Assortment

Obama campaign finally makes a shrewd decision: Joe Biden is taking the week off.

Consumers not too confident.

The legacy media: crowding into the clown car.

Whose war on women?

There are no small parts, only small players.

Meteorologists attain a new kind of unreliability.

Obama’s not looking as green as he once did (Gawrsh, Mickey, do yuh suppose politics might have sump’n to do with it?)

Barack Obama: Tea Party patriot? The Washington Times has a photo from 1997 of Barry all dolled up in 18th century revolutionary regalia (portraying Crispus Attucks, maybe?).

Flame may not remove the ultimate necessity of flames .

Obama 2.0 might just be the end of America as we know it.

Hey, Mr. Democratic Indiana congressional candidate and Notre Dame graduate, what do you think of your alma mater’s participation in the Catholic lawsuits against the HHS mandate? “Why, I intend to, er, monitor the process.”

Maryland governor Martin O’Malley: “Hey, let’s follow the California model!”

More strange news from Maryland: Aaron Walker reportedly arrested. Free speech in the so-called “Free State” is, if not dead, at least grievously injured (Update - Jim Geraghty on the broader theme: "I think our culture’s ratio of crazy-people-to-non-crazy-people is getting out of whack.")

Democrats: Stiffing private businesses for 65 years. Harry Truman’s paperboy finally gets paid.

Hmmmmm........

I work closely with weather forecast offices, and they've been hit hard with budget cuts. Now I see why.

And while I take your meaning, Paco, the meteorologists there take their duties very seriously. Clearly their managers and executives do not.

And, yeah, I can see why Stacy wants to leave Maryland. Even Occupied Northern Virgina will be better than California East.

Ugh, that didn't come out well, did it? Never blog when tired.

Sorry about that, Paco.

The government fools here don't understand that the cow is drying up. Heidi Harris (KRLA radio) played an interview this morning in which California Governor Jerry
"Moonbeam" confessed he had no plan, that he was lieing when he made all those promises, and that lieing is a part of politics. It's a hoot! Don't know what year, but I believe it was recent. Brown's newest revenue raising scheme is to raise taxes on the wealthy... and "everyone else" as he put it.
The voters will approve it and then scream that they didn't understand they were included. Yet Brown won't pull the plug on the train debacle. Six hundred eighty million in interest for one section could go a long way for other things.

People have long made jokes about CA falling into the ocean. There is truth to the statement, but it isn't the Pacific. It's the Ocean of Debt.

Texas, here we come! Richard and I can't wait to bid the pyrite state adios!
