Death Threats for Everyone!

No, not really. I’m going to assume this guy’s name is Mike Clark, and his Twitter bio says he’s in Memphis, TN. Sending somebody a death threat is dumb to begin with, but doing so via a Twitter account with your name and location on it? That takes a special brand of stupid. Ann Althouse just…

Quote of the Day

From Legal Insurrection Why do these people, many of whom are professionals, feel no fear in expressing such death wishes in the open? This is in response to the situation in Wisconsin, where the public sector unions have had their wings clipped. Apparently a lot of people are quite upset about that. This one for example…

Wisconsin

I suspect many NZers would be completely unaware of what’s going on in Wisconsin. I must confess that I’ve only picked up the second half of the story, so was interested to read this article this morning. For in the end, the images and messages tell the story. The showdown in Madison pits pampered public…

The Commerce Clause

Interesting analysis by Aaron Worthing on Patterico: So it has to be commerce, and it has to be “among” the states, i.e. interstate.  And that is even more restrictive than it sounds to our modern ears.  For instance in Jacob’s New Law Dictionary, published in 1783, the term commerce was limited to the moving of goods—which doesn’t…

Kucinich proves he has what it takes to be president

Kucinich was the last holdout to John Kerry for the Democratic nomination in 2004. That’s not to say he had a chance, he just decided he’d keep going in spite of recieving close to zero support. Oh, and he was the only one of them who was actually prepared to admit he’s a liberal. I’m…

An attempted assassination you won’t have heard about

Via twitter. In September 2010 Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon was scheduled to speak at Penn Valley Community College in Kansas City. At some point, wearing black clothes and a bullet-proof vest, 22 year-old Casey Brezik bolted out of a classroom, knife in hand, and slashed the throat of a dean. As he would later admit,…

Surveying Marks

I just thought I’d go on the record here. I do not agree that the famed Palin political map contained “Surveying Markers” or any other such thing. They were targets. The races were targeted. That’s why she used a target*. I know people have a problem with that, but I believe this fellow has something…

“The Blame Game”

From Big Journalism. Like I’ve said for some time, there are crazy people on both sides of politics. I watched as mainstream media double-downed on yesterday’s massacre by orchestrating a massive defamation against conservatives. It made me physically ill to watch corporate reporters abuse the title of “news” in order to prostitute the dead for…

Quote of the day – “Things Politicans should never say” edition

Who else but Charlie Rangel? This is at the Rangel presser following the censure vote. REPORTER: What’s your response to those who say if you were an average citizen, you would be punished more severely? RANGEL: “I don’t deal in average American citizens”

And you thought Winston was Bad

Found this via twitter. Rangel sauntered into the hearing room – a chamber much less grand than his former Ways & Means lair – wearing a striped tie as loud as the TV test pattern. Rangel smiled as if arriving at a cocktail reception, then stood at attention at the defense table until the committee…
