When the Truth shall set you Free, AmeriSoc gets Lying

The Crapping of a Nation
"indeed, citizens of many Continental countries now have more – what's the word? – liberty in matters of health care than Americans. That's to say, they have genuinely universal government systems alongside genuinely private-system alternatives. Only in America does "health" "care" "reform" begin with the hiring of 16,500 new IRS agents tasked with determining whether your insurance policy merits a fine. It is the perverse genius of Obamacare that it will kill off what's left of a truly private health sector without leading to a truly universal system. However, it will be catastrophically unaffordable, hideously bureaucratic, and ever more coercive."

Versailles Smiles Upon Thee, O Happy Roberts

Beloved Hero of Planet Pepe ......................................................................... But those stinking peasants, on the Rube side of the Potomac, ain't feelin' dat Love. An NRO worth his salt: Goldberg punches Roberts in the gut ............................................................................... Farmer Hanson doesn't trust this catshit the Establishment claims to be the finest of guano
"Now, I don’t know what’s in Roberts’s heart, but no court watcher I’ve heard from puts much weight on the idea that Roberts did anything other than reason backward from the result he wanted in order to buy respect from the court’s critics at the expense of his own beliefs. At least that’s one thing both fans and critics of this ruling can largely agree on."

An attempt at Cartesian Logic

The Constitution requires tax increases to originate in the House of Representatives. See Art. I, §7, cl. 1. That is to say, they must originate in the legislative body most accountable to the people, where legislators must weigh the need for the tax against the terrible price they might pay at their next election, which is never more than two years off. The Federalist No. 58 “defend[ed] the decision to give the origination power to the House on the ground that the Chamber that is more accountable to the people should have the primary role in raising revenue.” We have no doubt that Congress knew precisely what it was doing when it rejected an earlier version of this legislation that imposed a tax instead of a requirement-with-penalty. Imposing a tax through judicial legislation inverts the constitutional scheme, and places the power to tax in the branch of government least accountable to the citizenry. Article $n$, Section $m$ does not apply...

Dem Hoorahs for Dred Scott and Obama Too

Imperator Obamakles Triumphant ................................................................ Gotta give it to the Dems, when the Supremes got their back they achieve Great Things: Keeping people "in their place" before the power of Massa being about as great a thing we can expect from Da Strong Donkey.

Strange new respect

Nazi bitch Coulter saw it coming, back in '05. Kraut finds a silver lining. Bah, humbug.

Mullahed Wine

Drink is Dada Bah, those pathetic kufr "Western" scientists may think drinking wine is good for your health, but Allah Knows Best!

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

It's come to this: when flying, you either sit next to a guy who just kicked the bucket, or next to ten douches jabbering madly into their brain fryers. I think I'll take a boat, next time I cross the pond.

Chicago law

Da Chicago Way is getting curiouser and curiouser. Maybe Charly can explain the finer points of Windy City jurisprudence?

Dreaming of the Union of the Twin Pravdas

One Voice to Rulz d'Em All Duh, we were just confabulating about this yesterday. Planet Pepe is getting kinda too predictable.

Comrades, do NOT heed this mere evidence. Remember, It's Bush's Fault

Versailles Needs No Facts to Interfere with its Carbon Tax Profiteering "The sediment reveals periods of extreme warmth that show the polar regions are much more vulnerable to change than previously thought, and are difficult to explain by greenhouse gases alone, said the study in the journal Science. Scientists have long known that the Arctic went through climate cycles, but the latest research shows some of these warm phases were "exceptional," with temperatures four to five degrees Celsius (7.2 to nine degrees Fahrenheit) warmer and 12 inches (30 centimeters) wetter than during normal interglacials, the study said. Two of these "super-interglacials" happened about 400,000 years ago and 1.1 million years ago, and the data suggests it was virtually impossible for Greenland's ice sheet to have existed in its present form at those times. But just what caused these extreme changes remains a mystery." As Planet Pepe would be so bold to suggest, this just shows how long the Bushiburtonistas have been hatching this diabolical Global Warming, eh?

The Charly Doctrine in Thought and Action

You know, that doctrine that the Grey Old Versaillean Madame is a masterpiece of discretion between the "Editorial Stance" and the "Article Content"...because the old bitch really really tries so hard. News Fit to Print..No Editorializing Here, no Siree Bob

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...

AmeriSoc Finds the Unreal Very Very Useful...part MMCCCXIV

The Perfect Con A tax for not making use of a product which does not exist??? Brilliant, Pepe, Brilliant.

The Empire strikes back

Dissent from Lyssenkoist orthodoxy will not be tolerated in Pepea.

Same old, same old

Happens all the time among Episcopalians, who really, really hate a song and a dance. Says Charly.

PlanetPepe-On-Charles: Da Uber Bloombergia

Hey, Tecumseh, we git goin' early we could make a fortune as the Fizzy Pop Kings of da Cambridge black market. Radiantly Forward Down the River Charly

AmeriSoc wears Pravda

Googling The Capital Orwellian Yer see, it just says "Congress shall make no law..." abridging the freedom of speech. But it didn't spell out that the Tsar of Czars couldn't do it, eh? ... Obamakles Rulz.

Non-pinko car

Counterpoint: Pepe's car, viewed from the back. Great stickers, man!

Chicago follies

Your typical Charly stunt: two lobbyists for a local teachers’ union who, though they had never held government jobs, obtained full government pensions by doing a single day of substitute teaching apiece.

The Teutonic core and the Latin periphery

Where does Pepe fit? Le cul entre deux chaises, that's where.

Death Comes for the Illustrated Man

Of Libraries and a now lost LA "Though I am old with wandering Through hollow lands and hilly lands, I will find out where she has gone And kiss her lips and take her hands; And walk among long dappled grass, And pluck till time and times are done The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun."

"Nearer my China to Thee" Thomas Friedman's Days of Joy

AnmeriSoc Builds a Versailles upon the Potomac "What I want is a more dynamic economy and a fairer society," he [Stiglitz] says, suggesting income inequality is ultimately detrimental to those at the top, too. "My point is we've created an economy that is not in accord with the principles of the free market."............... Nor in accord with a free republic.

Big Obamakles Knows All, Sees All....

kinda consistent with the aim of Power over All Imagine what could happen if this sort of Party were to rule the country...........nah, what's to worry? Obamakles ain't a Christer, so it's all cool and copascetic on Planet Pepe.

MFT in Boston

AA and Tecs, I arrive in Boston on June 11, at 8:35PM. AA, send me an e-mail asap so we can make arrangements.

On Pepe's dime

Charly's tax euros hard at work. Finally, finally, some good use comes of it, by letting the Nanny State take care of moi. Though, I must say, I was totally underwhelmed by the TGV--supposedly the crown jewel of Frenchie technology. Unlike the lowliest Greyhound bus on a dingy run to Albany, this train has no WiFi--the horror, the horror! I mean, duh -- when will Charly pay up to install free WiFi everywhere? It's a basic human right, no? And, to add insult to injury, there was no juice in those Frenchie plugs. The TGV guy says it's due to an electrical malfunction. Man, oh, man. Charly, I think this is what happens when you don't pay enough taxes. I'm waiting for Dutch to increase your tax rate to 75%, and then perhaps -- perhaps -- they'll figure out how to get current flowing in those fancy choo-choo trains.
