UNEXPECTEDLY, OF COURSE: More patients flocking to ERs under ObamaCare.

POWERLINE: Why CNN is going nowhere.

I see no point in CNN trying to race MSNBC to the bottom; when it comes to total incompetence, MSNBC has cornered the market.

DONNA BRAZILE: It's the Republicans' fault that Sgt. Bergdahl's squadmates think he's a deserter.

OBAMACARE now infecting what's left of Medicare Part C. Pity the poor seniors (like me) who once thought they had a way out of single-payer healthcare....

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES: Burger King is leaving military bases in response to Obama's minimum wage hike for federal contractors.

For the new regressives (see this post), the blindingly obvious isn't.

INTERIOR SECRETARY SALLY JEWELL: Jamestown at risk from rising seas.

Uh, huh. Nothing else is working, so let's pivot back to global warming climate change climate disruption and try that card again....

MALLARD FILLMORE on the VA hospitals -- and by implication the future of ObamaCare. Read the comments as well. The gist seems to me that the medical care is decent; gaining access to it is abysmal.

IN AN EARLIER POST I noted that Judge Jeanine Pirro called for President Obama to be impeached.

Here's that video.

THE LAW REQUIRES.... Unless you're the President, and then it only recommends.

THE STATE OF POLITICS, 2014: We're at (have passed?) the tipping point.

I'm reminded of The Marching Morons by Cyril Kornbluth.

YOUR TAX DOLLARS: Destination Unknown. Why am I not surprised?

NO. HE'S WITH VOX.COM: Does Matt Yglesias ever tire of being embarrassingly wrong about everything?

Liberalism is the state of feeling, not thinking.

POWERLINE: Ammo Grrrll has thoughts on dieting.

WASHINGTON DC COUNCIL mulling a 'virtue tax' on gyms and yoga studios.

Absolutely; let's discourage healthy lifestyles by taxing them just like we do booze, cigarettes, and sugary foods....
