Well then. He can’t be authentically black, then, can he, making such an argument?  Forcing people into indentured servitude because you’ve laid claim to a positive right is hardly slavery, though, is it? Rather, it’s social justice. Like looting, only with a political party all agreeing that, given the circumstances, looting is really nothing more than a kind of private-sector charitable donation. So, you know. EAT THE RICH!

I know.  Try to contain your shock. It’s unsightly.

Or, to put it in more proper terms, the House GOP offers unconditional surrender in exchange for a slowdown in the rate of increased deficit spending. Even better, try this one:  the House GOP offers surrender in exchange for fig leaf we can all see their shriveled junk right through. If — and there’s some people who are saying that the AP sources are wrong on this, so let’s take

Of course, this is not something that is reserved especially for gun facts.  Most all facts, as it happens, cause this group of sneering, self-satisfied, cloistered morons to instantly flop sweat.  Which is why they are so carefully kept from the show’s panels and hosts. When they aren’t, this happens: Ouch. Somebody at MSNBC is going to lose a job over this.

Geraghty, Morning Jolt: I know you’re probably growing tired of “the Obamacare health-insurance exchange websites don’t work” stories but this one leaves you gasping, “What?” Amid all the attention, bugs, and work happening at Healthcare.gov in light of the Affordable Care Act, potential registrants talking to phone support today have been told that all user passwords are being reset to help address the site’s login woes.
