Considering the recovery options.

Asking the important questions: How and what did they eat?
The Tsarnaev Brothers
…were state-supported terrorists. The state was Massachusetts.
Pig Farming
Trying to make it more humane and still affordable.
Of course, some people don’t think if a worthy goal. Iowahawk, who grew up on a hog farm (to the degree that he grew up at all), says that he doesn’t eat bacon because he likes it, but just for spite.
The Democrats Lost The Sequester
Plus, it’s long past time to privatize air-traffic control. My long-time associate and friend Bob Poole at Reason has been promoting this for years.
A Conservative LA Times
I don’t see why not. In fact, a very useful first step would be that threatened mass resignation by the staff. That by itself would instantly improve the quality of the rag.
Jake Tapper’s Offensive Tweet
This is pretty damn funny.
Benghazi
The difference it makes:
Maybe there’s an explanation in the internal processes of the State Department. And, it should be said, high officials often make decisions that with hindsight seem obvious mistakes. But she has given us just an exclamation, not an explanation.
And, as the Interim Report goes on to explain, the accounts given by the Obama administration at the time were misleading — deliberately so.
It notes that State immediately reported the attack to the White House Situation Room and two hours later noted an al Qaeda affiliate’s claim of responsibility. There was no mention of a spontaneous protest of an anti-Muslim video.
Yet President Obama, Clinton and press secretary Jay Carney spoke repeatedly for days later of a video and a protest. Clinton assured one victim’s family member that the video-maker was being prosecuted.
Because they had to maintain the false narrative for the election.
The Border Fence
Rubio has already caved:
If you want to write a bill that won’t result in a fence being built, you will give discretion to the DHS as to “where” it should be built, in what form–and, implicitly, where it shouldn’t be built. You will require only a ”plan.”
If you want to write a bill that won’t result in a fence being built but that might con conservatives into thinking it will be, you will throw in lots of meaningless references to possible ”double layer fencing” even though DHS might not decide to build even a foot of that kind of fencing (and none is mandated).
That’s what Rubio and his gang have written. Does Krauthammer–who despairs of getting any actual “enforcement first” bill through Congress, given Dem opposition–think Rubio is now going to pull a 180 and decide to really mandate an actual fence, and that Schumer and the Democrats will go along?
This won’t help Rubio get the nomination in 2016, if he decides to run.
Sleep
Are we on the verge of conquering it?
The comments are sort of interesting. A lot of the naturalistic fallacy is showing up there. I found particularly amusing the one commenter who couldn’t imagine that evolution could make a mistake.
