He’s apparently a Democrat star. Imagine how the press would react to a Republican mayor named “Hitler.”
Not to imply, of course, that there is anything “right wing” about Nazis. But the MSM imagines that there is…

Now this is what I call an honor killing.
Bob Is A Racist
Bigotry, explained.
As someone rightly points out in comments, you’re a racist if you even view this video.
An Englishman’s Home
It’s historically tragic to view the continuing deterioration of Britain, and see the ongoing abandonment of English common law in its own birthplace. What will it take for them to come to their senses?
The Media’s Biggest Nightmare
Losing control of the narrative. It’s long past time.
American Character
A half-century of unfettered expansion of entitlement outlays has completely inverted the priorities, structure and functions of federal administration as these were understood by all previous generations. Until 1960 the accepted task of the federal government, in keeping with its constitutional charge, was governing. The overwhelming share of federal expenditures was allocated to some limited public services and infrastructure investments and to defending the republic against enemies foreign and domestic.
In 1960, entitlement payments accounted for well under a third of the federal government’s total outlays—about the same fraction as in 1940, when the Great Depression was still shaping American life. But over subsequent decades, entitlements as a percentage of total federal spending soared. By 2010 they accounted for just about two-thirds of all federal spending, with all other responsibilities of the federal government making up barely one-third. In a very real sense, entitlements have turned American governance upside-down.
It’s not just a fiscal problem, or a governance problem. It’s a moral problem, when so many think that they are literally entitled to live off the productivity of others. It can’t go on, so, one way or the other, it won’t.
Antonio Villaraigosa
…”is the Hispanic Obama”:
Clean, articulate, well spoken, and full of shit beyond reckoning.
Though as another commenter points out, he’s not actually all that articulate or well-spoken. Of course, neither is Obama, when off teleprompter.
Fortunately, he’s only been Peter Principled to a position where he can just wreck Los Angeles, instead of the whole country, as Obama was. It is amazing that they made this clown head of their convention. Everyone I know in LA split a gut when they heard about his new role. As is noted, unlike the Republicans, with Rubio, Cruz, Martinez, etc., he’s the best the Dems can come up with as their token Hispanic.
Of course, in fairness to Dr. Peter, the Donkeys seem to have a knack for promoting hacks to far above their level of incompetence.
National Empty Chair Day
Have a good one.
I’d put one out if I had a front lawn, but we’re the rear house on the lot.
Here are more photos from around the country.
[Update a while later]
Politico is covering the story now.

I liked the image at one of the above links of the empty suit in the empty chair.
Media Madness
…and the reckoning.
I don’t buy the polls, either. I think that we’re going to see a huge preference cascade, and it may already be happening.
The Inflexible Ideologue
What will Barack Obama do with another four years? The ironic thing, of course, is that Leftists are always pretending that they have no ideology — they’re just “pragmatists,” doing “what works.”
