It’s almost like forty acres and a mule. Only, you know, the exact opposite. But don’t worry. There’s a fundamentally transformational tunnel at the end of all this lightbringer light. (thanks to geoffb)

Victor Davis Hanson notes a curious phenomenon: socialism tends to be pushed hardest by those who, when push comes to shove, ask, “wait, you thought we were serious about that…?”

What could possibly go wrong? CNS: “Even though we’ve turned our economy in the right direction over the past couple of years, many Americans are still hurting, and now is the time to focus on nation building here at home,” Obama said before explaining the partnership in his Saturday address. In addition to the 11 corporations, the administration also picked a small group of universities to participate in the government-corporate

For those of you who haven’t already seen it, what follows is video of New York Times columnist and recovering crack addict (NTTAWWTIYKWIMAITYD) David Carr — in an answer to Bill Maher’s assertion that Kansas and Alabama aren’t “smart states” — feigning edgy candor and playing to the progressive base that makes up the vast majority of Maher’s audience: I spoke last week about Deepak Chopra’s strained attempts to throw

It’s the Constitution. Which is old and hasn’t been usefully updated for the 21st century — something we should be doing through social media, starting with archaic and useless institutions like the electoral college, or Senate representation (because clearly it’s unfair that California have 2 senators and Wisconsin have 2 senators when California is bigger).

Before I leave, I did want to direct your attention to what is, in many ways, a very instructive glimpse into the minds of self-appointed, self-deluded, would-be liberal elites,

See? This is what happens when you hand over power to a petulant Marxist boy king: White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley took heat from business executives Thursday for the Obama administration’s regulatory expansions. Daley also said he didn’t have any good answers for some of what President Obama is doing and expressed frustration about the “bureaucratic stuff that’s hard to defend.” “Sometimes you can’t defend the indefensible,” Daley

For what it’s worth: Major General Paul Vallely makes extraordinary claim that every former CIA agent he’s had look at the Obama long-form birth certificate has declared it a forgery. Me, I’m dubious. Releasing a forgery easily identified as such would indicate the President has nothing but enormous contempt for the country and it’s people, and would illustrate an arrogance unheard of in a US President. Ahem. Of course, Obama’s

This just keeps getting better and better. And by better and better, I naturally mean worse and worse. But don’t worry. Your Democratic leaders have their priorities in place. And I, for one, have never felt safer.
