CONGRESS AND THE MSM are in a dither about a few thousand taxpayer dollars being spent on prostitutes, yet this far larger taxpayer waste is ignored.

WILL THE HYPERSENSITIVE FEMINISTS please shut up?

WERE THE COLOMBIA PROSTITUTES paid with taxpayer dollars? What an incredibly dumb question. Of course they were paid with taxpayer dollars; every one of the individuals involved was a government employee.

JOEL KOTKIN: The Great California Exodus. Somewhere I remember a blog post from a Texan saying that Californians are welcome to come to Texas, but shouldn't be allowed to vote for 10 years until they become properly acculturated to Texas values.

NEWS ANCHOR FAIL (2012 EDITION):



Language warning -- newscasters aren't as clean-minded as we're led to believe.

RANDOM THOUGHTS from the retirement lane. MSNBC needs a new logo. "Leaning Forward" (to fall on our face) didn't work, so I'd suggest they consider copycatting their more famous enemy's logo. My suggestion: "Unfair, Unbalanced, and Scared Shitless Afraid."

HATE AND BIGOTRY is all they have left.

MALLARD FILLMORE: It's election season.

More Mallard Fillmore here.

HEH: government isn't working.

Mitt Romney appears at a shuttered industrial warehouse to dramatize his complaints about Obama's economic policies.
