Clearing the Browser Tabs – Don’t Fire Hoses Work Anymore Edition

The officers of the Oakland Police Department are confused tonight, and for good reason. Their Mayor is a miserable failure who has given them and the citizens of the city horribly mixed messages about whether she will do her job or capitulate to the demands of the violent mob that calls itself Occupy Oakland. She is not the only political leader who has taken a deliberate decision to play silly political games rather than attend to the satefy and welfare of those who elected them to office. In city after city, the Occupy Whatever movement has become a place where women are raped, working people prevented from earning a living, and assaults and thefts are epidemic.

The bridge has collapsed. It’s about time our politicians did their jobs and took our cities back from the barbarians.

And now, links!

• As of this year, the state of California is paying pensions of more than $100,000 a year to over 12,000 employees. The state added 3,000 to that number in just this past year, including 3 pensions of over $200,000 a year. That strikes me as more than just a tiny bit insane.
• If you were wondering what, exactly, cause the housing crisis, you might want to look toward a bogus study and the government policies that came from it. Those policies, by the way, are still in place.
• I wonder how many cable network executives will be in the unemployment line once the powers that be learn that their shows are getting pounded in the ratings by a 3 A.M. comedy show on Fox News.
• The MSM doesn’t care that Herman Cain is black; they care that he is a Republican. In fact, to most progressives, Herman Cain can not be black because he is a Republican. Speaking of Cain, my friend Matthew at Old Line Elephant has about had it with Herman Cain’s campaign. I’m not very far behind him and I’ll likely have more to say about that later in the week.
• It’s a shame our First Lady doesn’t believe America is a land of opportunity. It sure has given her a lot without asking for much effort from her at all.
• I read part of this Jonathan Alter column on The Delivery last night, but I’m still amazed that it’s not satire. Seriously, I’m not sure how you get back the title without bursting into laughter.
• Income inequality? Still not seeing it.
