IF 'STORYTELLING' MEANS LYING, EPA doesn't need additional training.

MSNBC RATINGS continue to crater:

Unlike their favorite energy sources to talk about, the progressive audience isn’t a sustainable one because there aren’t as many progressives in America as the coastal media elites think there are. It doesn’t take that many to get distracted by things like prison or the occasional flirtation with employment to carve into your audience.

Bless their hearts, none of them have even tried to become more appealing. The entire lineup spent so many years being coddled by upper management that they don’t know they are failing miserably. Soon, most of them will be able to cuddle their participation trophies for comfort.

Participation trophies don't put food on the table....

THE DEMOCRATS' PROBLEM with the truth. America's problem is that so many of its citizens are hooked on 'free stuff' that the truth is irrelevant.

ABOLISH THE IRS? Defiant agency chief tells Congress to shove it.

Koskinien may be correct in arguing that there will always be an IRS, but he needs reminding that it doesn't have to be his IRS ... give him the boot.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:

We are advised to not judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge all gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.

We constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money, but we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money. What's interesting is the first group worked for their money, the second didn't.

We cutting benefits for our veterans, not giving pay raises for our military, and cutting our forces to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping payments or benefits to illegal aliens.

From my email.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: welcome to Munich, 1938.

IF I HAVE TO TRADE YOU IN FOR ELEPHANTS, I'll do it. I think I've posted this in the past, but it's worth repeating over and over as 2016 approaches.

HEH: Nevada brothel offers to host Harry Reid’s retirement party. They have his number....

TODAY BIG BROTHER watches tomorrow he'll watch you.

Welcome to the real 1984.

EARTHWORKS, a 'prominent' environmental organization, likens fracking to rape. I would think an abortion analogy holds up better, but then that hits too close to home, doesn't it?

OBAMA'S BUS NEEDS FEEDING: Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) indicted on federal corruption charges. He's not backing the President on his Cuba and Iran policies.

I don't think we'll be seeing Sen. Menendez voting 'for' on any Obama-desired legislation anytime in the near future....

PUNCH BACK: "If I were Mitt Romney, I’d put a million or so toward hiring some investigative journalists to ensure that Reid’s remaining years were uncomfortable."

As a warning to the Left.

HARRY REID: Extremism in the defense of fascism is no vice.

AND THEY'RE GOOD AT IT: The Left wages total war and then plays victim.

‘FLYING GAS STATIONS’ could enable super long-haul flights of the future.

It's nice to see reality catch up to science fiction; I remember a short story/novella along these lines in Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact a number of years back.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL LEFT "hates the fact that we live in a world of tradeoffs, and ... thinks we live in a world where the only unlimited resource is other people’s money."

GLENN REYNOLDS: Ignorance of the law should be an excuse. Or at least a defense.

MORE GREEN WEENIES captured by the environmentalists.
