WILL NO ONE rid me of this turbulent group? The President is now finding out that the chickens always come home to roost.

Those who fail to learn from history are always condemned to repeat it.
FIVE WAYS Obama can restore the public's trust and rescue his presidency. Nope. There's only one way: resign and let Joe Biden try to rescue it.
WHEN OBAMACARE IS FULLY IMPLEMENTED, you'll only be 13% more likely to die. That is, if ObamaCare follows the same trajectory as Medicaid -- and it will.
THERE'S NOTHING better than pissing off gun owners. I suspect Cody Wilson (Defense Distributed) basically has it right: "We win."

CNC (computer numerical control) machines aren't that hard to come by, and a reasonably competent hobbyist can build a crude one with a little assistance from Radio Shack and Home Depot.
AIAA: Pitcairn Field #2 In Pennsylvania To Be Designated a Historic Aerospace Site.
On December 18, 1928, Arthur Rawson, a factory pilot for the Cierva Autogiro Company, and then Harold F. Pitcairn, flew a Cierva C.8W Autogiro from Building #3 at Pitcairn Field #2. The flights marked the first time a rotary-wing aircraft was successfully flown in the U.S.
The autogiro is the predecessor of the modern day helicopter.
HOLDER: We’ve Droned 4 Americans, 3 by Accident. Oops.

That number is more than the number of terrorists waterboarded by former President Bush.
OBAMACARE: now even the health insurers are opting out.
REPORT: ‘Rogue’ IRS Workers Were Following Orders. And I suspect we're about to find out whose orders....
FOX NEWS CONFIRMS IRS official Lois Lerner placed on administrative leave. I wonder how she likes it under Obama's bus. And will she keep silent? If Republicans are smart, she won't.

Update: with pay, apparently.
TRITON TAKES FLIGHT: Navy's Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) program is underway.
JUST BECAUSE the jackboots are high heels doesn't make them less painful.

More on HHS intimidation here.
DUMPSTER DIVING FOR DIRT: business as usual for Democrats.
THE POWER OF DRUDGE: A Little Civics Lesson For Janet Napolitano And Barack Obama.
DEFINE AND CONQUER. This is why there can be no accomodation with this presidential administration.
NO, NO ... the IRS doesn't have a political agenda.
JOHN MCCAIN wants to lower your cable bill. Lowering my cable bill would be nice, but what I really want is to get rid of those hundreds of channels that only exist because of government-mandated bundling.

I can do without my life being 'improved' by government mandate....
THE OREGON MEDICAID STUDY: a reason the rethink health care, not rethink ObamaCare. Cohn's half-right; it's reason to rethink health care -- and Obamacare.

I think Cohn is stretching to find support for ObamaCare in the Oregon data. It seems to me that what the Oregon study really tells us is that 'healthcare' is a liberal chimera.
