Bricker, You're a Jackass Extraordinaire

Does he ever? I can’t remember a thread he’s started stating his own opinion in the OP

Here are some reminders:

@Bricker

From here: I see two interesting propositions. One is that if there is a liberal media, it was absent or clueless during the coverage of this subject.

Two is that liberal talk show hosts devoted nearly twice as much time to discussing the issue as their conservative counterparts, and their coverage was not uniformly positive. (I infer that the conservatives’ coverage was more or less uniformly negative).

I tend to agree with the conclusion, but I am not sure that’s what the Pew study says. Cillizza buttresses the claim with Post polling data.

@Bricker

And so, liberals to the rescue. At a cost of some $900,000, Philadelpha inner city corner stores are being incentivized to carry fresh fruits and vegetables. As the Washington Post explains:

@Bricker

Just what this country needs.

The DC Circuit recently pondered the case of Antoine Jones. Jones, who owned a night club in Washington DC, had a GPS device affixed secretly to his car by police. Over the course of a month, police were able to show that he ended up in the same places as his alleged conspirators.

Now, this kind of analysis makes sense if you’re talking about, say, classified information. But it’s not what the Fourth Amendment says.

Is it?

@Bricker

Paul Krugman’s conscience is shocked by the fact that Politifact, known for their ratings of various statements by politicians from True to Half True to False to Pants-on-Fire, has selected as their “Lie of the Year,” the Democrat’s claim that seniors would have to pay $12,500 more for health care “because Republicans voted to end Medicare.”

**My own opinion is that Krugman privately thought of Politifact as an ally, and is upset to see his ally attacking friendly forces. **But that’s pure speculation on my part. What’s undenaible is that Krugman, along with Talking Points Memo, Daily Kos, and The New Republic clearly believe Politifact’s analysis should never have been published. Whether they think this because they believe it to be flawed, or simply strategically unfriendly, is for another day. For now: Is Politifact correct to call the left’s collection of claims about Ryan’s plan a lie? A big lie?

@Bricker

So says the California Court of Appeals, as reported by FourthAmendment.com.

Bad ruling, in my view.

@Bricker

From this article:

**I am against this system, **and I rather suspect there will be at least some support for this scheme here.

@Bricker

Story here.

**I support this prosecution, **and I only would add that I don’t understand why Monsignor Murphy was not also indicted.

@Bricker

Which prompted one blogger to quip, “The White House is still “very much committed” to greenhouse gas reductions the way NBC was ‘Committed to Keeping Conan O’Brien’ on the network in January 2010. Too harsh? Just wait and see.”

Is this prediction anything more than a disappointed “green” fretting? **I don’t think so, **but I’m willing to be shown where I’m wrong.

@Bricker

Via YouTube, Steny Hoyer:

**In my view, of course, Congressman Hoyer’s remarks are … well… unremarkable. **His use of a metaphor is obvious. He’s not remotely suggesting anyone is using, or should use, actual firearms. He’s saying that House Republicans are risking the safety of the nation’s economy in an effort to injure the President’s political standing and electibility.
