Massachusetts residents love to pay taxes

.. which isn’t strictly true, but is true enough that they keep electing Democrats. How about that hanging curveball? Still hanging, and no swing of the bat that I can see.

Modified limited hangout all over again?

Make no mistake about: Fast and Furious was perhaps the most shameful domestic law and order operation since the Waco siege. Ah, but Mr Rot just adored that operation...

Aahh, the French

Rwns pull for pinkos

"The Gundersen approach empowers patients and families to control and direct their care." Unfortunately for Newt's current political prospects, Gunderson aggressively promoted an Obamacare provision that was later yanked from the bill pursuant to public indignation about "death panels." Essentially, it would have provided extra payment for physicians who "engage patients and their families regarding end-of-life planning."

Perry's Solyndra problem

Kimberley Strassel joins Mr Rot's ever-expanding shit list: It used to be that Republican governors competed for business by lowering taxes and regulations. Then some genius worked out that it was easier to flat-out bribe companies to relocate by offering cold, hard taxpayer cash. And with green energy all the rage, a lot of state tax dollars started flowing to Solyndra-like ventures. Mr. Perry did all this on a grand scale, convincing his legislature to create two investment funds, one being the Emerging Technology Fund, which has acted as state venture capitalist to more than a hundred firms, including green companies.

Fin de civilisation

So they are in favor of open borders, presumably so that exotic Third World peasants can perform the labor to which they are noticeably averse. Of the 13 items on that “proposed list of demands,” Demand Four calls for “free college education,” and Demand Eleven returns to the theme, demanding debt forgiveness for all existing student loans.

Rick "Rot" Perry and Occupy Wall Street: même combat. Well, some tiny differences here and there, but the basic idea is the same: someone else must pick the tab.

Aahhh, the French

But gauche and droite is different from left and right. Translated to American politics, the policy difference between the Socialist party and the National Front is roughly equivalent to the distance between a Democratic congressman from California and a Blue Dog congressman from West Virginia. With Charly as Nancy?

Add Mark Steyn to Mr Rot's expanding shit list

“In a two-party system, we’re covered on that. The Democrats will do the kind of cheap racism demagoguery that you don’t like people called ‘José,’ you don’t have any heart. We should have an alternative to that in a two-party system.” Mais non, mais non, says Rot.

Here's the crash.

OK, so I hope Obama keeps his cool so that Tecs will keep supporting him.
Theme song for Bernanke.
Dirges for us all.

Of course, Mr Rot was also a McGovern Democrat back in the roaring 1990s

Yet another speech. Scheduling conflict.

When a Rotter says "Bite Me, Biatch" 19 times too many.

Rot's fruity delegation back at it again

The hat. Where is the hat? Mac got it.

In other news, Mac gets reincarnated as Mr Rot's favorite maverick.

McCain redux?

Want more Huntsman fun? His top strategist is John Weaver. Weaver at one time was McCain's top guy, including during the period of time when McCain was flirting with the idea of becoming a Democrat. Ululululu, says Mr Rot.

History repeats itself

President George H. W. Bush’s 1991 call for a popular uprising against Saddam had been heeded by the Iraqi people, only to have Saddam then murder some 30,000 of them from helicopter gunships while the Western world stood by.... But it now it seems Qaddafi will be allowed to repeat a Saddam-style repression, even as President Obama, and the rest of what he likes to call the international community, is “watching carefully.”
