The Lost Boys
Some thoughts on Peter Pan and the Occupy movement.
[Update a few minutes later]
Occupy’s totalitarian temptation. It’s what Leftists do.
The President’s Latest Lie
Even the WaPo calls him out on it.
More thoughts here. I can’t remember the last time we had such a mendacious president. Oh, wait, I can. It was the last time a Democrat was in the White House.
Seven Years Later
Few soldiers lose their humanity in war. But that they don’t, at least temporarily, can be one of the unbearable pains that they carry forever.
The New Nomenklatura
Barack Obama and his rich socialist buddies.
May Day
It’s the day to commemorate the Victims of Communism. Particularly the living ones in places like Cuba and North Korea, for whom there is still some hope.
The Left’s War On Science
Jonah Goldberg takes on Chris Mooney.
The Presumption Of Constitutionality
In which the editors of The New Republic display the continuing indifference of the Left to the Constitution, if it inconveniently gets in the way of their totalitarian schemes.
The Secret Obama Campaign Strategy
Andrew Klavan has the scoop:
LISTER: Well, the debt is a very serious problem, but by the same token, I think you have to agree that Mitt Romney drove for twelve hours with his dog in a crate on top of his car.
KOC: What?
LISTER: He’s been cited for cruelty by two different animal rights groups.
KOC: Well, okay, but, in his book Dreams From My Father, President Obama says he actually ate a dog!
LISTER: I don’t think we should be talking about dogs at a serious moment like this. Dogs are just a distraction.
KOC: Fine, let’s get back to the economy. Entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare are projected to consume all tax revenues within thirty years. Social Security could be operating at a deficit within only two years. Congressman Paul Ryan has put forward a serious and politically courageous plan to address entitlement reform. What will be the president’s approach?
LISTER: We’re on it. Even as we speak, we have hired an actor who looks like Congressman Ryan to pretend to push an old woman in a wheelchair off a cliff. I don’t see how the GOP can answer that, especially when you consider that Mitt Romney’s ancestors may have been bigamists.
KOC: Mitt Romney’s ancestors? Barack Obama’s father was a bigamist!
LISTER: I don’t think we should be talking about bigamy at a serious moment like this. Bigamy is just a distraction.
Actually, I’m not sure it’s that big a secret.
