MEDICARE ISN’T THE PROBLEM, and more control is the solution. Robert Reich was born in 1946, so he will be eligible for Medicare in June. I wonder how he'll feel about 'more control' when he becomes the 'controlee'? Or will he opt out? Reich is rich enough - my bet is on the latter (that way won’t interfere with his progressive beliefs).

SIX REASONS why Latinos may stay home on election day. I think Navarette is wrong in his interpretation, for the reason that he seems to see everything through a racial lens. The fact is that wanting to control immigration is not racist, and just because Latinos are most affected does not make it so. That said, however, I do agree that Latinos do have a right to be steamed with the Obama administration. They would be well advised to work with the Republicans to close the borders to illegal immigration in order to open up the borders to legal immigration.

From my experience, what Dunphy describes is common to all government-sector employment where there is no product for sale, no product to be made.

ANN COULTER: ”Following the Democratic playbook, Obama's overall approach to national security is to pointlessly fling our influence and military around the globe ... with no evident national security purpose.”

THE ONLY FOG IN THIS WAR is in the White House.

TORTURING TERRORISTS IS SO ABHORRENT for the Obama administration that they’d rather kill them from drones. It’s so much less messy that way.

BLOWING SMOKE? Frankly, I doubt it; "blowing smoke" presumes some minimal level of competence.

PRESIDENT PANETTA? I truly hate to write this, but this article rings true. Read it all.

THE FIRST STEP to solving a problem is identifying it.

WASHINGTON POST READERS respond to a snooty elitist "foodie."

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY: "The raid was handled by the military. The post-raid has been handled by the usual gang of incompetents."

MIRACLES HAPPEN. We've had continuing light to moderate rain for almost 10 hours now, and there hasn't been a single weather alert/watch/warning. Neither have the local traffic reporters gone ballistic with warnings of slippery roads, poor driving conditions, and mass accidents on the freeways. The silence in palpable.

It's wonderful.

WHO TO BLAME if the debt ceiling isn’t raised. Surprise - it’s Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner!

WE'RE THE GOVERNMENT - AND YOU'RE NOT.
