The Supreme Court Endorses Gluttony in McKutcheon Case
- Details
There is an old fable about the bigger brother and younger brother. Mom asks the older brother, "did you like your dinner?", he replies, "I ate it all up". She then asks the little guy, "and did you like your dinner?", to which he replies, "he ate mine all up, too". Two meals, two boys. This is all too deep to be placed in the context of constitutional and human rights. Of course, the bigger brother can eat twice and, of course, he is not his brother's keeper, technically. And when Mom placed the two dinners before them, her instructions were probably vague. She certainly didn't have to say, "Now you eat your dinner, and you eat your dinner." She sinned by omission - but, hey, it's all about who gets to eat first, eat the most, and to hell with the little guy. In a free society that respects the right of the individual, eat as much as you can. Beside, little brother can go to the refrigerator, the cupboard, or a neighbor's house and scrounge for himself.

Reality Check: November Elections Occur In November
- Details
I am reading and watching a lot of the same crap as everyone else about the November 2014 elections. There is a growing consensus building that the Democrats led by the miserably and historically unpopular President Barack Obama will suffer catastrophic losses. Two former senior communications aides to Mr. Obama acknowledged as much this past week on the Sunday talk shows that I (and a few others only!) happened to catch. The Democrats are in real trouble.
