The reason the battle in Wisconsin is so bitter is that the Wisconsin Republicans are doing what Reagan attempted to do and failed to do: Defund the left. Previously schools were required to buy health insurance through the teachers union. Being free to shop around for health insurance appears to save over half a million dollars per school The dissenting opinion, The Stratasphere, Public School Spending That is over a half a million dollars a year of taxpayer funded left …

More fake violence in Greece
A little of the violence is real, indeed more and more of it is real, but the vast majority of it is still imitation violence by astroturf, which I conjecture is imitation riot theater instigated by the government against itself to dramatize its imitation austerity theater. Observe the trash fires at 0:14. Real rioters burn stuff more valuable than trash, and light bigger fires. Observe at 0:24 the group of protestors armed with white sticks, all the sticks identical, and …
McConnell tells Obama he can stick it in a little bit
House Republican leader McConnell tells Obama he can stick it into the Republicans just a little bit, but not all the way, and must stop if it starts to hurt.
Actual Greek riots
Last year the riots were entirely fake, astroturf government rioters theatrically engaging in pretend conflict with government police. This time, there was some fake violence, and some quite real violence.
Entryism goes public
The SEIU is a far left organization, far far further to the left than any elected Democrat will admit to being.  It is the voice of the state organized as political interest group. It has always been a major force backing “moderate†Republicans.
Yes, inferior races have smaller cranial capacities on average
So what is a politically correct intellectual allowed to say? Lately, people who are quite politically correct and academically respectable, are acknowledging that Gould and Lewontin were wrong and making $#!% up, and no heresy charges ensue. Indeed, they have been pissing on Lewontin since 2003. Now if Lewontin is wrong, then the races are genetically different in important ways, if Gould is wrong, then Darwin is right that races are the origin of species, and Morton was right that …
Again the brilliance of Sarah Palin
In her supposedly non campaign tour during which she is theoretically not seeking the republican presidential nomination Sarah Palin told us: Come on, everyone knows who Paul Revere, the silversmith and patriot is. “He warned the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin’ sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going …
Death panels
No, Obama is not setting up death panels. He is just creating rules that hospitals can only comply with if they quietly and unofficially have death panels for medicare patients. If a hospital discharges a patient who lingers on for years sucking up lots of expensive services outside the hospital, the hospital is penalized. If, however, the potentially expensive patient should conveniently croak while in hospital … In a number of European countries, quite a lot of patients die “under …
Governor Romneycare promises to be a better Obama
Governor Romneycare is campaigning to be the Republican presidential candidate. He tells us that: Every turnaround has three rules. Focus, focus, focus. Focus on what’s most important, devote all your energy to that which is broken. … Instead of focusing his energy on the economy he delegated the stimulus to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and they built a stimulus which grew government jobs but didn’t grow private-sector jobs. And then he went to work on his real agenda. And …
Censorship
Like a frog boiled, we have now reached Stalinist levels of censorship. They won’t send you to the gulag, but in the later days of Stalinism they seldom did that. Rather, your career depended on compliance I was listening to Chris Rock’s hilarious rant “We hate black people too!” and my son became alarmed, lest some one sneak up on my house and listen near the windows.
