WILL OBAMA COMPROMISE? Of course not.

EMILY BAZELON IN SLATE: Why I Don’t Call the Police.

It's interesting reading -- and there are a few good points -- but Bazelon misses the obvious point: that the guilt is hers -- and her fellow progressives -- for creating and maintaining a culture of aggressively belligerent victims, self-entitled to do whatever they want, whenever they want, and with no regard for anyone beyond themselves.

She made the bed, and we're all sleeping in it.

Oh, and read the comments, which are filled with self-centered whiners certain of their status as the center of the universe.

IS IT ANY WONDER that higher education is losing respect? Not to me.

EXCELLENT SHEEP: A mind is a terrible thing to waste at Yale. Recommended for amusement, not content. After reading it twice, I still can't tell whether the reviewer or author, or both, is for elitism, against elitism, or both.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY: the operating room of the future. To quote InstaPundit, "Faster, please."

AM I LUCKY OR WHAT?

I won a Nigerian lottery according to an email from a Nigerian prince.
He holds the sum of ONE MILLION DOLLARS in my name and he wants to send it to me FREE!

All I have to do is give him my bank account numbers and send him $500.00 US dollars cash, to show my good faith so he can transfer the money!

And then I got ANOTHER email.

It's from a KENYAN prince who wants to give me FREE healthcare for life!

All I have to do is give him:

* my BANK ACCOUNT NUMBERS,
* my SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
* my CONFIDENTIAL HEALTH INFORMATION
* and pay $700 per month for a policy with only a $10,000. deductible

Then he can make it happen!

Am I lucky or what?

From my email, naturally....

IF THE CLIMATE MODELS AGREE, then the temperature records must be wrong....

Charlie Martin explains the misconception in the comments.

CNN'S DON LEMON, automatic weapons, and the 'integrity' of the Left.

AT WHAT POINT do you so-called progressives start feeling like suckers? Because, you know, you are.

MITT ROMNEY'S AN OPTIMIST: Obama even worse than he expected.

THE SCOREKEEPER (#10): Nancy Pelosi takes the ice bucket challenge.

THEY'VE RUN OUT of other people's money, so now they're stealing other people's water.

FROM FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY: See, I am prescient. Unfortunately, the image has succumbed somewhat to link rot (the blue line is barely visible), but since 2009, the Obama Approval Index has steadily declined from -10 to -20 today and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has climbed from 9500 in August 2009 to 17000 today.

So roughly speaking, in 5 years Obama's popularity has halved and the DJIA has doubled.

Heh.

FINALLY: George W. Bush takes the ALS Ice Bucket challenge. And Laura Bush takes the cake....

NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. If Voters Need To Be Bribed To Turn Out, Do We Really Want Them Voting? If anything, I would establish some kind of individual initiative (in-person registration; in-person voting) requirement as part of the process.

OUCH! Maureen Dowd disses The Won.

ROGER L. SIMON: The real villain in the Ferguson fiasco. I think he's right; it goes back 50 years.

CAL THOMAS: When fighting the Islamic State, fight to win. No, fight to obliterate it, then salt the earth where it once stood.

IT'S TIME FOR US TO CHANGE:



Bravo! Jason L. Riley would approve.

DAMN, those Chicago teachers make big bucks. That, or teachers union president Karen Lewis lied....
