The Liberal Mind, Part I: Harry Reid Blurs The Line Between "Voluntary" & "Coercive"

I really thought he would go with the Rousseaunian General Will approach and claim that the American system is a representative democracy and, as such, the government's taxation is sanctioned by the populace and that tacit consent is given to the expropriation of private resources for the public coffer by the citizens' choices to remain in the country.

But, I liked his approach better since it's just so very much stupider. His complete disconnect from reality is astounding. The interviewer was pretty weak though. The issue could have been pushed so much further than it was but it still makes for some satisfying shadenfreude.

Breaking: NY Governor Elliot Spitzer Linked With Prostitution Ring, Criminal Charges Pending

This man just committed political suicide. It was no piddling little prostitution ring either. Apparently a night with one of these girls costs you about $6,000. Was it worth it, Spitzy?

Kate has some details and snarks off a bit about the drivers licenses for illegal immigrants fiasco. It's safe to say she won't be missing him.

And, as always, insight and ridicule from the magnificent morons at Ace of Spades.

Rumours are beginning to circulate of his impending resignation. He's already admitted he was involved in the ring and has apologized to his family and the public at large so I would guess he's done like dinner.
