DEMOCRATS: Women earn less than men; blacks earn less than whites; and Hispanics earn least of all.

And it's all the Republicans' fault.
DICK DURBIN TO WALGREENS: You didn't build that. On the plus side, Durbin's argument is more substantive than that of Elizabeth Warren but the negative side is it's a scathing indictment of crony capitalism involving a government that's too damn big.
HEH: Help me stay rich, Colorado. The sad part is that Coloradans probably will.
OBAMA REPEATEDLY TAKES CREDIT for pulling all troops out of iraq ... and yet now he says it “wasn’t his decision.” To be perfectly honest, I suspect that it's the truth -- I doubt the man has ever made a decision in his entire life.

THEY WANTED A BULLET TRAIN: And got one.
THOMAS SOWELL: Attacking Achievement. Because achievers aren't victims.
"THE AMERICAN PEOPLE don't want me just standing around twiddling my thumbs. "Actually, yes ... yes, we do. You are far less dangerous to the Constitution on the golf course than you are in the Oval Office.
TEAMWORK. Democrat tries to 'cozy up' to Republican counterpart. It fails.
HEH: App 1, traditional media 0. Related post is here.
OBAMA: "Is there anything he said in [the 2008] campaign that wasn't a lie?" Or since then, for that matter.
I HAVE FOUR CATS SPIES: How to Use Your Cat to Hack Your Neighbor’s Wi-Fi.
INSTAPUNDIT: "[I]f Gaza turned out like Hamas wants, it would look a lot like the Islamic State in Iraq. If it turned out like Israel wants, it would look a lot like Santa Monica." I prefer Santa Monica.
IT WOULD BE HO-HUM: What If Watergate Happened Today?
