VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Occupy What? Be sure to read the comments.
DOUBLING DOWN ON STUPID: Government violations of current gun laws proves the need for harsher gun laws.

English translation: the fact that what we tried to do didn't work is proof that we need more money, more power, more control to double down on the same stupid thing that didn't work in the first place.

Democrats are learning disabled.
MARK STEYN: Standing with "the 99%" means supporting the destruction of civilized society.
JOHN C. GOODMAN: Are We Going Bankrupt? Not really; we're already there.
I'M WITH STUPID.
JOHN RANSOM: The Worst of All Possible Presidents. Diamond would be a much better President. Even a sack of hammers would be an improvement.
MARINES WARNED: Don't spit toward Mecca. Lucky for me, I guess, is that none of my toilets point east.
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES: Wind Farms Blow U.S. Off the Radar? Long-range surveillance radars depend on a 'clean' horizon; 'twinkling' wind farms aren't helpful.
POOR RICHARD on Occupy Wall Street.
MITT ROMNEY is beginning to sound like a real conservative candidate. It sounds like he's taking the Tea Party seriously, but I still want to see details on his plans for tax reform and downsizing government.
CLEVER: GOP plan ties road projects to oil drilling. I'd rather see the federal government out of the act altogether, but this is at least a way to increase energy production and tie the revenue stream to something useful.
LIBERAL FLACK FLAKE on jobs report:
Monthly report out tomorrow. Absent genuinely good news I will root for a measurement which looks bad. A moderately not awful number like +100K jobs will help to convince our overlords that there's nothing more to be done, but numbers like that keep us at 9%+ unemployment forever.
Translation to English: If the numbers are good, justified or not, I will use them to praise the Obamessiah. If they aren't good, justified or not, I will dig deeply to find something, anything, to scorn the Republicans.
