Former Congressman Eric Massa (D-NY), who is accused of sexually harassing male staffers and resigned Monday, told this story about White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel: "I'm sitting there showering naked as a jaybird and here comes Rahm Emanuel not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest yelling at me because I wasn't going to vote for the president's budget. Do you know how awkward it is to have a political argument with a naked man?"

If anyone was looking for a self-righteous extreme feminist, they found one in Angie Jackson. This is a woman who was so proud she was aborting her baby that she announced she would "tweet" her chemical-cocktail abortion live, as it happened, on Twitter. The liberal media found this made-for-TV slaughter fascinating, and not at all a controversy worthy of discussing with two sides.

As reported by The Washington Post, "President Obama's proposed budget would add more than $9.7 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, congressional budget analysts said Friday." CNN adds, "Of that amount, an estimated $5.6 trillion will be in interest alone." The Post continues: "The CBO (Congressional Budget Office) and the White House (are) ... both predicting a deficit of about $1.5 trillion this year -- a post-World War II record at 10.3 percent of the overall economy. But the CBO is considerably less optimistic about future years, predicting that deficits would never fall below 4 percent of the economy under Obama's policies and would begin to grow rapidly after 2015 ..."

Walter E. Williams: "While American politicians and intellectuals have not reached the depths of tyrants such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler, they share a common vision. Tyrants denounce free markets and voluntary exchange. They are the chief supporters of reduced private property rights, reduced rights to profits, and they are anti-competition and pro-monopoly. They are pro-control and coercion, by the state. These Americans who run Washington, and their intellectual supporters, believe they have superior wisdom and greater intelligence than the masses."

It’s easy to see why liberals are convinced that they’re superior to conservatives. For one thing, in nearly all cases, professors in the liberal arts and members of the mainstream media are left-wingers. But you don’t have to be very intelligent or even the slightest bit honest to make one’s living in either field. To be a liberal arts professor, the major prerequisite is a willingness to endure sitting in classrooms from the time you’re six years old until the day you die.

"It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please. Certainly no such universal power was meant to be given them. It [the Constitution] was intended to lace them up straightly within the enumerated powers and those without which, as means, these powers could not be carried into effect."

WASHINGTON -- It is said, more frequently than precisely, that the
reasons the Supreme Court gives for doing whatever it does are as important
as what it does. Actually, the court's reasons are what
it does. Hence, the interest in the case the Supreme Court considered last
week. It probably will result in a routine ruling that extends a 2008
decision and renders dubious many state and local gun control laws.

Some years ago, one of my favorite doctors retired. On my last visit to his office, he took some time to explain to me why he was retiring early and in good health. Being a doctor was becoming more of a hassle as the years went by, he said, and also less fulfilling. It was becoming more of a hassle because of the increasing paperwork, and it was less fulfilling because of the way patients came to him.

The guy who shot two police officers at the Pentagon before being killed was an anti-Bush "truther." Did politics play a role or was he just nuts?

It is now exactly a year since President Obama unveiled his health-care push and his decision to devote his inaugural year to it — his branding year, his first, vivid year.
What a disaster it has been.

Good news everyone. "Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good." So says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Accompanied by his teleprompter, Barack Obama began a renewed push for a vote on the health care bill by Easter when he met a group of people wearing lab coats in the Rose Garden on Wednesday.
And he accused Rep. Eric Cantor of using a "prop" by bringing the 2,400-page bill itself to last week's health care summit.

Barack Obama didn't always think ramming through health care "reform" with reconciliation was a good idea.
Obama was right then, though he was merely campaigning. He has always been motivated by radical ideology and narcissism. His present course of calling for a 50-plus-1 victory is just part of the game.
