C.S. Lewis once wrote: Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one’s first feeling “Thank God, even they aren’t quite so bad as that,” or… Read More TROLOLOLOLOLOL
Bureaucrats are generally dis-inclined to take the heat for politicians. The blue-on-blue is particuarly encouraging. Is this a function of Obama’s declining coattails, as donkeys seek distance in preparation for 2014? I wonder how long before Obama feels the need to throw Hillary — or some other mucky-mucks at State — under the bus? Jammie-Wearing… Read More I Do Believe Benghazi Just Flipped From “Not Going Away” to “Quite Uncomfortably Here”
No, really. 7 Things Democrats Would Have Freaked Out About If Bush Had Done Them Totally on point, even if the gag is repeating. What it Feels Like Being a Conservative On the Internet This is just satisfying.

I watched Our Lord and Savior get inaugurated again at Wegman’s whilst getting some coffee. He’s graying. He looks smaller. I didn’t stick around for the address. I expected it to be the usual boilerplate, and absent some rather proggie-sounding talking points, I don’t doubt that it was. The whole concept of Obama, which even… Read More Obama is Boring
Presidents win re-election as a referendum on their first term, on the people’s view of them. They don’t tend to accomplish much with that term. In fact, recent two-termers tend to spend years 5-8 getting swatted around like weathervanes by events and opposition. So there’s that. Then there’s the actual circumstances of this particular second… Read More Welcome to The Second Term

The New York Post has the skinny on what ObamaCare is going to do for us. If you get your health insurance through a job, you might lose it as of Jan. 1, 2014. That’s when the new “employer mandate” kicks in, requiring employers with 50 or more full-time workers to provide the government-designed health… Read More This, My Progressive Friends, is What You Voted For…
