  2. From Mark Steyn’s “A Phalanx of Lies”:

    The Canadian and British health systems get by on the principle that, as bad as they are, for enough people they’re good enough, and you don’t have to think about it. Obamacare doesn’t even meet that modest standard, and it’s not clear it ever will. You have to think about it constantly, alert to every potentially catastrophic regulatory tweak that might scuttle your next prescription refill. On Day One, the junkies were eager for their fix: As the administration crowed, the site received 4.7 million unique visits. By the following morning, the HHS “war room” was informed that “six enrollments have occurred so far.” That’s six as in half a dozen, as in fewer people than in just one vehicle of Obama’s 40-car motorcade..

    The whole thing here.

  5. Re: Soviet singers.
    That’s quite a bit different than what we were taught in school or in the movie Doctor Zhivago. No grey uniforms??

  9. Grover Norquist details the dire need for US immigration reform.
    QFTs: “Historically, opposition to immigration in the United States has been racially and religiously motivated in the ugliest, nastiest way possible,” says Grover Norquis
    We have a 55 mile-an-hour speed limit immigration policy, when the cars on the roads are built for 75 and 80. When we had the 55 mile-an-hour speed limit under Carter, we didn’t run around saying: “We must enforce the law first. Before we consider changing the speed limit, we should imprison everybody who was involved in speeding.” That’s silly. You say: “You change the stupid law, and then you enforce it.”

  10. Oh, my. Mayor Rob Ford makes Ace’s blog
    It’s depressing how the left piled on the guy, but that animated gif is hilarious, and so are some of the comments (“Mayor Chris Farley”).

  13. This via Breitbart-
    The APA has reclassified Pedophilia from a sexual disorder to a sexual orientation.
    What’s next???

  14. The Ontario Socialist State of Avarice has decreed that all trades-people must register with a fictitious College of Trades that does nothing but collect $600 a year. It is a tax on trade people. Way to boost the economy eh?

  15. That is an idiotic analogy by norquist, but i will go with it:
    Thus he recommends letting the speed on a road through a school zone or a parking lot with lots of pedestrians be what ever the will of the drivers is.
    Of course there is a better solution:
    A speed bump.
    In the instance of immigration that would take the form of a wall the entire length of the border modeled upon that between the West Bank and Israel.

  18. “The Man Who Made Sea-Level Rise Go Away”
    “MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. – John Droz Jr. is not the stereotypical back-room political player: A tall and trim 67, bespectacled with a shorn scalp, he’s a man who prefers sweater vests and jeans rather than crisp suits and bears more resemblance to a retired high-school science teacher than a political heavyweight.
    Yet this semi-retired real-estate investor and self-described environmental advocate spends much of his time quietly and effectively plying the halls of power in Raleigh, N.C., deflecting credit and avoiding the spotlight.
    “This isn’t about me,” he offered, repeatedly.
    What it’s about, however, is Droz’ outsized role in shaping science’s influence on public policy—on climate change, sea-level rise, the advantages of renewable energy over fossil fuels. His work has rippled far beyond Raleigh’s 1960s-era State Legislative Building and into the national debate on how to respond to warnings raised by climate scientists.”

  20. Some sad news.
    My front page headline yesterday read” Chretien says he had the good sense not to appoint Duffy to the Senate”.
    Quick thoughts of Lavigne and Harb ran through my head before I realized Alzheimers is so prevalent today.
    In fact, so prevalent in the media, there oughta be a dedicated fundraiser.
