WE ARE GOING TO HURT YOU: Memo Proves that Obama Admin Wants to Make the Sequester Cuts Hurt So Bad.

“We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that ‘APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide fundingto cover the costs.’ So it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be.”

Chicago style.

THE SWEET SMELL OF VICTORY: Obama Suffers a Painful Loss in the First Big Fiscal Battle of His Second Term.

Enjoy it while we can.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: only it was accomplished before she became First Lady.

GUN CONTROLLERS: be more like Virginia.

NOTE: I voted against Tim Kaine for Senator, but as Governor of Virginia, he was at least a persuadable Democrat.

HEH: No golf for Obama until White House tours resume.

CALIFORNIA: the real train to nowhere.

THE WAGES OF SIN (CIGARETTE) TAXES:

Many of you reading this no doubt are cheering the authorities on. If it makes you feel better, that’s fine. But don’t delude yourselves into thinking government is going to stop at simply gouging taxpayers who smoke. The drive to control what you ingest, what you eat, what you drink, will use the tax system to whip you into shape. Snacks are the next target of the busybodies. Red meat is in the crosshairs as well. Restaurant meals will become more and more expensive, eventually being a luxury that all but the richest among us will be able to afford.

They won’t stop at cigarettes because this is not about your health, it’s about them gaining the power to control you. You are too stupid to know what’s best for you, so someone has to save you from your own human frailty.

That's right. It's not about sin -- or even taxes -- it's about control.

SCENES FROM THE SEQUESTROCALYPSE: TSA to spend $50 million on new uniforms. And the White House is canceling tours.

Oh, this is gonna hurt!

STEPHEN GREEN: Government by temper tantrum.

Where are the adults?

PHOTO CAPTION CONTEST WINNERS – White House Threatens Woodward: ‘You Will Regret Doing This’. My favorite:

Nixon: I am not a crook.
Obama: I am not a crock.

Read the rest.

GOOD NEWS: Hugo Chavez has finally kicked the can according to a Fox News alert. Good riddance.

OH, PLEASE: A 2% sequestration is going to cause a four year gap in weather satellite coverage?

DANG! That sequestration didn't sequester hard enough: FAA overstates tower layoffs.

IT’S BEEN A BAD COUPLE OF WEEKS for the fruit-juice vegan energy set.

NOTHING ELSE WORKED, so let's revive the "It's Bush's fault" meme. Sheila Jackson Lee isn't the best congresscritter to deliver the message, though.

CALIFORNIA'S 'green jobs' rush -- to oblivion.

NO FUN ALLOWED when you're in the air.

HA! Barack Obama a ‘dithering, controlling, risk-averse’ US president.

TIMES CHANGE -- unless you're a progressive yearning for the 'good old days'.

John Fund also comments.

BOEING ENGINEERING UNION to drop pension demand. It's beginning to look like unions -- or at least private unions -- are beginning to recognize the reality of mathematics.

ABC NEWS edits Michelle Obama gun gaffe. I suppose it could be 'lack of time' but I think it's more likely that ABC recognized the willful ignorance of the gun-grabbing Left.
