told had beset us — either of which can only be forestalled by massive global wealth redistribution and the end of industry, without which, to borrow from a desperately rationalizing Bill Murray in Stripes, “all the the plants will die.” Here’s the truth, though: the weather is controlled by the

On “income inequality”

— which even such supposedly fiscal-minded Republicans, most notably Paul Ryan, have conceded is concerning, I have but this to say: like minimum wage increase arguments, “income inequality” arguments are populist horse shit and, if we had a party that represented the ideals of this country, and wasn’t simply an opposition party solely for the purposes of being an opposition party and awaiting turns in public sentiment (and the paucity

Everything old and sucky is new and sucky again

So let’s not try to reinvent the wheel here in our response to the latest iteration of leftist populism. Instead, let’s discuss the unassailable logic redounding against mandatory minimum wage hikes — that forcing companies to pay more for what are supposed to be entry level jobs means they are less likely to hire entry level employees to take those jobs; and that the more money a company is forced

“decade: a haiku”

For Satchel, on his 10th birthday. Ten years ago you came crying into our lives. We’ve smiled ever since. **** Happy birthday, son. Your mother and I love you and couldn’t be prouder of the young man you’ve become.

It’s never too soon to begin the “inevitability” push

— Although I can think of pictures I’d rather get on a holiday card than a gloating sack of meatball sub, fresh off of giving out of state tuition prices to illegals that US citizens hoping to attend New Jersey universities don’t receive (their being a group that needn’t be pandered to, I suppose) preening with his family after pleasing enough east coast liberal Democrats and “pro-business” GOP crony capitalists

“Colorado Democrat fires gay aide allegedly for visiting Republican office”

But before you start bitching, let’s look at the plus side, here.   At least Democrat state Senator Irene Aguilar didn’t shoot the homosexual (potential) turncoat and insufficient party zealot. And who can we thank for that?  Why, the brave Colorado Democratic lawmakers who took a wildly unpopular stand on new, overweening, liberty-squelching gun control measures and acted against the public’s wishes so that they wouldn’t have the ready means  to

Your friends, the establishment Republicans

“Guess Who’s Funding the Republican Civil War:  Labor unions. And they’re doing it through a pro-business Republican PAC”: The Republican Main Street Partnership has emerged as an outspoken, deep-pocketed player in pro-business GOP plans to beat back tea-party challengers next year. But the group’s new super PAC has an unexpected source for its seed money: labor unions. The super PAC, called Defending Main Street, has not yet submitted a major

You, sir, are a racist!

If, as even a mild fan of this site and its years’ long crusade against linguistic abuses and the pernicious and cynical assignation of malign motives by way of self-serving antifoundationalist narrative conceit so easily adopted and institutionalized by the left (and, sadly, now being used more and more by an unprincipled “pragmatic” right to marginalize its own base), you only read one thing today — other than this, directing
