Assortment (things-that-slither-from-underneath-a-rock edition)

Baksheesh – Obama style.

My recollection is that we fought a revolution over one tax. Obama has proposed 442.

Vote for Democrats, get higher taxes. Californians rinse and repeat (and rinse and repeat and rinse and repeat, etc., etc.)

If the U.S. government ever dusts off the “axis of evil” designation for future use, it should include Pakistan the next time around.

If, as someone once wrote, the Democrats are a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a political party, then John Podesta is arguably its consigliere.

Meanwhile, brother Tony Podesta – another Beltway political gangster – deleverages his conjugal status.

The American Spectator wades through a deep pool of candidates for its Enemy of the Week selection.

Prosecutors in Wisconsin are learning what it’s like to be defendants.

“We can’t have, in America, people that violate the law and just walk away from it. So it’s not over", says honest Harry Reid.

What is going on the US, Paco? Everyone is spied upon, the Post Office buys large quantities of ammunition and people who supply medical equipment are fingerprinted?

And of course, Harry Reid is getting ready to send the army in.

Good one, Paco.

That's the funniest thing you've written in a long time!

Robert of Ottawa: We do seem to have our own odd little obsessions down here...

Hemorrhoids, toenail fungus, dog poop, and cockroaches all more popular than Congress.

I hope that explains things.

R. of O.: Barack Obama and his apparatchiks are working overtime to turn the US into a fascist state. Let us hope our foundational strengths are sturdy enough to get us through the next couple of tumultous years.

Robert: Hell if I know. This isn't the country I grew up in, that's for sure.

R-man: I have to admit, when I say it out loud, it makes me smile, too.
