BEST COMMENT: "If Pajama Boy had been on the Titanic, I doubt anyone would have questioned his getting on a lifeboat that was reserved for women and children, although they may have had some problems figuring out which category he fit into." Now guess the subject of the PowerLine post.

JONAH GOLDBERG: 'Real' rednecks must be politically correct.

OBAMACARE: Another day, another broken promise. And I suspect that many of those people who choose the 'catastrophic care' option aren't going to want to give it up in 2015.

ObamaCare's complete collapse is only months away. The job of the Republican 114th Congress will be to manage the clean-up and recovery.

DUCK DYNASTY: No Phil, no show.

TRIUMPH OF THE ELOI:

Among the many appalling traits of the modern Left — and they are legion — their fatuous air of unearned moral superiority has got to be among the most annoying. Sheltered, protected, coddled from birth, shepherded through a credentialing system along with thousands, perhaps millions, of like-minded clones, they are the children of the bubble, swathed in their footie pajamas, cuddling their cups of hot chocolate, and dreaming of that well remunerated regulatory job in the imperial capital that surely awaits them. Grow up? Why bother? Life is so much easier when you know absolutely nothing of it.

"It’s enough to make you root for the Morlocks."

NEW YORK TIMES NOTICES HOT NEW TREND: County sheriffs are ignoring gun control laws.

But they haven't yet noticed that President Obama has been ignoring his own ObamaCare legislation....

Strange.

WHITE HOUSE ADVISOR thinks Republicans are 'a cult worthy of Jonestown'.

John Podesta needs to be reminded that Jim Jones was a committed Leftist.

LASER WARFARE GETTING CLOSE: Army Truck Shoots Drones, Mortars With Lasers.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, all you insurance companies who were dumb enough to believe me: Insurers fume as ObamaCare mandate, rules relaxed.

MORE FAILURES IN GREEN TRANSPORTATION: Even electric bicycles and tricycles aren't garnering much support.

Worldwide, Team Hope'nChange is having trouble competing in the marketplace.

LOST IN SPACE: China just landed on the moon. Is the United States losing its edge? Not yet, but if I were a wannabe astronaut, I'd be learning to speak Mandarin....

WHY ARE LIBERAL MEN UNHAPPY?

[T]he liberal male often spends his relational life walking on eggshells, dating women and living in cultures that are constantly calling out any kind of behavior subjectively perceived as “male” or oppressive. So if a man gets angry at a woman, he’s just “mansplaining.” A man who asks for fidelity is “slut-shaming.” Assertions of will are subject to “privilege checks.” To enter the world of academia, for example, is to enter a world of social rules and customs that are impossibly complex because propriety is always dictated by the subjective feelings of the most traditionally powerless person in the room. The language of equality is a mere mask for a new hierarchy that explicitly seeks to place the male (especially the white male) at the bottom.

Heh.

NEWT GINGRICH: Waste Beyond Belief.

In my new book, Breakout, I describe three kinds of breakdown in government: the breakdown in simple competence, the breakdown in common sense and defined purpose, and the breakdown in the rule of law. We see all of them in this report.

The failures of Big Government are nothing new; it's simply that the astounding incompetence of the Obama administration has made it obvious to even the most casual observer.

IT'S NOT ABOUT HEALTH CARE, IT'S ABOUT CONTROL: Smoking, obesity, other health issues could mean paying more under ObamaCare.

It's always been about control.
