THOMAS SOWELL QUOTES:
I have never understood why it is 'greed' to want to keep the money you have earned, but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.

What is your 'fair share' of what someone else has worked for?
From my email.
SPACE-X releases video of Falcon 9 first stage water “landing”. An enhanced video of the landing is here.
DEMOCRATS TO DONORS: "Get off your butt and give us some money."

I'm tempted to give 'em a buck in the hope that they'll waste 100 times that amount begging me for more....
WINGSUITS are hazardous to your health.
ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY: Woman's surgery delayed by ObamaCare.
FROM MY EMAIL:
Ruger is coming out with a new pistol in honor of Obama. It will be
named the "Union Worker".
Should have been named the "Government Employee".
FROM FIVE YEARS AGO:
Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, signed by a president who smokes, funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that is nearly broke.

What possibly could go wrong?
Now we know.

MICHELLE OBAMA: "No one really cares what you had for lunch." Except her. Best comment:
[S]he is telling her kids to stop posting pics on instagram of all the foods she let's them eat while telling the rest of the kids in America that they better not even think of eating the same thing.
Her lack of self-awareness would be stunning if it weren't a fundamental characteristic of the progressive Left.
FROM THE SCOREKEEPER (#11): [Y]ou need bandwidth when you defend the free world with #Hashtags."
DAILY CALLER: Now You Can Bring The Stifling Joylessness Of Modern Political Life To The Grocery Store.

I have to wonder if the Leftists are sufficiently self-aware to understand that this 'tool' can be used against them as it can for them. Then again, I suppose that they could realize that the Right won't use the app because they're too busy having a life.
HUFFINGTON POST: I'd like a Couple of Entrees and an Order of Wings With My Spacecraft. Autry starts off well until he goes off the rails railing (pun intended) about Republicans. It's not about Republicans vs. Democrats; it's about big government vs. little government. If, for example, Sen. Shelby was a Democrat, the result would be the same. It's what politicians do; bring home bacon and protect their constituents.
MILWAUKEE SHERIFF WINS: "Bloomberg made a huge miscalculation." The way to solve the Bloomberg problem is to make it illegal for anyone to hire armed bodyguards ... carry your own or go without. The anti-gun financiers would disappear pretty rapidly when they found it was their neck in the noose.
PROGRESS? Many Muslim leaders have denounced the Islamic State. It's a start, but it will take more than words to stop ISIS; the Islamic world must now take action.
IEEE SPECTRUM: How We Gave Sight to the Mercedes Robotic Car.
WELL, Obama insisted on driving....
LABOR POLICY: A conservative alternative to the minimum wage.
NEARLY EVERYTHING WRONG with modern journalism in one tweet. At least he recognized his stupidity. Still got to work on the narcissism, though.
NO WONDER the Left hates math....
