You Say You Want An Evolution

Roll Call notes that Obama has not yet evolved on marijuana reform. The story presents a tough choice - which is funnier, the idea of Obama as a "leader", or this quaint description of an earlier time in US history by White House prerssflack Josh Earnest:

"...At the same time, the president does not — you know, at this point, advocate a change in the law.”

Wait, Obama considers himself to be limited by the actual law? What happened to a simple exercise in prosecutorial discretion, as with his implementation of much of the Dream Act by Executive fiat? Or his ongoing Obamacare revisions?

I guess the polling on marijuana reform isn't where it needs to be at the moment, and the Big Hollywood money hasn't adopted this as the latest fashion.

"Conflict is the whole point of community organizing.

...community organizers generally assume that social change necessarily involves conflict and social struggle

"War is not an intellectual debate, and in the war against social evils there are no rules of fair play....""

Alinsky was one smart asshole. I wonder what his motivation was.

"Actually, I wonder how many people who don't get their news from the IT know about the increasing black on white crime inspired by Trayvon."

Last night on Fox, Juan Williams and Allan West were actually in agreement that the problem is in the black community, and with the race-batters like Sharpton And JJ (I don't know if they mentioned them by name) who attack anyone like Cosby who dares to say so.

The situation in the ME just keeps going from worse to even more worse.

Lebanese city of Tripoli rocked by deadly explosions

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-23811328

At least 27 people have been killed and more than 350 injured by two blasts in Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli, officials say.

Looks like the Shia decided to bomb two Sunni mosques as retaliation for the recent bombing in South Beirut. They may have managed to kill one of the top Sunni clerics as well. And they are just getting warmed up.

On the topic of a dictionary of nicknames, narciso is the source of a significant number of them,

The Horde is as incredulous at tha L&O SVU nonsense as here, albeit a bit late to find out about it having jettisoned it a long time ago. I expect that ace, as a maven of popular culture trash, will post about it later.

Everybody here is forgetting one thing.

This would have to be a conspiracy so vast.
