Overnight Open Thread (12-8-2013)Even Obama Can't Violate Fundamental Laws of Politics There is an ironclad law of redistributive politics at play in the ACA (ObamaCare) fiasco. Yep signs like this are a sign of a major politics FAIL:
Why Government Hates the Family The long-term goal of the government's social policies are to flatten society out into one atomized mass. There will be only the state and the individual, and the individual will have no protection, no mediating institutions, between itself and the state. Because your real family is all your fellow progressive comrades. Both of these videos show people being fatally shot. They're not graphic but consider this a content warning. Here two armed robbers in Brazil hold up a pizza place but don't realize a policeman saw them. And here is another video showing a traffic stop gone bad. Can you spot when the gunman was fatally shot? Answer: Nope because guns aren't death rays. Guess who is the world's largest producer of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon fuels (oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids)? For years it has been Russia, which is deeply dependent on the production and export of such products (taxes and tariffs on them provide 40 percent of the government's budget). And all this is despite Obama's best efforts. Matt Yglesias Goes to a Walmart And finds it surprisingly great. Like most good urban liberals, I've been engaged in a lifelong near-boycott of Walmart. Not so much out of any deeply felt, principled objections to the store, but because they don't really build Walmarts in big liberal cities. When the company tries to set up shop in a liberal town, it's frequently stymied by union groups and their allies. The myriad zoning and permitting rules surrounding urban land create many avenues for groups with political clout to block disfavored stores, and such moves have, for example, kept Walmart out of New York City for years. But completely passé since it didn't satisfy his needs at the moment. Still, while wandering around, it was hard to avoid the conclusion that the urban-format Walmart may be an idea whose time has already passed. The store was actually surprisingly busy for a midmorning Wednesday, with seemingly half the off-duty shift workers and scooter-bound disabled residents of the city plying the aisles. But there was nothing I wanted to buy. And here is a classic video of two brits visiting Walmart who find their snark overcome by admiration of the behemoth known as a Walmart Megastore. Kevin Kelley is the head football coach at Pulaski Academy in Little Rock, Arkansas. In games, he instructs his team to never punt, to never receive punts, and almost always onside kick. 5 Animal Rights Campaigns That Managed to Screw Over Animals The Humane Society wanted to euthanize all of Michael Vick's dogs (luckily a judge disagreed) and then just a few years later worked to allow him to get more dogs. WTF? NBC's 1983 Fall Preview of TV Shows Man these sure sucked more than I remembered. Sturgeon's Law definitely applies.
