Symbolism rising, 2 [updated]

Humans, by virtue of breathing, are walking pollutants. At least, according the EPA. Who has taken to regulating us as such. The Republicans want to roll that back — and will introduce legislation to do so — and thereby strip the EPA of some of its regulatory authority. Which makes sense, given that the left’s bureaucratic maneuverings are where they seem to do their real legislating. Obama will veto any

“Reporters, including CNN’s Cooper, beaten in Egypt”

Of course, not by the peaceful protesters just yearning for self-government and individual liberty. No. Because we all know the only thuggery exists on the side of the government who has insisted for years that it’s just not right to try to eliminate the Jews. Theater. In a way, Cooper got lucky. Had the little swish visited Egypt once the Muslim Brotherhood takes power he likely would have been buried

Oh!

Lookit at who’s catching TEA Party fever! And look who isn’t: Battle lines being drawn….

The final outcome of this case in a very real sense is a referendum on our Constitutional republic — with one man, Anthony Kennedy, eventually going to decide the fate of our experiment in self-governance.

Nothing says “happy birthday” quite like shoveling the driveway in -35 windchill, followed by a trip to the MVA to renew your driver’s license

So. Happy birthday to me. Meh.

About that individual mandate

“Fla. judge sides with 26 states, strikes down Obama health care plan as unconstitutional”.
