Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s testimony yesterday vividly demonstrated that competence is as critical as ideology when it comes to the highest ranks of national security officials.
Former deputy national security adviser Elliott Abrams writes, "Having worked as an assistant secretary of state and a deputy national-security adviser, I can report that even in those posts one is entirely swamped by cable traffic and needs a system to cope with it — to be sure that the really important ones get through. From all the available evidence, Hillary Clinton failed to establish such a system for herself, and that management failure is a far more important fact about her tenure than being the third woman to hold the post or having flown more miles than Condoleezza Rice."

Akin Can Win, Despite Establishment GOP By CHQ Staff | 10/10/12
We came out strongly for Todd Akin in the Missouri senate race because he is a good and decent man who has long walked with us on the conservative agenda, especially the right-to-life.
Other conservative commentators, most recently RedState’s Erick Erickson, have joined-in to support Akin – you can read Erick’s perceptive post here.
But you can't read it here, because to hell with Erick son of Erick.
In other "Right to Life" news, here is "pro-life" teabagger Scott Eugene DesJarlais (GOP-Tennessee):
“You told me you’d have an abortion, and now we’re getting too far along without one,” DesJarlais tells the woman at one point in the call while negotiating with her over whether he’ll reveal her identity to his wife. They then discuss whether he will accompany her to a procedure to end the sort of life the congressman now describes as “sacred.”
“You told me you would have time to go with me and everything,” the woman complains.
“I said, if I could, I would, didn’t I? And I will try,” DesJarlais says. “If I can [find] time, you’re saying you still will?”Furthermore:
“Desperate personal attacks do not solve our nation’s problems, yet it appears my opponents are choosing to once again engage in the same gutter politics that CBS news called the dirtiest in the nation just 2 years ago.”

What advice will Erick son of Erick and Richard Viguerie have for Poor Victim Scott? A lonely nation awaits with bated breath.

Folk (or volk) wisdom: Democracies are doomed to failure once the masses realize they can vote themselves all the free gummint cheese they can stuff down their gaping maws.
It was the greatest education system the world had ever seen. They built it into the eucalyptus-dotted Berkeley hills and under the bright lights of Los Angeles, down in the valley in Fresno and in the shadows of the San Bernardino Mountains. Hundreds of college campuses, large and small, two-year and four-year, stretching from California's emerald forests in the north to the heat-scorched Inland Empire in the south. Each had its own DNA, but common to all was this: they promised a “public” education, accessible and affordable, to those with means and those without, a door with a welcome mat into the ivory tower, an invitation to a better life.
Then California bled that system dry. Over three decades, voters starved their state -- and so their colleges and universities -- of cash. Politicians siphoned away what money remained and spent it more on imprisoning people, not educating them. College administrators grappled with shriveling state support by jacking up tuitions, tacking on new fees, and so asking more each year from increasingly pinched students and families. Today, many of those students stagger under a heap of debt as they linger on waiting lists to get into the over-subscribed classes they need to graduate.
"Our democracy" will be destroyed by people cutting their taxes so they'll have a few bucks w/ which to Botox their faces. Smooth move, cheapskates!
