MILITARY COMMISSIONS: WE’RE BACK

President Obama is expected to announce the administration's decision to restart Bush-era military tribunals for a small number of Guantanamo detainees Friday.

Every Obama promise comes with an expiration date - every one.

OBMACARE IS COMING TO A STORE NEAR YOU

According to a letter from the FDA, General Mills’ advertising violates the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The agency said claims that Cheerios ingredients can lower cholesterol within a certain amount of time, all while providing cancer-fighting and heart-healthy benefits, essentially makes Cheerios ‘a drug’ by their definition. And no drug in this country can be legally marketed without an approved new drug application.”

”The U.S. Senate is considering levying a tax on sugary soft drinks to help pay for the overhaul of the nation's healthcare system, political sources say. Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, told the Journal the tax would be fair because such drinks drive up health costs for everyone by contributing to obesity, diabetes and other illnesses.”

Nothing is safe from the health police.

Soon you’ll have to swipe your ObamaCare card for permission to buy Cheerios ... or a soft drink.

And we pay for this?

ELEVATOR TALK

Standing in the elevator at work yesterday listening to the riders, it came to me: the District of Columbia (DC) should change its name, to either the District of Arrogance (DA) or District of Snobs (DS).

Arrogance is ill-becoming. So is snobbery.

Or maybe we should just recognize that political correctness has run amuck in the District and just call it PCDC.
