Our ruling class knows what is best for you 'little people'.

UNEXPECTEDLY: Another state extends ObamaCost (formerly ObamaCare) deadline.

POWERLINE'S JOHN HINDERAKER rips the Washington Post a new ... uh, well, you know what.

FROM INSTAPUNDIT: Michelangelo's David Has a Right to Bear Arms. Actually, an obligation.

SOLVING THE COLLEGE TUITION CRISIS: just make it free. Other people's money is so-o-o easy to spend.

[C]olleges and universities can 'produce the musicians, writers, philosophers, scientists, and visionaries ... of tomorrow' without encumbering them with high tuition or massive debt.

Uh, huh: Remember Nancy Pelosi on ObamaCare freeing 'musicians, writers, philosophers, etc.' to pursue their dreams without having to worry about paying for their healthcare? Or paying for this loon to pursue a Ph.D.?

Sorry, but I prefer this approach.

UNEXPECTEDLY: NYC bike-share program in financial trouble. The Left cannot seem to come to grips with the fact that their 'do-good' schemes are almost always certain to fail.

POWERLINE: Why the Alarmists’ Climate Models Are Worthless.

Or as I've always said, if you can't explain it on the back of an envelope, it ain't science.

CRONY CAPITALISM GOVERNMENT: Union representatives join federal government safety inspectors on site visits to nonunion businesses.

NEWT GINGRICH: Rand Paul is right.

ILLINOIS GOV. PAT QUINN: A $10/hour minimum wage is a principle as old as the Bible.

I didn't know a 40-hour workweek was standard in Biblical times....

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-SANTA BARBARA feminist professor Mireille Miller-Young charged with one misdemeanor count each of theft, battery and vandalism in a confrontation with pro-life teen. Now it time for the UCSB administration to step up (but they won't).

RAMIREZ: a well-deserved honor.

SATURDAY MORNING:

Shadow, Daisy, and Diamond sleeping in.

OBAMACARE: The individual mandate is weak -- and unenforceable.

DAVID FRENCH: A win for academic freedom. A solid shot across the bow, but it will take some direct hits to dissuade the academic Left.

IT’S COME TO THIS: Leftist groups now offering young people cash prizes to enroll in Obamacare. And if you win, you can almost afford the premium for the first few months.
