FROM MY EMAIL: Thoughts on ‘EmailGate’.
On Hillary's statement that (most of) her official emails were sent to .gov accounts and were therefore properly retained, how does someone/organization do a FOIA request? Would you have to FOIA everyone who might have received an email from her? How would you know if you missed some?AND SOME SNARK: “Didn't Valerie Jarrett say that she and no one she knew received any emails from Hillary? Doesn't she know Obama? It's been reported that he received some. Maybe she just meant no one important.”
Also, since at least some of her staff used email accounts on the same server, what are the odds that all of those were turned over? I would think that a great many emails would be to people within her own staff, especially concerning policies, talking points and various affairs of state.
Finally, wasn't everything (yeah, right) turned over in hard copy form? Fifty-five thousand pages to be scanned before they can be searched and collated.
FROM THE ‘MATH IS HARD’ SCHOOL OF POLITICAL THOUGHT: Pennsylvania governor proposes new taxes on natural gas.
The cost of natural gas – as well as the profits from same – is at historic lows right now, and Pennsylvania’s drillers have to look long and hard at the bottom line before drilling a new well.Contrary to the liberal view of mathematics, 5% of nothing is still nothing.
Now here’s a question for the Governor… if the energy company is barely making a profit and you drive up their production costs by 5% at the wellhead, what do you think happens next? The answer is… nothing. As in they don’t drill a new well. Now, let’s move on to the bonus round, Governor. Feel free to take out your calculator because I wouldn’t want to strain your gray matter with the harder forms of math. How much revenue do you think the state will bring in from a well that never gets drilled?
THREE MILLION, SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-TWO THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED AND NINETY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND SIXTY CENTS. Your money, well spent on President Obama’s Christmas vacation.
To put a little bright-side spin on the number, that’s equal to about a 2-1/2 minute increase in the national debt. Not the national debt itself; the increase in the national debt.
Who’s not willing to grant the President 2-1/2 minutes of national debt increase for his annual vacation?
Oh, by the way, each of us mere citizens spent an average of 169 milliseconds of the increase. (For the record, I’m cheap; I only spent about 25 milliseconds.)

THE SCOREKEEPER nails it: “Hillary Clinton held a press conference to say she didn’t mean to be caught being devious, deceptive, and disingenuous....”
There’s more here.
There’s more here.
HEH: The Democrats’ House of No Cards.
Politicians do the darnedest things. Every so often a top politician — and often one described by his fans as a really great intellect — will blow up his career with an unforced error so egregiously stupid that your houseplant would dismiss it as completely moronic, if only your houseplant could think.Think Hillary.
