“They’re lying about everything now.”
They have to. It’s all they have.

The Hunger Games
Five reasons childish leftists (if that’s redundant) love it.
The Ratchet Of History
The Democrats just nuked it.
I was thinking that myself yesterday, though not in as quite vivid terms.
[Saturday-morning update]
Six questions about the Senate’s nuclear winter.
[Update a few minutes later]
The Senate goes MAD.
Education
…in a free society:
The present essay calls for the complete separation of school and state, indicates what a fully free market in education would look like, and explains why such a market would provide high-quality education for all children.
Log overdue.
Senior Senate Staffers
…see their health costs skyrocket.
My schadenfreude runneth over.
Cheap Natural Gas
…is leading to a boom in distributed energy.
I haven’t checked gas prices here lately, but it makes me toy again with the idea of getting a generator, given electricity costs here. It would have to be a quiet one, though.
Science, And Sin
The latest IPCC report exposes the faith-based initiative that is climate “science”:
In just about any realm of human study, being this dramatically wrong would cause the authors of the errors to be dismissed as unreliable, and perhaps as quacks. But in the world of environmental fearmongering, a spectacularly false prediction is no obstacle. There is no “wrong” in climate activism, there is only the message, which must be pushed continuously without regard for contrary evidence or honest scientific skepticism. Unsettling facts must not get in the way of “settled science.”
Fortunately, I think a lot of people are no longer falling for the scam.
The ObamaCare Debacle
Will it kill Big Blue?
Edsall is simultaneously overestimating the policy sophistication of the white middle class and underestimating its morality. While it is true that, as Edsall points out, Obamacare is an aggressively redistributionist program that intends to shift hundreds of billions of dollars away from the middle class to the poor, I don’t think many voters have done the math on this. They are not reacting to the $455 billion in Medicare cuts that help to feed the Obamacare beast because not many people really understand how the new system is supposed to work. And at the same time, unlikely as it may sound to the finely tuned consciences of the New York Times editorial page, there are scores of millions of middle class white Americans who don’t hate minorities and would actually like to see things go better for them.
Sorry, lefties, the race card is maxed out.
Socialism In Seattle
It’s off to a rocky start.
A National Health Charter?
This would be a useful bit of legislation. It would basically gut ObamaCare, but the Democrats might feels forced to go along. But we also need a fix to the tax code to fix the portability issue, and decouple health insurance from employment.
