Overheard On The 'Net - 5

I know I did one yesterday but I just couldn't pass this up.

At Reason.

Security is the only legitimate government expenditure. I'd be fine with being isolationist if the world wasn't full of communists, islamists, and the French. Given that it is, there are lots of people who need killing or at least a credible threat.
Yes there are.

Overheard On The 'Net - 4

At Hot Air.

How have we come to the point where far too many see law school as a qualifying factor?

It has always amazed me that so many people think of lawyers as “smart.”

I worked for many years with engineers — brillant people who sometimes don’t speak with perfect eloquence. But now I spend more time with lawyers — who are all able to communicate beautifully, but usually can’t think their way out of a wet paper bag.

As politicians often say (in private):“There are only two things that matter in the world: perception and reality. And reality doesn’t matter.”

I really like that. Don't get me wrong. Lawyers are some of my best friends. But on this one I'm siding with the engineers.

Overheard On The 'Net - 2

In the comments at Anthony Weiner Flips Out On House Floor I found some amusement:

The Democrats. Throughout American history the party of Slavery, Secession, Segregation and now Socialism.
And.
...from the Plantation to the Collective, Copperhead Democrats have always been slavery's best friends.
You might also find the video at the linked site amusing. Or you might prefer to listen to music.

Left wing collectivism is state socialism (the light hand) or the collective (the heavy hand).

The right wing collective is monarchy or theocracy.
