In America that would be incitement to murder and people would be calling, without any trace of irony, for Sara Palin's head.

 Wouldn't that same logic apply to the "Congress shall make no law" part of the First Amendment as well?  Were these guarantees not later explicitly applied to the States?

 This is a true story

An oil industry representative and an NRCC functionary fell into a friendly conversation during a break from a one of the regulatory board meetings that have pretty much replaced self-government in this country.

The oil guy asked, "What is your ultimate goal, anyway?"

The NRCC guy said, "To ban the use of fossil fuels, of course."

The oil guy responds, "What do you propose to replace them with?"

NRCC: "Oh, that's you're problem."

The problem with triangulating between honest people and dishonest nihilists is that the nihilists in the end will win.  It will just take a little longer.

 Anybody who believes Bill Maher ever had libertarian leaning is a fool, unless by "libertarian" you mean "a great big government that lets me smoke dope."

 Oh, don't worry.  Should Obama lose I'm sure that Gitmo will go back to being The Worst Thing Ever and the subject of endless handwringing.

 Lord, I hope if Romney is get the nomination he's one-quarter as nasty to Obama has he's been to Republican rivals.  I suppose I can say that about Gingrich as well.

 How do people live without pick-up trucks?  What do they do?

I live in a bubble, I'm afraid.

 I like Stephen King but I swear to God his politiics seem to have not got past about 1973.

 What happens to journalists who embarass their employers in this way?

 When they put me in charge I'm going to do one thing:  Suspend all advanced degrees in "education."  If you want your PhD back you'll have to defend your thesis before a panel of real academics.

Then I'll resign and go back to listening to Johnny Horton records.

Lowered expectations for students of color

...except for Asians for some reason.

An increased number of "out of field" teachers instructing minority students in subjects outside their area of expertise

....except for Asians for some reason.

"Unconscious bias" by teachers and administrators

...except against Asians for some reason.

These factors, experts say, produce an opportunity gap for students of color

...except for Asians for some reason.

 My bias against the educrats is highly concious, deliberate, and permanent.

 You're overthinking.  As Rush Limbaugh said, Newt is a vessel and the minute he forgets that he'll crash.

 This ad amplifies Obama's most annoying quirk.  The Straw Man.

No, Mr. President.  No serious person thinks you're Muslim terrorist. 

From our first acquaintance I figured you to be a garden-variety American leftist, perhaps a little more insular than most, and utterly unfamilar with the real world and how it works.

I also figured you to be nowhere near as smart as everyone was saying you were.  (Who could be, really?)

My job gets me up really early.  My metabolism prohibits me from "sleeping in."  So 5 a.m. Sunday is Laundry Time.  By sunup the chores are done and I'm ready to play.

 Lefties are funny. 

The "American Dream" is a myth.  In fact, the fate of an American is determined by his/her race, sex, sexual orientation, and economic status.  Two hundred years of suffering and exploitation make that perfectly clear.

Except for Barack Obama, of course.
