FRC shooter: I targeted them because SPLC list said they were “anti-gay”. The Southern Poverty Law Center made me do it.

Lawmakers, aides may get Obamacare exemption. “Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks about exempting lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides from the insurance exchanges they are mandated to join as part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, sources in both parties said.” Repeal for me but not for thee. Rats jumping off the ship they sank.

Slain bomber boasted during carjack that pair was headed to Big Apple. “We just killed a cop. We blew up the marathon,” Tsarnaev snarled as he and Dzhokhar, 19, pointed guns at the terrified carjack victim… “And now, we’re going to New York! Don’t f–k with us!” Well, the NRA made ’em say that.

Updated homeless ‘bill of rights’ passes CA legislative committee. “A widely derided provision establishing ‘the right to engage in life sustaining activities’ including ‘urinating’ was deleted.” Ah, damn – we had a joke ready to go about changing the name “California” to “Urine Nation” (or “Urination” for short.) Maybe next time.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev got Mass. welfare benefits. This country is so mean.

Chris Matthews on bombers: “What difference does it make why they did it?” Since Tingles can’t find a way to pin this on the people he wishes to demonize, he’s resorted to doing Hillary Clinton impressions. [Video at the link.]

Newest Boston bombing narrative: “Society” is to blame. Actually, the media is likely to blame – what do these jackasses seek above all else? Publicity.

New research suggests acetaminophen (Tylenol) may help individuals overcome non-specific fear and anxiety. “…brought about by thinking about death or the human condition.” Just what we need in an age of healthcare trainwrecks, nitwit pols passing bills they don’t read and brainless apparatchiks demanding the death penalty for anyone committing the terrible crime of not agreeing with them.

Rangel sues House to overturn slap on the wrist. “In December 2010, the House voted 333-79 to censure Rangel for multiple ethical misdeeds — including failing to pay taxes for 17 years on rental income from his villa in the Dominican Republic and soliciting donations from companies with business before the Ways and Means Committee while he was chairman.” Yeah, it’s so unfair to pretend to hold you to the same rules as the little people in your fiefdom, your lordship.

Report: Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) won’t seek re-election next year. The guy who recently warned of an ObamaCare trainwreck… Why are politicians honest only when they’re headed out the door?

Bloomberg says interpretation of Constitution will “have to change” after Boston bombing. Ummm, who died and made you king, bub?

Hunt for the elusive Tea Party murderer continues. “Sooner or later, one of these maniacs will turn out to be someone who doesn’t like ObamaCare! There’s no practical reason for liberals to stop running this game; they pay no real price for getting it wrong.” Stopped clocks are right twice a day – stopped brains, not so much.

Who really isn’t paying their fair share of income taxes? “Theoretically, all the area under the blue total aggregate income curve is subject to federal income taxes. In practice, deductions and tax credits exempt large portions of low-to-middle income earners from the burden of paying federal income taxes.” We’re shocked, shocked to discover politicians indulging in demagougery on this issue.

Chicago police have arrested same woman 396 times. “…a master at working the system.” Well, that’s basically what the politicians in town do.

#FreeJahar hashtag hits Twitter as people sympathize with Boston terror suspect. “#FreeJahar is trending.. i’ve been doing research literally all day and i do think there’s a big chance he’s innocent.” Yep, the police and FBI scouring evidence until their eyes bled wasted their time – they shoulda just checked with this tweeter, she’s been like doing research all day. Literally.

The Hill: Home-grown terrorist attack threatens to disrupt Obama’s second-term agenda. Yep, it’s all about Barack, ain’t it? But now that they mention it, we hope this has not disrupted his second-term agenda, we hope this sticks a fork in it.

Immigration officers’ union head ejected from press conference on Immigration bill for trying to ask a question. “’Will you take a question from law enforcement?’ [ICE officers’ union chief] Crane asked, repeating the question twice before being removed. Schumer ignored the question, and repeated his advocacy for the bill.” They’re acting like they wrote another “don’t read it, just vote for it” ObamaCare-like POS bill, and that is reason enough to oppose it.

NY Times complains because Fox reported on the Texas factory explosion instead of gun control failure. “While most of ‘[Morning] Joe’ was dedicated to guns on Thursday, Fox’s morning show, ‘Fox & Friends,’ didn’t mention the word once. It focused instead on news about a Texas fertilizer plant explosion.” MSM wetting its diapers because one of its pet unicorns disappeared.

Gun-control official on Senate failure: “Bribery isn’t what it once was”. “The government has no money. Once upon a time you would throw somebody a post office or a research facility in times like this. Frankly, there’s not a lot of leverage.” ObamaCare passed in large part due to kickbacks. If a broke gubbermint means fewer pieces of destructive legislation, that’s a positive result.

Alleged ricin terrorist is a Democrat. That’ll just make it all the harder for the media to sell this as some conservative’s fault. Hey, Rush Limbaugh hasn’t been blamed for anything lately!

Boston suspect’s web page venerates Islam, Chechen independence. “Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev posted links to Islamic websites and others calling for Chechen independence on what appears to be his page on a Russian language social networking site.” Don’t worry journ0lists, someone will “discover” that they belong to the Russian Tea Party or something.

Pompeo to Baucus: If ObamaCare is a “train wreck,” you’ve got nobody to blame but yourself. “When your supermajority couldn’t pass the bill using normal procedures, you and your Senate colleagues rammed through the final legislation by using parliamentary gimmickry. Then, in the House, Speaker Pelosi cheerfully urged members to pass the legislation ‘in order to find out what’s in it.'” You could sum this up in two words, but it sounds so much more elegant his way.

Harvard economist Reinhart: Central banks doing pols’ dirty work on debt “…Reinhart argues governments are incapable of reducing their debts and that central banks are now stepping up to resolve the crisis themselves. …everyday savers will pay the price.” Quantitative easing is stealth taxation, inflating away the debts so the pols can duck the issue. Weaseling from behind.

FBI shows video, images of Boston Marathon bombing suspects. Let’s hope that they’ve identified the right people this time. [Video at the link.]

John Kerry: “We have a lot more important things to move on to” than Benghazi. Like his pet “climate kaos” obsession. What do you think journ0lists would’ve done if Kerry had held a hearing about climate change and someone asked “What difference does it make, senator”? Just askin’.
