BLACKS FLEE BLUE STATES IN DROVES. "Disaster is too kind a word for what the blue social model has (inadvertently) built in America’s cities. No wonder that to be young, gifted and Black today means fleeing the consequences of blue social policy as fast as you can." Read it all.

THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY: There is no money. Oh, I’ll get mine - because I’ll die before your kids quit paying into the kitty that supports me. But they won’t get theirs because Ponzi schemes always go bust when the supply of suckers runs out.

OBAMA'S LOST THAT LOVING FEELING: "Campaign 2008 was an air-filled souffle of a moment. And souffles don’t rise twice."

EVERY TIME I leave the parking garage from work the meter advises me to ‘Drive Safely’. And everywhere I go I’m surrounded by gratuitous advice dispensers - on TV, on the radio, in the newspaper, on my restaurant menu, in the mail. How long will it be until my alarm clock advises me not to get out of bed until I’m fully awake?

PROGRESSIVE, SUCKER, VICTIM, WHINER: what’s the difference?

MY TAXPAYER DIED: the limits of government growth.

UPDATE TO my 'going Galt' post: I've also noticed that the nagging lower back pain has gone away now that I no longer have to bear the crushing burden of Obama's "taxes on the rich."

WILLIAM J. LEDERER wrote a book about America titled A Nation of Sheep (1961); Judge Andrew Napalitano reused the title in 2007. I was going to ask who’s going to write A Nation of Wimps, but Hara Estroff Marano already has.

EXPORTING MANUFACTURING: Ford’s most advanced assembly plant operates in rural Brazil.

Is this why Brazil hates us? Or a new beginning with our neighbors in the south?

CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR. Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson confirms his misunderstanding of the Constitution.

The far-right ideologues in the House seek to starve the federal government to the point where it can no longer fulfill its constitutional duty to promote the general welfare.

And with that simple statement, Robinson finally comes close - no cigar, but close - to understanding the Tea Party objections to the tenets of progressivism. Those "far-right ideologues" - myself included - simply don't believe that promoting the general welfare includes controlling the most minute details of every individual's life.

WHY I LIKE MY ATTORNEY GENERAL: Personal protection is “good and sufficient reason” for carrying a gun to church.

WE SCREWED UP; now take your punishment.

If politicians in Washington spend too much and cause more red ink, which happens on a routine basis, Obama wants a provision that automatically would raise taxes on the American people.

Politicians play, taxpayers pay.

ACTUALLY IT'S 'POSEUR' but, well, yeah.

POLITICS, PROPAGANDA - and control. We’d be much better off as a nation without all the damned “public service” announcements.

USE THE DEBT CEILING to 'punish our enemies'. The Washington Examiner's David Freddoso thinks the idea is tongue-in-cheek, but I’m not so sure. The Obama administration has been willing to use gangster tactics in the past.

LOCALLY gasoline is up over $4/gal for premium; regular is $3.82. Could that be why the inflation rate is nearing 10%?

It looks more and more like a Jimmy Carter rerun is a best-case scenario.

DRINKING ALCOHOL primes certain areas of our brain to learn and remember better. It's a study from The University of Texas at Austin. I'm sure they would like to believe that they learn and remember better.
