Ever notice how when one of these hair-sprayed wonders (often with a huge belly you can’t see below the desk) goes off his meds on the air the rant is pure Leftist and frequently anti-Semitic.
No wonder CNN is dead last in the audience ratings.

Ian McEwan’s novel Solar is a very funny send-up of the global warming cult in particular and government-dependent scientific research in general. Many Amazon reviewers seem to want to distance themselves from the main character, opportunist-physicist Michael Beard who, as he himself says, has enjoyed a free ride ever since he won a Nobel prize.
He is a cad, certainly, but a very amiable and human one and most of his wives and lovers share his selfish weaknesses—even his mother whose deathbed confession of 17 affairs in five years wins his (and our) admiration.
If anyone is in need of sympathy, it’s his four-year-old daughter, the only innocent in the tale. But she shares his hearty approach to life and one suspects she will turn out all right, enriched by memory of her father, the Expanding Universe, as her mother calls him in his final 65-pounds-overweight incarnation. I enjoyed the author’s novels Atonement and Enduring Love. But neither prepared me for this hilarious hoot whose only real sadness is saved for the final page. Thank you, Mr. McEwan.

There are 4,500 criminal statutes on the federal books alone, according to the Wall Street Journal. Almost half of them have been added since 1970. More than 400 of those have been imposed since 2008. (By you know who.)
Never mind the more than 300,000 regulatory crimes that can also land you in jail. Some like to say Americans commit three felonies every day without even knowing it. The old saw that ignorance of the law is no excuse is a bad joke.
Undoubtedly for the lawmakers as well as the would-be law abiders. How many of our federal pols know every one of these laws? Any? I doubt it.
It would be grand if the new Republican congress could curb congress’s crime addiction. It would be unwise, of course, to count on it. Too bad.
UPDATE: Just the latest regulations are expensive.

3. Didn’t burn the White House down.
And so forth. The other eleven are in that vein as well.
Hey, you gotta give praise where praise is due.

The thugs Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin got all the attention, the demos, the speeches, the news media and the pols…
“Meanwhile, Miriam Carey, a young black [unarmed] mother with her baby in tow, was gunned down in a hail of at least 26 gunshots by Capitol Police in Washington more than a year ago. She committed no crime, but made a wrong turn near the White House. Few facts have been publicly released, and all official video has been suppressed. Despite investigations by the police and Justice Department, no charges have been recommended against any police officers. There have been no demonstrations…”
I’m with WND writer Joseph Farah, I still don’t get it.

Our local H.E.B. was sold out of the magic peas when I went late this afternoon so I scurried a few miles across the neighborhood to Randall’s and lo and behold they had several cans left. “I’ll be damned,” I said aloud I was so surprised to find any. A woman in the aisle beside me said, “Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot.”
The peas were ordered up by Mrs. Charm who said we didn’t eat them on New Year’s Day last year and “Look what happened.” She was diagnosed with cancer. So this time she didn’t want to take any chances.
The magic is an old Southern tradition meticulously observed in our (Central) part of Texas. Eat black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day and you’ll have a lucky year. Don’t and you won’t. Like I say the mrs is in no mood to tempt fate again. So I didn’t give up when I found the shelves bare of them at H.E.B. And I’m sure glad I didn’t. Eat your peas, America!
