As I wrote earlier, the political class has become entertaining, especially at the top. Today Obama was talking about his decision to take Super Pac money after condemning it, and he said it's impossible to get the message out now without lots and lots of money. This coming from someone on tv every single day. I've never seen it be so easy for a President to get his message out, and it doesn't cost him anything. The Left has become so arrogantly dishonest it hits e sometimes, and, at first, I'm stunned, then, I can only laugh.

The political class is all a'flitter that Santorum might win one today. What will that mean? Oh, it surely means Romney is on the ropes and Santorum is on his way to upsetting Romney's inevitability. How much longer is this nonsense going to continue? I'm still waiting for the surprise announcement that Mitch Daniels is entering the race. If the players and public ould only behave like the media have planned, this wouldn't be so boring.

http://reason.com/blog/2012/02/06/ron-paul-psychobiographized-by-the-new-y It's easier to psychologize the personality of those who spouse uncomfortable deas than it is to grapple with the ideas. If Ron Paul's ideas can be explained away by his pbringing, then the ideas ren't as dangerous. Main Stream Media outlets are being sources of entertainment. Media watching has become one of my favorite pasttimes. Although it's all unintentional, news/political media are funnier than the sitcoms. From the NYT to MSNBC, what they push out to the public is fodder for hours of entertainment.

http://armedforcesjournal.com/2012/02/8904030 Those who criticize people like me as un-patriotic who call for an end to the war eed to understand what's happening in Afghanistan, and then decide what's patriotic and what's not. What we're doing with our troops right now in Afghanistan s un-patriotic and criminal. History is not going to be kind to the present crop of hawks who would rather defend their immature ah-rah mindset than to look at what's best for our military and our nation. We need to end all military operations in the mideast. Pull all aid. Leave this region alone.

How about some good news on the civil liberties front to kick off the week for a change? Robert Barnes writing for The Washington Post reports that SCOTUS ruled 9-0 in United States v. Jones stating that the police placing a GPS tracking device on a person’s vehicle and tracking said vehicle over days, weeks, [...]

“Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm-but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.” – T.S. [...]

We’re not going black today, over SOPA or PIPA. In case you by some miracle hadn’t noticed it yet, tens of thousands of web sites around the country and around the world, are “going black” or putting up banners explaining that they are not available or there is no content today etc… In protest against [...]

In last night’s debate, Gov. Mitt Romney said something quite incredible when asked if he would have signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA): Yes I would have [signed the NDAA] and I do believe it’s appropriate to have the capacity to detain people who are threats to this country who are members of Al [...]

Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech is unquestionably one of the most infamous famous speeches in American history. In listening to the speech today, I found the following passages that aren’t as often quoted to be some of the most powerful lines in the speech. In a sense we have come to [...]

Imagine that you had an Orthodox rabbi in Jerusalem, who called for massacres of Palestinian civilians. He was arrested by the Palestinians, and they let him go with the caveat that he stop calling for the massacres. He’s soon back at his same old spiel, praising Jews who kill Arabs and other such nonsense. Soon, [...]

If you think you’ve ever been to a busy mall, shopping area, or highway, you’re wrong unless you’ve seen what awaits shoppers in Paramus, New Jersey along Route 17. I used to live nearby, and I hated having to buy anything because it meant dealing with the crowds and traffic on Route 17, which I [...]

I noticed when responding to a few comments last night on my post on responses from readers on libertarianism and animal rights that my post from last July about how selling one’s kidney can save lives (and should be legal) had attracted comments from blog readers actually leaving their email addresses in hopes of selling [...]

Meet Democrat presidential candidate Vermin Supreme. The man wears a boot on his head, advocates a mandatory dental hygiene program, ponies for every American, and harnessing the energy of zombies to wean America off of foreign oil. Best of all, in his closing statement (following his singing!), Vermin tries to turn his political rival Randall [...]
