Obama Says U.S. Should Take Action In Syria, Will Seek Congress' Authorization For Use Of Force

Obama can and should express our culture in military terms whenever it is important to do so. The Syria crises, however, does not present the correct theater for a large statement. But Obama is wise to use it still - but to a different end. He will flush the American bloviators out of their bunkers and into the light of day - so they finally pay a price for the spineless nothing that they have to offer.

Police Groups Furiously Protest Eric Holder's Marijuana Policy Announcement

Who does not know that the police, during the previous prohibition, turned into part of the problem when the booze suppliers put the cops on the payroll? Today's prohibition differs only in that we, the public, take assets from the suppliers, pay off the cops from the seized assets, and - exactly like before - the cops become addicted to the money, which will dry up if the crimes cease to exist. So the cops need the crimes to continue in order to keep their jobs.



Lesson unlearned - when you legislate foolishly, the fools run the show.

Police Groups Furiously Protest Eric Holder's Marijuana Policy Announcement

The police of old are gone - dead and never replaced. The new police want cash and jobs - justice is not their beat. Bad law, worse lawyers - and the total absence of political courage, has buried any honor the police ever possessed. And so we end up here, today, with the police profiting from drug prosecution, nearly destroying all remaining vestiges of respect the public still has for the police officer who knocks on the door - and certainly any expectation of being 'served' by the police has disappeared completely.

He is one the most successful politicians of our era and nobody; I mean nobody, has been a greater governor for California in my lifetime.

Obama Comes Out Against Dog Breed-Specific Legislation, Joins The Fight For Pit Bulls

I love the big bouncy energy of a happy pit bull, and I would never ever accept harming any living pit bull, but I do support a concerted effort to diminish their propagation. I am amazed and saddened by our refusal to understand the awful fate they now face. We must steer their kind in a better direction, and not just continue to watch them strut that pit bull stuff we like, and be tempted into disaster - and often state-mandated execution. If we really do love pit bulls we must help them into the future.

Food Stamp Cuts Would Deny Benefits To At Least 4 Million: CBPP

The fact that our nation is dependent on a spongy thing on top of their necks is almost too much to believe - yet it explains every national election perfectly.
