OH, MY: Democrat lawmaker may commute to work from jail.

AS OF LAST FRIDAY: "It’s been 42 years since Apollo 17 commander Gene Cernan climbed up the ladder of his lunar module, leaving the final human footprint in a patch of lunar soil."

It's time to go again.

GOOD NEWS FROM CONGRESS: "It turns out the $1.1 trillion Christmas Tree -- er, budget -- Congress passed over the weekend isn't all pork barrels and cave-ins to President Obama."

SMALL BUSINESS REGULATIONS: Obama red tape exceeds Bush level.

Even the Bush level regulations were excessive....

EARLIER TODAY I suggested that the Democrat party should be renamed the Childrens' party. This video, however, suggests that I should have picked one of my more obvious alternatives:



Sen. Chris Murphy (D[umb]-CT) appears to be unaware that the Sydney killer, along with his fellow traveler in the Navy Yard killing, used an ordinary, run-of-the-mill shotgun.

FROM MY EMAIL:

Now let me see if I have this right. The family situation is so unstable, 'Junior' doesn't even know where to send a Father's Day card. There's no guidance or discipline in the home. Junior gets dumped into the education system where he is socially promoted because the overwhelmed school district can't deal with the undisciplined whelp. Junior's major formative influences are 'gangsta' rap videos and a corresponding peer group of gangsta wannabes.

At age 18, Junior is turned loose on society carrying a bad attitude, a broken compass and little respect for authority. Junior gets himself in big trouble with the law and meets dire consequences. Then, the situational diagnosis is that the police need more training and understanding.

Pardon me for asking, but do you really believe that bullshit?

But, but ... he's a victim don'cha see?

IT'S NOT TOO LATE:

Get your subsidy now....

RANDOM THOUGHTS from the retirement lane. Given the ongoing meltdown of Democrats during and after the mid-term elections, perhaps it's time to consider renaming their party. "Dimocrats" and "Dumbocrats" come easily to mind. "Flat Out Bonkers" is descriptive, but the more I think about it, "Children's" party seems right. It accurately describes the whining, foot-stomping, and tantrums and, on the positive side, children have been known to grow up.

Any other suggestions?

WILL THE LAST DEMOCRAT please turn out the lights?

SURPRISED? Obama's 2014 year of redemption didn't quite go as planned. Prediction: the door to 'out' will be slammed on his backside multiple times over the next two years.

CHUCK SCHUMER: Elizabeth Warren is no Ted Cruz. Of course not; she's a Democrat and Democrats can't be criticized.

YOU'RE WELCOME: Under Obama, the wealth gap widens between whites and minorities.

On the bright side, President Obama has succeeded in increasing the size of the Democrat plantation....

QUESTION: Why aren't millennials spending? Answer: They're broke.
