‘Thieves’: Russia savages EU after Cyprus gets £8.5billion bailout deal which could see richest investors losing 40% of savings. Other people’s money. I imagine the idiots in the Obama administration are figuring out how to pull this one off and bend us all forward over the bank counter any day now.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg: Government has right to “infringe on your freedom”. “Sometimes government does know best. And in those cases, Americans should just cede their rights.” You’ll be a private citizen again in a few months, Nanny. Wonder if you’ll feel the same way about it when a government decides something you don’t like. Will you just “cede” your rights? We doubt it.

How stupid is Bill Maher? This stupid: in a discussion about gun control legislation in the Senate, he tried to blame its failure on the notion that “we are such a gerrymandered country.” When the Republican pointed out that you can’t gerrymander a seat in the Senate, Maher had nothing to offer but a dumb look.

Assad Confirmed Dead, Iran Attempts To Control Syria Army. Now they’ll get a new boss who’ll be the same as the old boss, perhaps worse.

Renault Reveal Electric Car Zoe Can Only Achieve A Range Of 60 Miles In Cold Weather And 90 Miles In Warmer Climates. It’s supposed to go 130 miles. Renault had Le Car in the 70’s. Perhaps they should rename this one Le Oops.

Amusing ourselves to death: Huxley vs Orwell. Huxley’s “Brave New World” vs. Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty Four”: which dystopian society are we becoming? Looks like we have a winner.

Hitler Joins Gun Debate, but History Is in Dispute. According to the article: Advocates who cite Hitler in the current U.S. debate overlook that Jews in 1930s Germany were a very small population, owned few guns before the Nazis took control, and lived under a dictatorship commanding overwhelming public support and military might, historians say. While it doesn’t fit neatly into the modern-day gun debate, they say, the truth is that for all Hitler’s unquestionably evil acts, his firearms laws likely made no difference in Jews’ very tenuous odds of survival. During the holocaust Nazis slaughtered over six million Jews throughout Europe. And yet we are to believe that it would have made no difference if even a small portion of those victims had taken a National Socialist or two with them.

Calif. city Stockton heading to bankruptcy court. This is what happens when you spend other people’s money and those other people leave. You then have no one left except the takers. Take note Jerry Brown.

BREAKING: Assad Shot By Bodyguard – Hospitalized in Damascus. Is he dead or isn’t he?

Harvard stripped of quiz tournament titles for cheating. Harvard competitor Andy Watkins hacked his way into, and accessed, the quiz questions before the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Intercollegiate Championship Tournaments… but insists he wasn’t trying to cheat. Sound like any other Harvard graduate you know?

26 Republicans Vote for Internet Sales Tax. Here’s your Republican douchebag list for the day.

US unblocks $500M for Palestinians: This is certainly bad news for those Jews somewhat indisposed to the prospect of further slaughter from the Arab interlopers.

7 Liberal Hypocrites Who Call For Gun Control While Being Protected By Guns: Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to hide and die . . . while the rich “one-percenters” use the money we gave them to buy the very same guns they demand we forfeit.

Bloomberg: “Security” drones over NYC are scary but inevitable. Idiot busybody politicians are more scary and the latter is what gives us the former. Please Santa, all we want for Christmas is to stop giving power to people like him.

Earth Hour is a colossal waste of time—and energy. Hey, did you guys turn off your lights between 8:30 and 9:30 on March 23 to observe “Earth Hour”? No? Good, because “Earth Hour teaches all the wrong lessons, and it actually increases CO2 emissions. Its vain symbolism reveals exactly what is wrong with today’s feel-good environmentalism.” So, thanks for not participating!

Dark Knight killer James Holmes ‘is now a Muslim who prays five times a day.’ The only mass murderer in history who’s gone from being the Joker to being a goat poker.

Britons watching TV in the toilet. Well, the TV is not in the toilet, they’re watching TV on their smartphones (whoever said “fartphones”, report to detention) while sitting on the toilet. Why are they called “smartphones” when they’re used for such dumb things?

Subplots in the Cypriot financial dramedy. A large amount of the money in Cyprus’ banking system is Russian and a large amount of that is believed to be stolen or laundered. The Cypriot banks are now insolvent due to a reckless investment in Greek bonds. The EU, led by Germany, thinks the Russian oligarchs ought to bear responsibility for bailing out the banks but the Russian government has other ideas. And the wildcard in this poker game is Syria.

Tentative NY state budget includes “Jimmy Fallon” tax credit to lure “The Tonight Show” back to NYC. Tax breaks for rich corporations, brought to you by your friendly neighborhood class-war waging Democrats, whose motto is “Take from whomever we don’t like and give to whomever we do like” (only when they say it it’s “take from the rich and give to the poor.) Nuance.

Stanford Kills Popular Course on Free Market. Stanford gladly accepts large donations from the very same free market alumni millionaires and billionaires they won’t teach about. All those free market millionaires and billionaires who contribute to Stanford should immediately pull the plug on all donations. Stanford should consider changing their logo to the hammer and sickle.

Hamas’ Twitter Account Calls Obama “Jewish Organ Grinder’s Monkey.” OMG! So where’s Chris Matthews screaming this is racism? Huh? Never mind, Chris only screams racism when a white Republican says something off color.

REPORT: SYRIAN NATIONAL WITH SUSPECTED TIES TO 9/11 LIVING FREELY IN NJ, ‘VIRTUALLY IMMUNE FROM DEPORTATION.’ Amazing travesty of justice? Or was this deliberately orchestrated by the feds? Perhaps one of those liberal east coast cat box liners newspapers will publish a map with his address highlighted.

Local law enforcement face ammo shortage as gun owners, DHS stock up. More unanticipated results thanks to the liberal inability to think past step one. When liberals have ideas there will be unintended consequences.

More people have cellphones than toilets. According to the United Nations, 6 billion of the world’s 7 billion people have access to a cellphone, but only 4.5 billion have access to a toilet. Maybe the U.S. government should stop handing out Obama phones and start handing out Obama toilets. The symbolism would be more appropriate anyway.

Another left wing talk station goes dark. KJFK (check out those call letters) in Reno, Nevada, will cease broadcasting after 8 years of progressive talk radio. Yes, yes, that’s the radio station where J.P.’s Moment of Common Sense was getting aired for the last two months, and where I was co-hosting Broad View on Saturday evenings… but it wasn’t me that brought the station down, swear to God!
