The proposition that the people are the best keepers of their own liberties is not true.
They are the worst conceivable,
they are no keepers at all;
they can neither judge, act, think, or will, as a political body.

Rand Paul Announces For President 2016
Congratulations, NCAA Basketball Champions, Duke University!
I caught the tail end of the game after Duke had battled back from a 9-point deficit, right in the middle of a Duke run which would make their win all but inevitable. I was perplexed by one Duke player's failed attempt to race down the court for a layup rather than burn some time off the clock. What's truly scary is that Duke has 4 freshmen in its starting lineup, which means they should be a strong force to repeat over at least the next 2 years. I was secretly rooting for Duke, because I had some negative experiences during my 3 years as a UWM faculty member (I feel similarly about UTEP); granted, Madison is not Milwaukee, but Madison is home to the "progressive" crazies in Wisconsin.

Dead Fish Beats Populist Leftist to Win Reelection in Chicago
This blog is not a friend to Rahm Emanuel, and make no mistake: his reelection is a Pyrrhic victory with plummeting bond ratings, a huge budget deficit, and a multi-billion dollar pension financing disaster--but his opponent was from the crackpot economically clueless leftist populist wing of the Democratic Party where Bernie "the Socialist" and Cherokee Lizzie reside, not unlike the leftists running the Greek economy into the ground. At least Emanuel doesn't roll over every time the teacher union barks at him.
