  • We’ve gotten use to Democratic office holders in Texas switching to the Republican Party, but I don’t think we’ve ever seen all the Democratic officeholders in a county<\/a> switch at the same time, which is what just happened in Throckmorton County, including the sheriff, county judge, clerk, treasurer, justice of the peace and three commissioners.\n
  • Texas Democrats give up on Texas Democrats<\/a>. “Of the $21 million Texas Democrats have given to candidates running for federal office, Super PACs and party political committees in the 2012 election, only $4.8 million has gone to candidates from Texas.”\n

  • Could Wisconsin be the first domino to fall<\/a>?\n
  • Speaking of Texas Democrats, a look at the fake Texans for Individual Rights<\/a>, run Mark McCaig, the same person who runs the fake Conservative Voters of Texas<\/a> and the legal associate of personal injury trial lawyer (and top Democratic Party donor<\/a>) Steve Mostyn.

  • In Argentina, as with everywhere else, nationalization sucks<\/a>.\n

  • Charles Murray gets a letter from a Fishtown school teacher<\/a>.\n
  • Is Columbia getting ready to legalize drugs<\/a>?\n
  • Germany considers banning Salfists<\/a>. (Hat tip: Michael Totten sitting in for Instapundit.)\n
  • Old and busted: Objective-C. The new hotness:Objectivist-C,<\/a> the programming language of rational self-interest.\n<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
