The Modern Democrat Fire Eaters
They haven’t really changed that much since the Civil War. The only difference is that they want to enslave all of those of us who won’t bend to their will, instead of just blacks. And as Clayton says, all this kind of rhetoric does is reinforce our desire to defend ourselves and our freedom.
The Zenit Launch Failure
Looks like a failed hydraulic pump, which took out its steering capability.
Another Sterling Obama Nominee

“Yes. Quite. Well, nice talking with you . . .”
“Janus.”
“Right. Well, nice to meet you.”
Only Lileks.
Piers Morgan Is Whiffing, Too
Nominating Hagel
Whose terrible idea was it, anyway? Jonathan Chait is starting the circular firing squad. I have to agree with this:
As it turned out, the Hagel nomination has been a fiasco. (Clemons’s chins-up take that Hagel “met expectations” is the most optimism any Hagel backers can muster.)
He certainly met my expectations. I fully expected him to be the hapless fool and tool he always is. And I love this understatement: “Hagel himself does not appear to be especially brilliant.”
You don’t say.
[Update a few minutes later]
Obama advisor: Hagel’s conduct was “somewhere between baffling and incomprehensible.”
It’s only baffling to people so stupid that they thought he was smart.
More On The Unaffordable Care Act
The IRS estimates that the cheapest plan will cost $20K a year.
But remember, if you like your plan, you can keep it.
