I’m a member of the California Nurses’ Association. Which is to say, a Brown supporter.
I’m a member of the National Nurses Organizing Committee, too.
And I like to hit people. But it’s OK: I only like to hit Meg Whitman supporters. You see, she’s a woman and a Republican, so she and they aren’t really human beings to me.

So everybody stay cool.
Democrats, administration apologists hardest hit.
(H/T: Hot Air Headlines) If you are surprised at this… [deep breath] well. You should not be.
When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”
[snip]
Administration officials say the tax argument is a linchpin of their legal case in defense of the health care overhaul and its individual mandate, now being challenged in court by more than 20 states and several private organizations.
Glenn Reynolds doesn’t want to hear another word about his carbon footprint*:
Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U.S. Sen Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.; and the president’s personal aide Reggie Love, who chatted with Baldacci.
I would like to recommend to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel that he call in his entire staff, sit them down, make them watch Barbarians at the Gate
“I don’t believe, the president doesn’t believe that the Tea Party is — is a racist organization. I don’t believe that,” Biden said. “Very conservative. Very different views on government and a whole lot of things. But it is not a racist organization.”
(Via Outside the Beltway; H/t: Instapundit) If this seems surprising, it shouldn’t be. The NAACP has a goal; minimizing the Democratic Party’s losses in 201[0*] (via the use of a smear campaign). Vice President Biden also has a goal; re-electing the President (and, incidentally, himself) in 2012. The two goals are incompatible. A Democratic majority in Congress means that the President will either have to assert control over determining the nature of the bills that get submitted for his signature, or else have to sign more popularity-killing monstrosities like the stimulus or Obamacare. The first is beyond both the President’s official powers and personal skill set, and the second will get him defeated handily in two years.

…about Tucker Carlson, from time to time, in the past.
Please be advised I repudiate any and all such statements that might have been made, apologize for any hurt feelings that might have resulted from them, and will be happy to discuss the matter further with Mr. Carlson if he should feel that the previous two statements were insufficiently contrite.
Aside from it haunting the dreams of that guy who has Pachelbel’s Canon chasing him, well, 1980s innocuous.
Damn, that’s really a blatant rip-off.
Quick background: Cedra Crenshaw (website here) is a conservative Tea Party activist – and, not incidentally, one that NAACP President Ben Jealous would happily call a ‘race traitor,’ if it weren’t for the minor fact that not even the media would ignore that kind of hypocrisy – who is trying to stay on the ballot for Illinois state senator. Emphasis on ‘trying:’ she’s fighting having her candidacy tossed for reasons that Eric Holder would be firing up a civil-rights investigation… if it weren’t for that fact that Holder undoubtedly considers her a race traitor, too.
Hey. It’s not my fault that the Democratic party refuses to do anything about its racist elements. Besides give them powers of trust and authority, that is.
Moving along, the Tea Parties aren’t precisely willing to accept the Democratic Party’s race-based shenanigans, and they’re more than happy to speak truth to power, afflict the comfortable, and engage in all those other behaviors that have been sanctified by a half-century of Lefty usage:

It’s not that I particularly object to the way that Hollywood keeps mining The World of Darkness
Will Smith has attached himself to star in and produce The Legend Of Cain, an epic re-telling of the Biblical sibling tale, this time with a vampiric twist.
…but maybe they could consider, you know, paying royalties and stuff?

There isn’t much else to say, except this: I normally have a rule of “If it touches a human, it dies. And everything that looks like it dies, too, in a mile radius.” Given that the crocodile was minding his own business in a designated zoo environment, the human blatantly provoked the incident*, and the crocodile let the human go… I favor clemency, just this once.
I am not an unreasonable apex predator, after all. The crocodile clearly understands the rules, and it wasn’t the one that broke them…
