DETROIT: Ayn Rand's Starnesville come to life.
I finished (re)reading Atlas Shrugged not too long ago. Rand's description of Starnesville is a near-perfect match to the pictures of the now abandoned parts of Detroit.
What I find most unsettling is that the rest of America isn't far behind.

THE GROUNDS for standing your ground.
If, God help us, a 'duty to retreat' is formulated into law, then every public park in America has the potential to become a gangbangers' heaven. Don't believe me? Then go and enjoy any state/national forest/park on the Arizona border with Mexico.

OH MY, the dildo has been hunted to extinction. It must have been that Navy corpse-man who fired the fatal last shot....
MORE IDIOCY IN DETROIT: Michigan Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina ruled Detroit bankruptcy is unconstitutional, saying "the filing did not honor President Barack Obama's work for the city, who she said 'took [Detroit's auto companies] out of bankruptcy'. Aquilina said she would send a copy of her order to Obama."

A REMINDER: "The simplest reason why Romney lost [the 2012 Presidential election] was because it is impossible to compete against free stuff."
The article was originally written in November of 2012; it's making the email rounds again, and is still worth a long, thoughtful read.

THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER:
The Tom Toles cartoon in today's Washington Post takes the Brits to task for the 'expense' of their monarchy. It's worth reminding him that the monarchy costs the British something on the order of $55.6 million per year. The U.S. Presidency costs the American taxpayer roughly $1.4 billion per year.
I would also point out that Toles' "neither one gainfully employed" snark applies to the U.S. and Obama presidency as well.
