Maybe some people shouldn't vote -- Ladies and gentleman, the world's stupidest issue -- Spend, spend away -- The decline of our universities -- "The Lizard King" quote of the day -- Tweet of Yesterday | 1.) Maybe some people shouldn't vote -- For instance, people who say they saw a debate that never happened. Comedian Jimmy Kimmel discovered a whole group of such geniuses when he sent a camera crew to the streets of Los Angeles hours before the second presidential debate to ask about the previous night's non-existent debate. Jennifer White reports for TheDC:
"'Who do you think won last night’s debate?' the Kimmel interviewer asked. 'I’m gonna go with Obama,' said one respondent. 'He was stronger this time around, in his choice of answering questions. The best part for me what — I think there was booing — wasn’t there booing on uh … was it Mitt Romney?'"
Watch the whole video and laugh --- and then cry for humanity. | 2.) Ladies and gentleman, the world's stupidest issue -- Democrats are trying to make an issue out of Mitt Romney's statement from Tuesday night's debate that he poured over a binder full of qualified women for jobs in his gubernatorial administration. TheDC's Alex Pappas reports:
"Call it the battle of the binders.The race for the White House has been reduced to who has the bigger 'binder' problem. It all began with Democrats mocking Republican nominee Mitt Romney for recalling in Tuesday night’s debate that he had 'whole binders full of women' to consider for jobs while he was governor of Massachusetts ... Democrats made it clear they planned to use Romney’s quote to accuse him of being weak on women’s issues. 'We’re Gonna Talk Binders at 12:15 PM EDT' Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse wrote in an email to reporters about a Wednesday conference call."
Here's another category of people who probably shouldn't vote: people who believe that there is really a "war on women." | 3.) Spend, spend away -- Welfare spending has reached astronomical heights, reports TheDC's Caroline May:
"The government spent approximately $1.03 trillion on 83 means-tested federal welfare programs in fiscal year 2011 alone --- a price tag that makes welfare that year the government's largest expenditure, according to new data released by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee ... The data excludes spending on Social Security, Medicare, means-tested health care for veterans without service-connected disabilities, and the means-tested veterans pension program ... The total federal spending on federal welfare programs vastly outpaced fiscal year 2011 spending on such federal expenditures as non-war defense ($540 billion), Social Security ($725 billion), Medicare ($480 billion), and departments such as Justice ($30.5 billion), Transportation ($77.3 billion) and Education ($65.486 billion) --- a fact that horrified the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, who requested the report from CRS." | 4.) The decline of our universities -- Bruce Bawer explains to TheDC's Jamie Weinstein why academia has become politicized nonsense:
"Modern academia has gone astray and identity studies programs are in large part the culprit, argues author and poet Bruce Bawer in his new book 'The Victims' Revolution: The Rise of Identity Studies and the Closing of the Liberal Mind.' 'Identity studies sum up everything that's wrong with the humanities today,' Bawer told The Daily Caller. 'They're about nothing other than group identity, group oppression, and group grievance. Instead of engaging in objective scholarly study of, say, black American history or women's literature, these departments are boosters for everything having to do with the group in question. It's all slogans. Kids don't learn anything other than to think of themselves as having been wronged by capitalism, by the West, by America, by white men.'" | 5.) "The Lizard King" quote of the day --From "The Lizard King: The Shocking Inside Account of Obama’s True Intergalactic Ambitions By An Anonymous White House Staffer," edited and introduced by Daily Caller writers Jamie Weinstein and Will Rahn:
"'The president has done nothing illegal. There is nothing in the Constitution that says a lizard man can’t be president. Nothing,' Axelrod responded. 'No, I’m pretty f'ing sure that the Constitution specifies you have to be a f'ing human to be president,' Rahm exclaimed. 'You’re wrong, you’re wrong,' Axelrod said, shaking his head and taking another shot."
"The Lizard King" is unquestionably the funniest book of the year --- and your TheDC Morning facilitator isn't just saying that because he co-wrote it. BUY ... IT ... NOW! | | 6.) Tweet of Yesterday -- Ryan Lizza: Long Island last night, Boca next week. We should call these the Seinfeld debates. | | VIDEO: If this guy has any relatives in the U.S., they shouldn't be voting either | | |
