VIRGINIA NEWS: our former governor was merely venal; our current governor is a crook.

So which one gets jail time?

MORE: it's not just in Virginia.
TWEET OF THE DAY: mockery ensues.

More mockery here.
FILE UNDER 'PROGRESSIVES ARE IDIOTS': In the name of science, banish the Koch brothers from philanthropy.
IMMIGRATION REFORM: It’s all about importing enough Democrat voters to take over.
YES, AND THAT'S BECAUSE I DON'T LIVE IN A BUBBLE: Can you "imagine" Ted Cruz as President?

Snot-nosed arrogance is ill-becoming, but then John Cassidy is a 'progressive', for which it is a requirement. Cue the rainbows and unicorns, stage (far) left.
THERE’S A LOT MORE to launching astronauts to the ISS than you think (video).
A SIMPLE QUESTION for which there's no answer.
HILLARY CLINTON'S new beginning with the press: You don't ask questions; I don't give answers.
NOT MUCH: What did Jeb Bush do to fight Obamacare? If it comes to that, I'll vote for him, but he's certainly not my first choice. Bush was a governor, and by all accounts a good one, but he's not a leader, and that's what America needs today.
HEH: The case for Ted Cruz.
IS IT JUST ME, OR HAVE THE PC FORCES BECOME MORE BRAZEN? University Ex-Admin Alleges She Was Pressured to File False Harassment Claim Against Faculty Critic.

It's my sense that they have, and that it began when Barack Obama claimed to have "won" the majority of the non-voters in the 2014 mid-term elections. I wonder if it's just the last dying push from those who expect to be crushed in 2016.
IT'S NOT EXACTLY WHERE I WANT TO GO, BUT IT'S A START: New Natural Resources chief looks to overhaul federal land policy.
U.S. NAVY readies a full-scale railgun for sea trials (video). Now if we could just get all the ISIS terrorists to line up in a straight line....
AARP OPPOSES Medicare bill which reduces its profits.
AARP's arguments on the Medicare bill ought to be considered on their merits. But powerful groups like AARP don't win arguments simply through pure logical force – they also leverage the authority of their name.

And whenever a group makes an argument that relies on authority, it's worth recalling how they pay their bills.
If you want to fix Medicare, follow AARP's arguments carefully -- then do the exact opposite.
DEMOCRATS SEEK to put GOP on record against popular bills(i.e., 'free stuff') in budget fight.

Punch back. The Democrats might be a little less willing if they knew the Republicans were willing to return the favor.
IT WOULD BE EASIER, CHEAPER, AND MORE EFFECTIVE TO ARM THE FLIGHT CREW:
TSA union wants armed police force for airport security.


And for added security, allow concealed carry for passengers.
OBAMA WORKS OVERTIME to raise the cost of doing business. And why not? The more businesses he can cause to fail, the more employees he can make (un)employees, the better his opportunities for control.
FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY: ObamaCare in one image.

Nothing has changed except the debt: from ~$50K/child in 2010 to $56K/child today.
