OBAMA'S CHILDREN ARE PROTECTED.



Are yours?

DEMOCRATS: Yes, let's hold the debt ceiling hostage.

Heh.

OBAMA, RACE AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: Why the Second Term Will Be Worse (Part I) and (Part II).

OF COURSE: Let's disarm the victims.

CHUCK HAGEL: A man to watch -- carefully.

HISTORICAL FACTS that aren't.

THE PUBLIC INAUGURATION of a new moral McCarthyism.

BEING 'HIP': talking about the people means it is OK to live unlike the people.

FAA TO PILOTS: Don't text and fly.

SOON TO COME: the Inflatable Space Station.

A LONG, LONG TIME AGO ... there were 'public servants'. In a galaxy far away.

THE GREAT AMERICAN GUN FRENZY:

Why would people buy a type of firearm — “assault rifles” — that might become illegal to own? Why buy something that might soon be taken from them?

These gun buyers suspect that whatever legislation comes into existence will not grab the guns they now buy. It will not be a confiscation. In America, with over 300 million guns in private hands, that would be too difficult to manage. Buying a gun now that will soon be merely prohibited from future production, purchase and sale makes sense.

The impetus for this gun-buying surge? It’s more than the lure of the forbidden, or soon-to-be forbidden. It’s more, also, than an urge to get something valuable now before it becomes too expensive — or even nearly impossible to get, legally — later. At least part of the motivation comes from a desire to put as much firepower and weaponry into private hands as possible . . . while it remains possible.

Bingo! Read it all.

PROSPECTING FOR OIL OR GOLD? Check the time.

THERE'S DOPING ...

... and then there are just dopes.

GO TO SCHOOL with the gang of your choice.

Instead of appropriately dealing with gang-related violence, an independent Chicago school closure commission is recommending no school closures because such a move could force students to cross gang lines.

So in Chicago, gang violence is the “new normal” and instead of combating and gaining some control over the problem, city leaders are simply accommodating it.

Wow. Gangs of street punks are now influencing public policy and million dollar decisions. It looks like they really have won.

Gang leadership ... the Chicago way.

PAUL KRUGMAN: The Mostly Solved Deficit Problem. Read the comments. Then throw in the trillion dollar platinum coin and the 14th Amendment solutions, and you're left with the powerful impression that Democrats shouldn't even be allowed to play with Monopoly money.

HEH. "I don't think I've entered the political arena. As a blogger, it's more like I'm sitting in the bleachers throwing rotten tomatoes. Need more tomatoes."

"[W]HO CARES ABOUT FACTS, when you are on a liberal crusade that makes you feel morally superior?"

WHEN WILL Barack Obama contribute his ‘fair share'? My guess? Just before Hell freezes over.

CONNECTICUT GOVERNOR: “We have different laws that make it substantially easier to buy weapons without sufficient background checks in states like Virginia, and Florida, because we’re on I-95, the road system that runs from Florida through — through Maine, we’re going to see those weapons come into our state. Let’s close those loopholes.”

"The common factor seems to be I-95. I would support closing it, and shutting down the entire Department of Transportation death machine."
