NEWT GINGRICH: Regulating your health. Actually I'm less worried about the FDA regulating these apps that I am about them mandating them.
ANOTHER FINE EXAMPLE of liberal projection. Notice that there's not a single factual statement about 'climate change' in the article; it's all about opinion (we're right) and motive (you're evil).
ROBERT ZUBRIN: Putin Adviser Publishes Plan for Domination of Europe. For what it's worth, Stage 1 seems to be right on shedule....
IT HAS TO BE YEARS OF PRACTICE ... Why are liberals so gullible, hypocritical, and dumb?
PUT DOWN THOSE CHEETOS unless they've beein picked from an organically grown environmentally sustainable cheeto bush planted along your bicycle path.
REPUBLICAN TAX PROPOSAL: Flawed, but a step toward a substantial debate. It's a first step, but I still prefer a flat -- or fair (consumption) -- tax.
ERIC HOLDER: State Attorneys General not obligated to defend laws they disagree with (as long as it’s ones banning gay marriage).

A long time ago, in a galaxy (obviously) far away, the Attorney General was obliged to defend a state's laws in court whether or not he personally agreed with it. An honorable (a word which has no meaning now) Attorney General would resign rather than refuse to defend a law he disagreed with.
SUBARU FOR THE WIN: Dealership punches back at union protest with winning sign.
CAN THE FDA AND (THANKFULLY, EX) MAYOR BLOOMBERG BE FAR BEHIND? Saudi cleric issues fatwa banning all-you-can-eat buffets.
ALAN GRAYSON: Just because I abuse my wife doesn't mean the Republicans aren't guilty of a 'war on women'. More here.
OBAMA LAUNCHES “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative. Yes, to keep them on the Democrat's plantation.
WHITE HOUSE EMAIL suggests that most Americans still make the minimum wage. Which is easily proven to be utter baloney, but this is what sticks in my craw:
Raising the federal minimum wage will give millions of Americans a raise, and it’s long overdue — because no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty.
Well, let's see. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour or $15,080 /year. According to the federal government's own poverty guidelines, a single minimum wage earner would not be impoverished; and a two-(minimum)-wage earner family with less than 4 children would not be impoverished. Now go to this post to see that when welfare benefits are added to wages, that two-(minimum)-wage earner family has total income and benefits closing in on $50,000.

Poverty stinks; we all know that. But it's time for an honest discussion, not a war by anecdote.
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE: Hey, let's muzzle political speech.

Not as long as 501(c)(5) organizations (labor unions) continue to get a free pass under the tax code. Treat them exactly the same as 501(c)(4) organizations; then perhaps we can talk.

UPDATE: Here's why.
