What can you do to top a deal in which socialists bail out even worse socialists, which we got this morning from the Greeks and the masters of the Eurozone? How about a deal in which a group of Islamic fanatics get the go-ahead to build a bomb from a guy who is either the most naive fool ever to grace the world stage or a complete Muslim sympathizer?
On the one hand, I'm pumped about Scott Walker "finally" joining the presidential race - as absurd as that sounds 16 months before the election. On the other hand, I'm already rolling my eyes at what he will now have to go through. Walker will want to talk about his track record of taking on entrenched liberals in crucial battles in Madison - and beating them. Consistently. And he'll want to talk about how he would apply those same approaches to governing the nation - which issues he would choose, why he could emphasis them, how he would succeed in Washington as he has in Madison.
It's the third bailout of Greece in five years. Heck, even Chrysler must be appalled at a performance like that. And while we're still waiting for the details, early reports indicate that Greece's socialist government had to accept much more stringent terms than the ones they told Greek voters to reject just last week.
It's easy just telling everyone yes to whatever they want until you run out of stuff to give them. That's when your creditors own you, and you can talk all you want about resisting "austerity" or whatever, but when you're presented with one way and one way only to prevent the entire collapse of your country . . . there's no way out:
Let's just say this right off: Judge C. Allen McConnell of the Toledo Municipal Court is guilty of nothing. Not hypocrisy. Not bigotry. Not any sort of inconsistency. He's on completely solid ground saying that he came up through the ranks as a champion of civil rights. He did. And he's a civil rights champion to this day.
Score one for the good guys, even if it's only a partial victory. The State of Oregon has failed in its attempt to bankrupt Aaron and Melissa Klein for the crime of declining to bake a cake - as the preposterous $135,000 fine it levied was no match for the willingness of good people to help out the Kleins and their now exclusively online business, Sweet Cakes by Melissa. Through a campaign via Continue to Give, people who still respect both faith and freedom have responded to the following appeal by contributing more than $200,000:
Some of us remember that Barack Obama jetted off to a fundraiser in Las Vegas on the night our consulate in Benghazi was attacked by terrorists associated with Al Qaeda. Now you might be able to offer this defense of the president: He can do his job from anywhere. He has communication capabilities wherever he goes, and he has the freedom to use them any time he wants.
The amazing thing about this is that it was made six years ago - when it was funny enough to imagine liberals trying to PC up the Dukes but still not to the point where you could actually imagine a major cable network pulling it because it isn't. Hats off to Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy for actually having the prescience to see this coming.
