Some quick hits on a bad day

No, it wasn't bad because yesterday was primary day.  I'll post on that probably tomorrow.  I'm having a wonderful day with a sinus infection, so here's a few tidbits to hold you over. . . .


1.  Mitt Romney's Afghanistan strategy is different from Barack Obama's, except that . . . they are both the same.  And they're both terrible.

2.  President Obama--that great advocate for civil liberties--believes that the government needs even more unaccountable surveillance powers.

3.  Democrats want Elizabeth Warren to retool her ads.  I wonder when they're going to figure that that she's just a bad candidate.

4.  Something really big hit Jupiter and exploded.  Which will get about as much press as the fact that President Obama has been the worst president for civil liberties in modern history (against stiff competition from W, but Barack has stayed the course to finish in first).

Oh-My-God! Steve. Are you even an American???

My gosh! We were attacked yesterday. And you call Romney an idiot for wanting to have a strong response to the attacks.

Hey Steve, I have an idea. Why don't you just hand our country over to the Islamists. Surrender Steve. I'm sure you'll do just fine under Sharia Law.

My gosh. I am this fucking close to ending our friendship. You suck dude. I am just ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED WITH YOUR COMMENT ON ROMNEY. A BIG FUCK YOU STEVE. A BIG FUCK YOU!

Eric, calm down.

Any friendship based on lies, needs to end. Steve is correct. You aren't

Romney has no plan. Period. Romney creates problems. Period. We need someone to solve them. Period. And it ain't Romney.

Your defense of him has me cracking up just thinking you think you are serious. It is like someone defending Bozo the clown as a good leader... I seriously doubt even one person takes you seriously.

You Romney follower you. The longer you stay, the worse you look. Just sayin' for your own good.

I originally came to the comment page to say thank you for number 4 Jupiter. I would have missed that. Seems like sometimes we are just too busy with junky politics and miss the real important things.

Thanks for the save...

Keep up the good work, Steve.

That's why you weren't at the debates tonight. You missed my LP tirade. Get well soon, I need you for the next fighting round.

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

With apologies to Hube: dopey WNJ comments of the week

(Well, Hube, at least I'm pulling out Facebook comments and not poaching on your preserve in the Letters.) You will all remember the case this week of the photo of the young man posing with the .22LR squirrel rifle that his Dad got him for his birthday with resulted in Family Services and the local police attempting to search his house.  The story itself is a travesty since neither the father nor the boy had done anything remotely illegal (and check out the picture for how careful the son is being not to have his finger inside the trigger guard when the photo was taken). But the incident is chiefly important for revealing in the Comments Section--within Delaware--the fact that many backers of "common sense gun laws" really do have the elimination of 2nd Amendment rights and eventual outright confiscation of all privately held firearms as their objective: Let's run that by again: Elliot Jacobson says, This instance is not a case of a father bonding with h

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?
