That´s the title to a post by Steve Kraske at the KC Star´s Midwest Democracy blog. The reference is to Kansas Senator Jerry Moran(R), a founding member of the Senate Tea Party caucus dedicated to cutting government spending and reducing the federal debt. The obvious implication is Sen. Moran(R) is a hypocritical big spender, not a fiscal conservative.
Kraske´s headline was distilled from a more in depth USA Today article syndicated across the country by its corporate parent, Gannet, Inc. The USA Today headline was even more unflattering than the Star´s, yet that doesn´t surprise me, as these narratives against

By certain measures, “overall secrecy has actually increased rather than declined,” said Steven Aftergood, who runs the Federation of American Scientists’ Project on Government Secrecy. “Criminalization of unauthorized disclosures of information to the press has risen sharply, becoming a preferred tactic. Efforts to promote public accountability in controversial aspects of counterterrorism policy such as targeted killing have been blocked by threadbare, hardly credible national security secrecy claims.”
A Washington Post report from this past summer concluded that “by some measures the government is keeping more secrets than before.”

David Gregory seems to have a limitless capacity for being a jerk. He recently mocked Wayne LaPierre for his suggestion that armed cops be placed in schools.
Yet when it comes to his own kids, well, the school they attend has armed guards.
Then the guy who calls for more and stricter gun laws decided he was above the gun laws:
"David Gregory is being investigated by police over the gun magazine that he showed on Sunday’s “Meet the Press.”"

And I sit here and wonder whether they remember it at all themselves. I hope they do.
Sippican Cottagge brings us the following video in a post they so aptly titled "When You´re A Dad, Every Day Is The Best Day Ever, Until Tomorrow". It took me back to a time when both my boys were very young, a time when my wife worked second shift, a time when I spent evenings doing things like what you´re about to see, times I treasure now, times that give birth to an emotion of longing and reminiscing that are incredibly strong, even overwhelming...

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to work harder to persuade ideological friends and foes alike that the way to reduce partisanship and maximize happiness in America is to embrace federalism — the view that we should push as many decisions as possible to the lowest local level feasible.

There is an irrefutable truism that, whether directly attributable to Orwell or not, is still…a trusim: “Men sleep peacefully in their beds because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” It doesn’t matter who said it. It’s true. Those doubting that are living in their own cozy world of make believe. Meet William L. Gensert and the very recognizable challenges of being a Conservative in LiberalLand.
