The White House Is Right, Bob Woodward Will Probably ‘Regret This’ | Mediaite

The White House Is Right, Bob Woodward Will Probably ‘Regret This’ | Mediaite: "When they came for Fox, they did not stand up because they did not work for Fox. The media’s lot is now well and truly cast with the administration – their fates are linked. Whatever his contribution to journalism, Bob Woodward will soon find that no single reporter is irreplaceable."

Opinion: Republicans need to go negative - Keith Koffler - POLITICO.com: "Reagan today is viewed as kind of an avuncular figure who meant well, even if some disagreed with him.

What even Republicans forget is that before rising to the presidency, Reagan was often portrayed and perceived as a lunatic right wing ideologue who said mean things and might get us into a war."

Politico wonders: Has Obama’s media strategy made government more powerful? « Hot Air: "Perhaps we need a Republican President at all times so that the press can act like the independent watchdog that it believes itself to be, rather than the lapdog that it has become under a Democratic President."

Hey Kids: Tonight You're Young, Tomorrow You're Unemployed - Reason.com

Hey Kids: Tonight You're Young, Tomorrow You're Unemployed - Reason.com: "Today’s youth is being turned out into a world where they face an unemployment rate of 13 percent – five points higher than the overall figure – and in which they will be forced for the first time to buy health insurance plans they may not want or need to subsidize the premiums of older Americans. It’s a feature, not a bug, of Obamacare that premiums for those under 30 will increase by as much as 50 percent while those over 60 will pay 10 percent less. If the economists Carmen Reinhart, Vincent Reinhart, and Kenneth Rogoff are correct in their “debt overhang” theory, the massive levels of sustained debt the U.S. has racked up over the past decade may substantially reduce economic growth by something like 24 percent over the next twenty years or more."

Of course: Former EPA chief “Richard Windsor” had some buddies « Hot Air: "So, it turns out that multiple officials within the Obama administration may have been using ‘unofficial’ e-mail accounts to try to fly their controversial agenda beneath the radar of public notice and hide the agency’s pervasive “we do what we want, the costs be damned” attitude? Meh. Just a day in the life of the Obama administration, a.k.a., The Most Transparent Administration, Evah."

Video: How 3-D printers will make magazine-capacity limits obsolete « Hot Air

Video: How 3-D printers will make magazine-capacity limits obsolete « Hot Air: "Attempting to revive the 1994 assault-weapons ban ignores the lack of impact it had on gun violence, a point made repeatedly since its 2004 expiration and the subsequent annual decline in overall gun deaths and the small percentage of those related to rifles of any kind. It’s politically and statistically obsolete — and now it’s close to being technologically obsolete, too.  Perhaps government should focus on the criminals and the crime rather than on the legal possessors of firearms in the future."

CO Democrat: Even if you feel like you might get raped, you may not, so no guns for you « Hot Air

CO Democrat: Even if you feel like you might get raped, you may not, so no guns for you « Hot Air: "Downplaying the threat of rape? Check. Questioning the ability of grown, sentient women to perceive that threat? Check. A man in a position of power presuming to know what’s best for women he knows nothing about? Check. Limiting women’s choices by law in potentially life-threatening situations? Check. Six months ago, this was known as the frightful patriarchy. Now, it’s just another member of the Party of Women doing his part for the good work of gun control."
