A look at our future on the current road to a permanent dependency state where there is little marginal incentive to work, and those who produce and provide jobs are demonized and ridiculed to the point of no return.

From Max Hastings of The Daily Mail Online, regarding the rioters in Britain:

As thugs have been burning, beating, and stealing their way through London, citizens of that disarmed society had little to defend themselves with as the police were completely overwhelmed.

I have the utmost respect for police officers and the work they do, but they cannot be everywhere at once, especially in the...

First it was Bibi Netanyahu stating that Israel will not go back to the 1967 borders.

Now it is the Queen of England refusing to click glasses.

Maybe she was upset that he had to read his toast from index cards, or maybe it was protocol.

I don’t care.  He is my President, and I...

I was waiting for this ruling, because I could not stand living in a world where it was illegal to wear baggy pants so low that your ass showed.

From Britain, our window into the future where underpants get to see the light of day (emphasis mine):

Not who you think, although there could be more than one.

”I believe Gordon Brown has been the worst prime minister we have had in this country.

”It is a disgrace and he owes an apology to the people and the Queen.”

Gordon Brown is a man of the people. When the people are around.

When alone with aides, he dismissed as bigoted a woman who expressed concerns about how immigration from Eastern Europe would affect the economy. But moments earlier, in public, he praised the woman.

As reported in The Telegraph:

Seems like someone is learning from the Obama campaign, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Sheldon Whitehouse and other American Democrats.

From last night’s debate among candidates in Britain (emphasis mine):

The election is shaping up as traditional nanny-state government (Labour) against less big government (Tories), echoing recent U.S. elections.

While all politics...
