Ted Cruz for Senate
Under The Marble Arch
"I slept and dreamt that life was Joy.
I woke and saw that life was Duty.
I acted, and behold, Duty was Joy."
–Rabindranath Tagore

"The skepticism about human rationality that science inspires should not be taken as support for authoritarianism or paternalism… On the contrary, it should render questionable all claims to wise and disinterested leadership, including those of America’s own altruistic progressive technocrats who propose policies to “nudge” the unenlightened masses into doing the right thing. It makes more sense to think of our leaders and intellectuals as half-crazed hooting howler monkeys — just like the rest of us."
–Michael Lind, Salon, August 23,2011
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009
 “To date, what non-Obama voters see, and fear, is a candidate content to coast to the nomination and then conduct a blandly conservative campaign. They want a more substantive choice than that. They want to have it out over the worth or danger of Barack Obama’s ideas. They want the chance to ratify Washington’s enormous long-term claims on the country’s wealth, or decisively reject them." – Daniel Henninger, WSJ, July 21, 2011

It's Wednesday, And You Need a Laugh

DateWednesday, June 20, 2012 at 08:46AM

Everything on this page made me laugh out loud.

I especially like the part about how conservative justices just watch Fox News to find out how they decide things.  As opposed to the correct way to decide things: by reading other countries' constitutions.

I also especially like the preemptive, "We've been robbed!" tone of the whole thing.  It's kinda classy how they don't blame the Solicitor General for the crap job he did, largely but not completely fueled by the fact that he had to do a Chinatown-slap-scene argument saying one day that the mandate was a tax and the next day it isn't.  On the whole, I think the justices look down on incoherence.  OK, not all the justices (Ruthie, I'm looking at you.)

Amazing how they manage to package such a large amount of pure horse manure into such a small space.
