OBAMACARE IS GOING SO WELL we should switch horses in mid-stream.

CAL THOMAS: What will it take for reporters to demand of Obama what they demand of Christie? Answer: forever, without a spine.

THE DEMOCRATS WAR ON INCOME INEQUALITY is actually about taxing the poor to subsidize the rich.

Which may explain why wealthy progressives favor it....

THANKS FOR REMINDING ME of the sleaze Virginia has become.

WORST-OF-THE-WORST in energy efficiency earn LEED's highest --- and meaningless --- rating.

LEEDS certification is not about efficiency; it's about giving the politically correct fancy digs.

WASHINGTON POST: Young adults not signing up for Obamacare. Can I say "I told you so"?

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON reminds us that "'equality' is usually about empowering progressive elites rather than materially helping the poor."

KEVIN D. WILLIAMSON on the progressive's view of Americans:

[Progressives] see the bottom half, and maybe even the bottom 80 percent, of citizens as passive participants in economic life, not people who do things but people to whom things are done, the direct object in Lenin’s summary of politics: “Who?

People cannot be expected to live. It is up to “the nation” to “offer” them life.

For those of Professor Krugman’s persuasion, that usually means taking wealth from politically disfavored holders of it and transferring it to the politically favored, with the permanent class of professional welfare administrators charging a transaction fee in the process....

NOTED FEMINIST attacks feminism: "A Feminist Defense of Masculine Virtues". Conservative commentator Emmett Tyrrell nominates her as woman of the year.

SPACE-X may pick Texas over controversial Merritt Island launch site. It's jobs vs. environmentalism, and the spaceport economy may lose big if the environmentalists win.

I wrote about the Shiloh Launch Complex earlier here.

JAY CARNEY: Robert Gates was wrong.

I WANT ONE OF THESE:

Zombie killer.

HMM. WILL BOEING MOVE FROM SEATTLE? Boeing machinist campaigns to replace national union leaders.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS gotta stop acting like Caspar Milquetoast. Establishment Republicans may still be 'milquetoasty' but I'm seeing more and more indications that the rank-and-file is getting testy.
