Audacity of Truth
Move Along:
""The whole issue of this - of talking points, frankly, throughout this process has been a sideshow. The whole thing defies logic. And the fact that this keeps on getting churned out, frankly, has a lot to do with political motivations."

Not enough scandals for you? Here, have four more!
**Posted by Phineas Via Gabriel Malor at Ace’s, who laments that the misbehavior at the EPA has largely flown under the radar, overshadowed so far by the IRS, NSA, Rosen, and so many other stories. He collects them all in a handy post, but here’s a summary: Remember former Administrator Lisa Jackson’s hidden email account using [...]
Oh, no. This won’t set off conservative and libertarian alarm bells at all.
**Posted by Phineas I mean, what’s so threatening about a biometric database of all adult Americans being in the immigration bill, citizen? The immigration reform measure the Senate began debating yesterday would create a national biometric database of virtually every adult in the U.S., in what privacy groups fear could be the first step to a ubiquitous [...]
Study: #BigGulp bans would likely INCREASE soda consumption, obesity
Paging Mayor Bloomberg and other elitist nanny-state types: Attempts to outlaw mega-sized sugary drinks, like New York’s controversial soda ban, could have the unintended consequence of increasing soft drink consumption and obesity, research suggests. In a study published in the April issue of PLoS One, researchers examined whether price trumps portion size when it comes to [...]
NYT op/ed writer: Quit yer b*tchin’, and embrace the nanny state!
The writer of this opinion piece – author and Bowdoin College assistant philosophy professor Sarah Conly – is not an official member of the NYT’s editorial board, but her drool-fest over Bloomberg’s nanny-state power grabs make her a strong contender should an opening become available (bolded emphasis added by me): WHY has there been so much fuss about [...]
The greatest issue facing America: a cruise-ship passengers’ bill of rights
**Posted by Phineas And Chuck Schumer is on the case: Sen. Charles Schumer is calling on the cruise ship industry to adopt a “bill of rights” to guarantee passengers certain protections while aboard their ships. The New York Democrat says Sunday he’ll be asking industry leaders to voluntarily adopt the guidelines which include guarantees that [...]
Presented for your approval: Marco Rubio and Rand Paul school Barack Obama
**Posted by Phineas So, last night was the State of the Union address. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t watch. First off, Obama’s a tedious, hackneyed speaker, and listening to him for an hour would be painful. If you did, you’re made of sterner stuff than I. Second, we know what he’s going [...]
The progressive war on the middle class: Kansas vs. California
**Posted by Phineas A few days ago, reactionary liberal E.J. Dionne wrote a piece in The Washington Post, part of which he devoted to bashing states that implement conservative fiscal and governance policies. And he singled out Kansas, the state with perhaps the most “Tea Party” government, for a ritual “two minutes hate:” In some [...]
Another reason to like Tim Scott
**Posted by Phineas Aside from the fact that the current representative and senator-designate from South Carolina has a good character, the right politics, and a clear-eyed view of our real problem, he worries all the right people: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People isn’t too excited about the appointment of Rep. Tim [...]
#FiscalCliff: The entitlement explosion in must-see charts
Ok, so I’m officially depressed now after seeing this. I knew it was really bad, but seriously underestimated the level. Most Republicans understand this and know tough choices need to be made. Nearly all Democrats, on the other hand, think most entitlements should remain untouched and that instead we should just gut the defense budget. [...]
Secession? No, try federalism
**Posted by Phineas In the wake of the presidential election earlier this month, a lot of people expressed their disappointment with the results by submitting petitions for secession at the White House web site. Petitions were received from all 50 states, and there were several counter-petitions from progressives urging the government to let them go. [...]
