The White House knew that Fisker was headed for a fall, and gave them our money anyway.
Hey, got to keep those campaign donations coming in.
Biting The Hand
As Mark Twain wrote, the principal difference between a dog and a man is that the former won’t bite the hand that feeds it. Once again, we see a connection between welfare and terrorism. As in the UK, we fund their lifestyles so that they have the leisure and resources to plot to murder and maim us.

Did Boston have it coming? The UN (of course!) says yes. Remember: blame America first.
And of course, fisking lying anti-Semitic leftist Richard Falk is like shooting a whale in a barrel. I heard him speak in Ann Arbor in the late seventies, when I was a student. He doesn’t seem to have learned much in the interim.
Hillary And Benghazi
Hey, it wouldn’t be the first time she’s lied under oath. She did it routinely in the nineties.
Ender’s Game Weightless Effects
I wouldn’t call these “insane lengths.” Insane lengths would have been building their own large-volume sound stage in orbit.
Hezbollah
Is it the beginning of the end?
If so, that would be a bit of good news from a bad neighborhood.
Obama’s Crony Capitalism
…posts more pitiful results.
Bombs In Iraq
How they saved lives in Boston.
As the old expression goes, it’s an ill wind that blows no good.
The Boston Bombing
Of course it was. So was Fort Hood, and it’s insane, or stupid, or both, to try to deny it.

Recognizing the enemy: lessons from the Cold War.
Mad Men
Ed Driscoll has some thoughts on 1968, the Year That Sucked, at least until almost the end. I remember waking up to my clock radio, announcing the assassination of Robert Kennedy.
And yes, for those who watched, last night’s episode was (predictably?) depressing.
Republicans On Immigration
Some of them are acting like Leftists:
The strange thing about the Republican members in the Gang of Eight debate is that to ram through immigration legislation, they and their supporters are beginning to adopt the same sort of tactics that we have seen used by the Left during the fights over Obamacare and gun control: obfuscate the issue by imprecise vocabulary and ahistorical allusions; demonize your opponents with all sorts of crazy accusations of quasi-tolerance of “slavery” to abortion; create a false sort of urgency (we are supposed to pass this very minute the huge and mostly unread immigration bill in the manner of the huge and unread Obamacare bill); and speak loftily of principles and humanitarianism when the issue is mostly driven by electoral politics and demography.
It’s quite tiresome, even infuriating, regardless of the source. Of course, I’ve never been a Republican. This is one reason why.
