I am elbow-deep in a task that’s been building for months: the re-org of my home office. So I shan’t have anything satisfying to read hear today. Fortunately, Victor Davis Hanson has plenty: Two parties, left and right, are central to good consensual government — one the perennial check on the other, both within the… Read More Shred Party
Epic. (h/t Instapundit) As I said, it’s not about health. If it was, no one would mention the cost of obesity. It’s an issue only because the rest of us have to pay for it? If that’s the case, then there’s no end to the restrictions we can conjure up and impose with equal parts… Read More Lileks Roasts Bloomberg, and All His Flying Monkeys, Too.
Memeorandum links a long essay by Peter Wehner in Commentary, discussing the liberal explanations for “the unexpectedly shovel-ready high-speed intercontinental 57-state train wreck that is the Obama administration” (is that what they call a meme aggregation?). According to Wehner, they are as follows:
While Europe and America have spent the last thirty years adding untold trillions to their respective debts, Canada has done the exact opposite. (h/t: Instapundit) Witness this graph: How did they manage this?
David Hogbert of Investor’s Business Daily was at yesterday’s hearing in Rockville that got Aaron Walker sent to jail for blogging about a public figure.

In prompting Stacy McCain to (legitimately) wave the bloody shirt, Certified Super-Genius Brett Kimberlin has cause the whole Right-o-Sphere to pay attention to him. Instapundit and Michelle Malkin are aggregating. There’s a Kimberlin-related iceberg sitting atop Memeorandum. Satisfying as this all is, we should remember why this matters. Brett Kimberlin isn’t just a scumbag, isn’t… Read More Brett Kimberlin Really Should Not Have Poked That Hive
No, just kidding. It was only some right-wing whore who deserves it. (h/t: Ace) Shall I troll about the internet looking for the outrage of the feminist establishment? Or would that be a waste of time?
If you stretch the meaning of “unconstitutional” past the point of all usefulness, sure. I should like this argument more than I actually do. It’s originalist at root, and the guy has damning quotes from Hamilton and Madison about the evils of super-majorities. In terms of reforming or ending the filibuster, he makes a solid… Read More Is the Filibuster Un-Constitutional?
They are now offering plea deals for movie rights. This is what happens when he state has no limits on its sphere of action. It can and will do everything.
Since I don’t watch SNL, I can’t say whether it would have been funnier than the Fox News Parody they did air. These things after all, are so subjective. But I read the script of the sketch at the Daily Caller, and I laughed. I do think that I know the reason SNL made the… Read More SNL’s Un-Aired Obama Parody Would Have Been Pretty Funny…
