An excerpt from @KirstenPowers new book.
As I noted to her on Twitter this morning, they’re not “liberals.” They’re leftists. I’m a liberal.

Conservative Voters
…give pollsters the politically correct answer. Then they vote.
This could be a big problem for the media/Dems next November. There is nothing about polling in the Constitution, and too often, they’ve been used as political weapons. Here’s hoping they finally start backfiring on the Left, as they just did in Britain.
The Latest Religious Attack
An atheist blogger hacked to death in Bangladesh.
Anyone who is not a Muslim (and many who are the wrong kind of Muslims) is a target.

Speech doesn’t justify killing people. Killing people justifies killing people, though.
Unfortunately, the FBI has an “interesting” response to threats against Pam Geller:
Pamela Geller told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that neither the Federal Bureau of Investigations or the Department of Homeland Security have yet to respond to her requests, now that she’s officially a target of the Islamic State.
This is an excellent opportunity to flush out the enemy. But this administration can’t admit that we have any enemies, other than domestic ones who want to reduce the size of government.
The California Water Problem
It would be a non-problem, if we weren’t being completely economically irrational about it. But hey, it’s California. We’re economically irrational about energy and transit, too.
Fantasy As A Basis For Policy
It’s particularly sad when this sort of insanity comes from the judicial branch. It is not “child abuse” to leave a kid in a car for ten minutes.
The UK Election
Is it the end of Britain, as we know it?
Could be. Not sure that’s a bad thing. The Scots were never a good fit, and letting them go their own way will allow the English to be English again. It seem like Labour is (finally) finished in the south. This might actually open up some political space in England for a true liberal party.
The Kids At Oberlin
…are all right. Some of them, anyway.
Actually, I think (or at least hope) the trigger-terrorized special snowflakes are a minority, but a noisy one.

Some students at Columbia are mocking the new Puritans as well.
The Bin Laden Raid
Did Obama lie about it?
Probably, he lies (or at least deludes himself) about most things. The problem is, the source is Sy Hersh, so there’s no way to tell what the real story is.
[Update a while later]
I’d note that if he wasn’t buried at sea, that would be a good thing. I still think that, if he was given a traditional Islamic burial, it was a monumentally stupid thing to do.
As an aside, it’s hard to believe I wrote that four years ago. Where does the time go?
The Fountain Of Youth
Also, stop dieting (that is, stop mindlessly counting calories). You’re just starving yourself to no good end.
The Racism Of The “Mainstream” Media
…on full display with Ted Cruz.
…you’ll note that it’s overwhelmingly Democrats who traffic in racial stereotypes; they just usually get a pass.
Yes. When a leftist calls you a racist, it’s almost always projection.
