Its supporters are 0 for 3.

But remember, it’s “fizzling out.”

The IRS “accidentally” revealed thousands of social security numbers. But remember, you can totally trust them with your health information.

I hadn’t been following the case that closely, but it sounds like if Zimmerman is convicted, he’ll have plenty of bases for an appeal. The judge sounds like a real piece of work.

WTF does David Ignatius mean by that phrase?

It’s very interesting that one of the groups that supported the coup was the more conservative Salafist group known as the Nour Party to the right of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Does that make any sense at all? What is he saying? That they support lower taxes? Traditional marriage? Smaller government? What?

While “Left” and “Right” aren’t particularly enlightening words in discussion of domestic politics, it’s really stupid to talk about Middle East politics in those terms.

Is Victor Davis Hanson’s long-time prediction finally approaching?

The young, inexperienced, but haughty Obama is a stereotypical figure right out of Greek mythology. Sometimes he is poor arrogant Icarus — flying too high on his frail and melting waxen wings. Or is he arrogant young Phaethon? The latter demanded the reins of his father’s sun chariot — only to end up in flames as his out-of-control divine car scorched the earth (unfortunately we are the earth). Often Obama seems a know-it-all Oedipus who believed that he was so smart that the far older world of chance and fate had to yield to his superior reason. Or is he vain Narcissus, so taken with his image in the reflecting pool that Nemesis allowed him to stare forever transfixed at himself?

…Then Nemesis struck. Not Republicans in the House, not right-wing judges, but Obama himself tabled much of the most important parts in the implementation of the bill. For now he has almost killed off his own offspring, not in the promised most transparent fashion in the history of the presidency, but cheaply and perhaps cowardly on a little read website at the start of a long holiday. It is as if the president can pick and choose which laws he administers and which he simply ignores, but is terribly ashamed to admit such.

I think that little stunt destroyed whatever little chance Obama had of getting an immigration bill to his liking. Anyway, read the whole thing.

As I said, you should really read the whole thing. It’s about a lot more than health care.

I wonder if anyone’s going to investigate this? I’ll bet the FBI sits on their hands. If the Dallas PD does nothing, then maybe the Texas AG should have the Rangers look into it.

I certainly don’t want corrupt fascist hacks like Dick Durbin to decide.

Here’s one that legal immigrants and House Republicans could get behind. The first step on the path is to go home. Then get in line, like everyone else.

No, there is no link. It’s just a thought on the current debate on the bill. Democrats insist on one, House Republicans (and some Senate Republicans, not part of the “gang” (and can we please stop it with the “gangs”?)) are understandably averse. Those are the two primary points of contention. Democrats want to keep the border open to continue the flow of potential new collectivist Democrat voters, and smart Republicans don’t. The notion that Hispanics/Latinos/Whatever are going to vote Republican just because the Republicans support immigration reform is ludicrous. There, now you have a link.
