AND SOME AREN'T HUMAN: Vogue's new digs are reportedly swarming with rats.

Heh.

EXPLAIN TO ME why a do-nothing Congress is bad.

MILWAUKEE POLICE CHIEF unloads on black community leaders over violence.



"Sit down and shut up!" is beginning to make a comeback....

OOPS! Probe into IRS scandal may have recovered up to 30,000 Lerner emails.

Hmm. Perhaps ms. Lerner might want to reconsider a deal with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to testify in return for immunity from prosecution....

MESSAGE FOR CONGRESS: "Repeal Obamigration."

ENJOY YOUR 'UNDERBUS' RIDE: Sorry, Sen. Landrieu --- Democrats are committed to Obama's war on energy.

EXPLAINING OBAMA'S AMNESTY PROPOSAL: “These illegal aliens are willing to do the work that Americans will no longer do — namely, vote Democrat.”

I started to write "Truer words...." but now I'm not so sure. Democrats under Obama have so poisoned the well that I'm not convinced that the 'amnestied' illegals will vote for them.

And polls seem to suggest that Latinos who have become citizens are skeptical at best. I remember back in the early days of the feminist movement, the women who worked for/with me were thoroughly pissed that the affirmative action for females was devaluing their successes. That may be a factor here as well.

RANDOM THOUGHT on Obama's immigration speech: so loaded with strawmen that it would have exploded if someone had lit a match.

FROM 5 YEARS AGO TODAY: Interstate 66 was a mess. It still is.

SECRET SERVICE CHIEF: Morale suffering at agency. I can understand ... having to risk your life to protect the Moron-in-Chief can't be a morale-builder.

EMPEROR OBAMA: He likes the sound of it. Not satisfied to just be king.

PELOSI: Gruber wrote computer code, not Obamacare. And if you believe that, then surely you believe that then-Speaker Pelosi read the bill she voted for....

UPDATE: The higher education bubble.



As my wife has suggested, perhaps it's time to raise the voting age -- to 35.

IN CALIFORNIA: Berkeley, San Francisco consider plans to put climate-change warning labels on gas pumps. I have a better idea: ban gas stations within the city limits.

And then there's that ugly fossil-fuel produced electricity. They should also mandate that all electricity consumed within the city limits be produced by renewable wind and solar energy....

EBOLA NURSE Kaci Hickox would appreciate it if you stopped calling her that. Sorry, but my sympathy meter is pegged at zero. She earned the appellation and it is well-deserved.

BIONIC BIRD: A Christmas gift for your cats.

HOW ABOUT spending $10 million on a video game about escaping fat government? That, at least, might actually be worthwhile.

MYSTERY VIRUS NON-EPIDEMIC: It can't be an epidemic if the CDC won't comment.

MASSACHUSETTS TOWN pushes total ban on all tobacco, nicotine products. But will they ban marijuana?

THIS WILL BE INTERESTING: SpaceX to attempt Falcon 9 booster landing on floating platform.
