Our ruling class knows what is best for you 'little people'.

UNEXPECTEDLY: Another state extends ObamaCost (formerly ObamaCare) deadline.

POWERLINE'S JOHN HINDERAKER rips the Washington Post a new ... uh, well, you know what.

FROM INSTAPUNDIT: Michelangelo's David Has a Right to Bear Arms. Actually, an obligation.

SOLVING THE COLLEGE TUITION CRISIS: just make it free. Other people's money is so-o-o easy to spend.

[C]olleges and universities can 'produce the musicians, writers, philosophers, scientists, and visionaries ... of tomorrow' without encumbering them with high tuition or massive debt.

Uh, huh: Remember Nancy Pelosi on ObamaCare freeing 'musicians, writers, philosophers, etc.' to pursue their dreams without having to worry about paying for their healthcare? Or paying for this loon to pursue a Ph.D.?

Sorry, but I prefer this approach.

UNEXPECTEDLY: NYC bike-share program in financial trouble. The Left cannot seem to come to grips with the fact that their 'do-good' schemes are almost always certain to fail.

POWERLINE: Why the Alarmists’ Climate Models Are Worthless.

Or as I've always said, if you can't explain it on the back of an envelope, it ain't science.

CRONY CAPITALISM GOVERNMENT: Union representatives join federal government safety inspectors on site visits to nonunion businesses.

NEWT GINGRICH: Rand Paul is right.

ILLINOIS GOV. PAT QUINN: A $10/hour minimum wage is a principle as old as the Bible.

I didn't know a 40-hour workweek was standard in Biblical times....

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-SANTA BARBARA feminist professor Mireille Miller-Young charged with one misdemeanor count each of theft, battery and vandalism in a confrontation with pro-life teen. Now it time for the UCSB administration to step up (but they won't).

RAMIREZ: a well-deserved honor.

SATURDAY MORNING:

Shadow, Daisy, and Diamond sleeping in.

OBAMACARE: The individual mandate is weak -- and unenforceable.

DAVID FRENCH: A win for academic freedom. A solid shot across the bow, but it will take some direct hits to dissuade the academic Left.

IT’S COME TO THIS: Leftist groups now offering young people cash prizes to enroll in Obamacare. And if you win, you can almost afford the premium for the first few months.

THE LATEST DIY CRAZE: brain hacking. I don't know whether to laugh or cry....

WE NEED more of this in politics.

HEH: Green 'gasholes' wage war on American natural gas.
