ROTTEN TO THE CORE: The Feds’ Invasive Student Tracking Database. "Fed Ed is not about excellence or academic achievement. It’s about control, control and more control."

But you can opt out: here's how.

UH HUH. Voter fraud is just a Republican myth.

HMM. Acid rain prevents global warming?

WOMAN TO REP. MORAN: “Why aren’t you pro-choice [on] self-defense for women?” All I can say is I'm glad Mr. Moron Moran isn't my Congresscritter.

MATH IS HARD. Especially for the Washington Post.

FIVE GUYS: ObamaCare will boost burger prices.

YOU PAY YOUR 'FAIR SHARE'; never mind about me.

NOW I KNOW why I can't stand Fox News' Shepard Smith. It's not his snark, arrogance, or complete lack of knowledge of anything useful.

WRONG: We're just one good tax increase away from prosperity.

COMMENT OF THE DAY on the Navy's response to climate change: "Since the oceans are going to be rising, the crow's nest structure will be able to be made shorter, which should save us a TON of money. Don't spread this around, as I got it on the QT from Cong. Hank Johnson, and we wouldn't want our enemies to put this to use before we can."

Congressman Johnson's naval knowledge is on display here.

YOU CAN'T FEED THE HOMELESS -- that's the government's job. Finally some pushback from citizens who aren't sheep.

NYU PROFESSOR: You're just one large soda from being a drunk driver. Well, not exactly. But close enough for government work.

PUBLIC SCHOOL INSANITY: and judging from recent news, they're getting crazier.

I tend to agree with an assertion Reynolds has made on his blog; that it's approaching parental malpractice for a parent to send his child to a public school.

MIGHT WE FAIRLY CONCLUDE ... that, like the collectivized creatures of Animal Farm, some of the rich money in American politics is more equal than others?

IF THEY CAN'T OWN THE PLANTATION, they might leave. Actually, might is the wrong word; will is the correct one. It won't be to become Republicans, it will be to build a new plantation.

JUST NUMBERS.

THE DIFFERENCE between entitlement cuts and entitlement reforms.

And so much for Obama's 'balanced' approach: $530 billion in 'cuts' traded for $680 billion in new taxes. Makes soooo much sense when you realize that the 'cuts' are phantasmal....

OBAMA RATED as the 4th best President ever:

Hard to dispute unbiased research. A study group recently released its findings as to the best presidents of the United States of America . Obama has been rated as the 4th best president ever of 44 presidents: Reagan and 9 others tied for first, 15 presidents tied for second, 18 tied for third, and Obama came in fourth.

From my email.

SURELY YOU JEST.

JAY CARNEY: Organizing For America is ‘no different’ from any other advocacy group.

Except that other advocacy groups don't get regular briefings from the President....

IS OBAMA DOWN FOR THE COUNT?

On paper he’s a bruiser. This is a guy who won a knockout reelection bout even though the economy was in the toilet. He hit the GOP with an uppercut over the Fiscal Cliff. He’s got an awestruck media in his corner that is so enamored of him that after his speeches they need cigarettes and cuddling.

And his most powerful asset is the fact that his opponent is the GOP, an organization whose recent track record of success compares unfavorably with that of the French Army of 1941.

And yet now he’s losing. Big time.

Read it all.
