Kenya proves (once again) that they’re deadly.
The only solution to bad people with guns is good people with guns. Signs and laws are worse than useless.
If You’re Tired Of Budget Theatrics In DC
We need a new Senate, and majority leader:
Whatever else you can say about the House of Representatives and President Obama, at least these folks have consistently produced spending documents in rough approximation to legal requirements (to be sure, Obama’s latest offering, showed up two months late and $5.2 trillion long when it came to increasing deficits over the next decade).
In contrast and despite a solid one-party majority, the Senate has passed exactly one budget in the past four years and in most of those years, they didn’t even produce the necessary document as mandated by law. Instead, we were treated to journalistic valentines to former Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), the guy in charge of the Senate budget wonkery, by a pliant press.
As my colleague Ed Krayewski reminds us in his essential survey of “4 Washington Scandals That Still Matter,” the Democrats couldn’t pass a budget even when they controlled the White House, the Senate, and the House. It’s been the Senate all along that’s been the problem, at least since Sen. Harry “We do not need to bring a budget to the floor this year,” Reid (D-Nev.) has been running that godawful show.
And will for at least another year and a half, until we can fix the problem.
Another Body On The ObamaCare Trainwreck Tracks
Hey, it’s just a little “glitch.”
“Old spin: If you oppose ObamaCare it’s because you want kids to die! New spin: Hey, what’s a half-million kids in the scheme of things?”
One child’s loss of health coverage is a tragedy. Half a million of them is a statistic.
To Ask, Or Not To Ask?
Some people have noted to me that I’m not as vociferous in conference sessions as I used to be. This is sort of the template I use now.
It would have served me well in my younger, more impetuous days.
True The Vote
Finally granted its tax-exempt status. Don’t let them evade discovery, though.
Barack Obama’s Ego
Will it cause him to force a government shutdown?
Why not? It’s caused him to do lots of other stupid things.
Condolences To Walter Russell Mead
…on the loss of his remarkable mother.
Nature isn’t cruel, but it is indifferent. We have to make more progress on these kinds of ailments.
The IRS Malfeasance
Did it help re-elect Barack Obama? Even the Christian Science Monitor is wondering.
Also, the IRS hit list the Dems don’t want you to see.
Communication Across The Anglosphere
Two peoples, separated by a common language.
Golden Spike
Jim Lovell has seen the light, and embraced commercial spaceflight. Really, it’s the only hope for those who want to see Americans return to the moon. NASA will never do it.
