And we’re off…

I’ll be spending most of today on the road driving north through the snow to Greeley, where the family will be staying overnight in a hotel in preparation for a 6-8 pm weigh-in and a 7am Sunday morning start time for Jr State Wrestling Championships at the University of Northern Colorado. I’ll be coaching for the Frederick club, and Satchel will be wrestling for Frederick Elite as the number 2

“They call it the affordable health plan. There is nothing ‘affordable’ about it. I can’t afford it.” [Darleen Click]

Unfortunately, these people still believe the unconscionable raise in the cost of their healthcare is a bug, not a feature

Obama tries to perform without TOTUS … [Darleen Click]

Fry cook asks Obama about getting cut back to part time b/c of Obamacare, Obama tells him Congress needs to pass a minimum wage increase — BuzzFeed Benny (@bennyjohnson) January 31, 2014 Oh.My.

Suddenly serious topic: is the GOP on a suicide mission?

Ann Coulter, who assured us that Mitt Romney was more conservative than Reagan and that Chris Christie — who, when he isn’t supping with Obama and the Chinese in the White House, or blubbering over Bruce Springsteen noticing his fat ass, is preaching bipartisan compromise with unbridled and unabashed collectivism, supporting mosques at Ground Zero, and rushing to implement a state health care exchange after refusing to sign on to

There are eight million stories in the naked city.

And if my calculations are correct, each one of those mundane little bastards owes $112.5 mil in unfunded liabilities. So some of those stories had better get to work saving. The government’s charity and compassion and welcoming of the huddled masses yearning to work cheaply and off the books on roofs or hanging drywall isn’t just going to pay for itself, you know.

California’s Clown Car: Sandra Fluke considering run for Henry Waxman’s office [Darleen Click]

I didn’t even know she lived in California … Sandra Fluke, the birth-control activist who helped Democrats launch their “Republican war on women” theme in the 2012 elections, is reported to be considering a run for the seat being vacated by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA). Waxman announced his retirement after 20 terms in the U.S. House on Thursday morning. Fluke, who reports her profession as “Social Justice Attorney,” is from

Breaking: “20-term California Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman to retire”

20 terms. 20. As in, around since the Ford Administration. I’d say that the founders would turn over in their graves if they ever thought a creature the likes of Waxman would become such a political institution — or that a free people would enable him to do so — but the fact of the matter is, they all turned over long ago, and at this point, they’re probably just

OUTRAGE: MSNBC may have an anti-conservative bias!

I mean, a leftist “news” organization dedicated almost solely to its smallish progressive viewer base (and I suppose at least a few of those pragmatic conservatives who would invite Joe Scarborough to speak at a conference on the future of conservatism) declaring in advance that the wingnuts, with their knuckledragging flyover “values,” would protest or violently denounce a SuperBowl cereal ad featuring a bi-racial couple because, well, conservatives hate them

Hollywood Hypocrites. Or, oh shut up already, you preening phony assholes

Say what you will about Salinger, but his Holden Caulfield had these types pegged. Like, pinioned. To that Styrofoam board used by bug collectors to stick needles through the elytra of a prepared beetle. Of course, hypocrisy doesn’t count when you’re an antifoundationalist. And antifoundationalism is really just an excuse to do anything you want and justify it without having to worry about Enlightment constructs like intellectual consistency, constancy, or

SOTU Address postmortem: a nano analysis

Yeah. Like I bothered watching that horseshit.
