UNLV students want her to return or reduce her speaking fee.
I would pay a dime to hear her. I hope this starts a trend.
ObamaCare
America’s Untouchable Class
It’s time to make them personally liable for their tyrannical behavior. Also, put an end to public-employee unions. They’re an abomination.

Heroes Of Watergate, RIP
I have some thoughts on the passing of Johnnie Walters and Howard Baker, in the context of the current IRS criminality, over at Ricochet. For those not members, I hope it will get promoted to the front page. If not, I’ll repost here at some point.
[Update a while later]
The post has been promoted, and should be visible now.
Echoes Of Watergate
Given current events with the IRS, how eerie is it that both Johnnie Walters and Howard Baker die in the same week?
What a contrast Walker is with Koskinen (not to mention Lerner), and Baker with Harry Reid.
American Culture
I can’t imagine what is going through the minds of people who take pictures of their junk at all, let alone send it across the ether.
Bob Farquhar
Monte Morin has a great piece on him and the ISEE-3 reboot.
The Obama Scandals
…and media bias:
Historically, reporters and editors have believed that their job is to disseminate news. That is no longer true. Now, most reporters and editors believe that their principal function is to prevent people from learning things they are better off not knowing. Day after day, they run interference for their party, the Democrats. Blockading inconvenient stories from making the news is job number one.
Yes. As he notes, if the parties were reversed, there would be non-stop coverage until the Republican president was hounded out of office.

Joe Scarborough went on a similar rant:
“You know, if George W. Bush or any Republicans had an IRS member that went after Democrats and then there was an internal investigation launched, you would not have time or space on the front page to talk about [other] issues,” Scarborough said. “This really is a scam!”
“Scam” is far too kind a word for it.
SpaceX And Orbcomm
The launch delays are costing money. Note this, though:
Commercial satellite fleet operators have said that with a price differential so large — more than 50 percent in this case — they can absorb the cost of even lengthy SpaceX delays without much trouble.
They’re changing the rules.
