Under the "No Shit!" title....

Attack of the Food Police - Reason Magazine:

"Now, there are many places where the government ought to be: between a citizen and a mugger, between the polluter and the sky, between us all and al-Qaida. But the space between a diner's hand and a diner's mouth is not one of them."

Please! Please! Please!

Patterico:

"All I can say to Democrats is “Yes! Please make her the botoxed face of your party!”

Ain't that the truth!

Let me give you a word of advice:

"In one of life’s more pungent ironies, the moment when you feel old enough to offer sage advice to the younger generation is the one when a young person will tell you, to your face, that you are too old to understand his life."

Sounds almost like a Bill Cosby line...

Period... End of Story!

George F. Will - A recoil against liberalism:

"It is amazing the ingenuity Democrats invest in concocting explanations of voter behavior that erase what voters always care about, and this year more than ever - ideas. This election was a nationwide recoil against Barack Obama's idea of unlimited government."

Surprised?

Obama After the Fall:

"After watching President Obama’s press conference, Democrats who are still left standing must have been mortified. The depth of his self-delusion was stunning."

How the Gray Lady Became Margaret Dumont

Ed Driscoll:

"Ad nauseum, as the cocooned, politically correct, metropolitan environment that the Times and its core readers inhabit means that they’re endlessly shocked — and by just about everything and everyone that exists in the land that they grudgingly acknowledge exists between the runways of JFK and LAX to boot.

No wonder they hate you so — look at all the damage you’ve caused their nervous system!"

Popehat:

I totally understand how people can dislike Feingold for being a tax-and-spend liberal. I totally understand why people can dislike him for his cooperation with McCain to violate the First Amendment by suppressing political speech. But, to paraphrase Homer Simpson, I like my beer cold, my Tivo loud, and my Democrats FLAMING. Democrats ought to distinguish themselves from Republicans by supporting the rights of the accused, opposing military adventurism, and resisting the encroachment of the post-9/11 security state. If they don’t, they are just shitty second-rate Republicans with less of a pretense of fiscal responsibility. In sharp contrast to most Democrats — who have pretty much uselessly pandered to “tough on crime” rhetoric for a generation, rolled over on war issues, and trampled each other to look Tougher On Terrorism — Feingold actually stood up for (non-First-Amendment) civil liberties. It’s a shame that he loses while faux-Democrats like Boxer remain.

No kidding....

The Daily Caller:

"Salman Rushdie: “I’ve always liked Stewart and Colbert but what on earth was Cat Yusuf Stevens Islam doing on that stage? If he’s a ‘good Muslim’ like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar then I’m the Great Pumpkin. Happy Halloween.”

I'll bite....

Patterico:

"My prediction is that we have a devastating victory tomorrow; that Palin runs for the nomination; that she wins it; and that she loses to Obama in 2012."

Obama to protesters: Heckle the other side!

Power Line:

"While the reputation of George Bush is snapping back, Barack Obama grows smaller by the minute."

Good call...

Please Give Me The Chance To Say "I Told You So":

"What history shows us is that a liberal, blame-America-first Democratic President, urged on by a liberal, blame-America-first Democratic Congress, is a prescription for political self-destruction. Leave Democrats to their own devices, and they will screw themselves politically, just when they are at the height of power...."

Idiots.....

Happy Birthday, @Raisuli, It Would be Great if You Released @Perdicaris!:

"Let me get this straight. Our Secretary of State has wished the president of a regime that kidnapped American citizens a happy birthday, asked him nicely to give them back, and thinks Twitter is the appropriate medium for this communication? Could this all be true"

WOW! Lucky them!

89,000 Microsoft employees will get a Windows Phone 7 handset

My first (and last) Windows phone was what drove me out of the PC galaxy and into the Apple fold. It was some Samsung piece of shit that never, NEVER worked right from Day 1. The software was as bad and hard to use as could be, and the phone itself could hardly stay connected for a call longer than a few minutes.

A pox on Microsoft.....!

Who's the Fuckee?

Worth the risk....

Why We Should Eliminate the Corporate Income Tax:

"Want to get corporate money out of politics? Want to erode the power of the Chamber of Commerce? Take away one of their primary motives to get involved."

It's lonely at the top...

On the Daily Show, Obama is the last laugh:

"'You don't want to use that phrase, dude,' Stewart recommended with a laugh.

Dude. The indignity of a comedy show host calling the commander in chief 'dude' pretty well captured the moment for Obama. He was making this first-ever appearance by a president on the Daily Show as part of a long-shot effort to rekindle the spirit of '08. In the Daily Show, Obama had a friendly host and an even friendlier crowd.

How Presidential.

Once upon a time jesters courted kings. Now enfeebled kings court jesters. Panting after the approval of the smug comedian Jon "Stewart," Barack Obama taped an interview for The Daily Show on Wednesday.

Sorry, couldn't pass up on the quote....

Is Tuesday looking so bad that even Dennis Kucinich is an endangered species?:

"Obama hasn't visited Ohio as often as he golfs. But he's been there enough to know that the continuing high unemployment rate (10%) in the crucial battleground state is helping to...."

That sure clears it up for me....

World’s Most Precise Clocks Could Reveal Universe Is a Hologram:

“It would be a very strong impact to one of the most open questions in fundamental physics,” he said. “It would be the first proof that space-time, the fabric of the universe, is quantized.”

Something for the National Agenda....

Michael Barone:

"Even more important is the political reality that, as New York union leader Victor Gotbaum said in 1975, “We have the ability, in a sense, to elect our own boss.”

The anomalies don’t end there. Public employees’ union dues and contributions to union PACs come directly from taxpayers. So if you live in a state or city with strong public-employee unions, you are paying a tax that goes to elect Democratic candidates (plus, perhaps, a few malleable Republicans).

The problem is that, as Roosevelt understood, public-employee unions’ interests are directly the opposite of those of taxpayers. Public-employee unions want government to be more expensive and government employees to be less accountable."

Somebody, please, stand up and start some legislation to outlaw public sector unions!!!!
