MARK STEYN: "When the state has the capability to know everything except the difference between right and wrong, it won’t end well."

Read it all.
THE STAGNANT MEDITERRANEAN: Short of a Muslim embrace of the modern, there’s no hope for the future.
COMMENT OF THE DAY: "The quickest way to control global warming is to remove grant money for studying it."
NEWT: And the next surprise will be ...?
THE WEEK IN PICTURES, eavesdropping edition.

OBAMA ON SNOOPING: Not 'Big Brother'. Of course not; Big Brother is too paltry for his ambitions.
THE IRS CAN'T PLEAD INCOMPETENCE: If the agency didn't know what it was doing, it wouldn't have done it so well.
MORNING EXAMINER: Do Americans care if Big Brother is watching? I don't think it's about caring as daring. After 4-1/2 years of letting the Obama administration screw up nearly everything, I suspect most Americans have decided to go about their business and dare the feds to do anything about it.
A POLITICAL TIMELINE: President Obama spent months in 2010 warning Americans about the 'threat' to democracy posed by conservative groups, right at the time the IRS began targeting these groups.

And a couple of rogue employees at the IRS 'just happened' to start targeting conservative tax-exempt organizations at the same time. Yeah, that'll work. Remember, a fish rots from the head, not the tail.
NANCY PELOSI ON OBAMACARE: It will cost you more but you'll pay less. Ri-i-ight.
FAA GIVES Eclipse jets a longer lease on life. Interesting, if only because the 'friction stir' welding process apparently lowers production costs.
A NEW HOUSE BILL would task the Department of Health and Human Services with creating exercise guidelines for all Americans. How long do you think it will take to become part of the ObamaCare mandate?
OBAMA'S GOVERNMENT HELPLINE.
