ON POVERTY, Obama is hypocritical and clueless. Skip the 'on poverty' phrase and the statement would still be accurate.

THIS IS WHY we want to keep the A-10 Thunderbolt II for as long as the Islamic State exists.

PRESIDENT OBAMA on the resdistribution of ... of ... of ... blame. He's very good at it.

IT APPEARS that blithering idiocy is a requirement for faculty in '(fill in the blank) Studies' departments of 'elite' universities. This woman is exceedingly well qualified.

CHER’D SACRIFICE: They don’t call ’em ‘green’ Hollywood liberals for nothing.

Sacrifice is for little people. (So is income inequality....)

RANDOM THOUGHT: Is paying federal taxes the equivalent of contributing to the delinquency of a minor?

If you can't already guess, go here to see who's who.

BARACK OBAMA: If the media stopped reporting on poverty, poverty wouldn’t exist.

With Obama, it's Fox News. It's always Fox News.

INSTAPUNDIT speaks truth to power: "[T]oo much kale is bad for your spine."

CARLY FIORINA makes the right enemies. She should be the next (and first woman) President.

More on Carly.

RAMIREZ:

Need more be said?

TO TAKE 'SELFIES'? Make your smart phone into a drone.

CLINTON CASH is out, and the polls show it. I bought a copy yesterday. Haven't read it yet, but I doubt reading it will lower my opinion of Hillary (that would require blasting).

HMMM: Americans oppose economic redistribution despite income inequality. Americans are smarter than Democrats.
