— Ace Right in the headline.
Mike Pence, a Koch Favorite, Mulls 2016 Run for President
Here are some things that this "reporter," Jonathan Allen, deemed not worthy of a headline mention:
* That Pence is actually the current governor of Indiana. That seems sort of important.
* That he's a Republican. Bear in mind, the next election is an open-seat one, no incumbent. There will be challengers on both sides (well, one assumes Hillary will have challengers). So it's sort of important to note which nomination he's considering pursuing.
* That he's a former Congressman.
These are the various basis bits of biographical data which would usually occur to a reporter to include in a headline about a subject. Bear in mind, Mike Pence is not a household name; a headline would usually inform the reader about who the heck he is.
Well, Allen knows who he is, and he wants you to know: He's a "Koch favorite."
If youÂ’re wondering why this otherwise prosaic Bloomberg piece about PenceÂ’s national future begins with a mention of the Koch brothers, itÂ’s probably because the guy who wrote it worked for Paul Sarbanes and, briefly, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz before resuming his career as an impartial reporter.
During the early-going of the 2012 cycle, I myself pushed a Pence run, reasoning that he would be a party-uniting figure.
He still could be. And he's worked in both the federal system, as a Congressman, and currently holds the position of Chief Executive of a state. That's a solid resume.
And speaking of Jonathan Allen, The Federalist has an interesting piece about the tactics used in coercive kidnap-and-brainwashing operations, as in the case of Patty Hearst.
And, interestingly, the similar tactics employed in political agitation.
Below, the Asch conformity experiment, name-checked in the article.
This is why many of us believe the Democrat Party is not the real enemy; the Democrat Party is just the Customer Service Division of Worldwide Socialism, Inc.
The real enemies are institutions that push a socialist lie on the public, 24/7.
Oh, and this is fun: ABCNews tried to get two of its reporters added to a Pulitzer Prize award -- one of them being Brian "I hear he may have Tea Party connections" Ross.
Apparently these reporters did little but take someone's previous print reporting, repackage it for TV, and broadcast it. But they want credit.
This letter refusing ABCNews' request is just delightfully bitchy.
And, Open Thread.

Liberals get awfully worked up when, for example, retired Pentagon generals go to work for defense contractors. This is called "the revolving door". And is vocally denounced. In some ways with good reason.
When liberals move smoothly back and forth between the media and the Democratic Party, though, that's somehow not a "revolving door" any longer.
Of course, when you reflect that these are simply two halves of a seamless whole, everything becomes simpler. There's no door being transited in either direction. It's all part of what Andrew Breitbart summarized as "The Complex".

"two examples of ex-Politico reporters who went on to work in Republican politics: Richard Cullen left Politico to work for Rep. Eric Cantor. Reporter Jeff Patch left the publication to work for Iowa Rep. Tom Latham."
So essentially they're ultimately working for the Democrats too.

Revolving door.
And as an aside, electricity prices are necessarily skyrocketing --
(CNSNews.com) - The average price for a kilowatthour (KWH) of electricity hit a March record of 13.5 cents, according data released yesterday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That was up about 5.5 percent from 12.8 cents per KWH in March 2013.
And so it goes.

I was thinking about that on the earlier Dana Milbank thread. They keep throwing the racist card and demonizing anyone not dedicated to their groupthink. One of these days there is going to be an explosion of violence, a lot of people are going to get hurt and killed, and they are going to sit there and say "What just happened?", not believing that they were the very ones that instigated that violence.

No, what the Breitbart article actually says is that Pelosi is "targeting" 30 specific Republicans to try and pressure them into cooperating. That's not exactly the same thing as "GOP colluding with Pelosi".

Wait, what?
"One of these days there is going to be an explosion of violence"?
There certainly already is an explosion of racially motivated violence. It's just that you're not hearing much about it. Because it's not the sort of racially motivated violence that the left find useful to publicize.
A quick Web search for "white girl bleed a lot" will prove highly instructive.

No, but there are certain issues which surely do.
The GOP used to regularly run on pocketbook issues, personal safety issues and national security issues, and win with those. Winning swing voters where needed. Because those things do matter to indie/swing voters.
Then George W. Bush managed to blow up national security as a winning GOP lever with two ineptly handled and failed overseas wars. He compounded this by losing pocketbook issues as a GOP strength, with an epochal economic meltdown on his watch.
Great going there by Dubya. Sometimes feels as though he had been a Democratic mole, when you couple in things like the Dread Justice Roberts.
The party can still get traction on personal safety issues. Witness the steady trend of state level victories on concealed carry. But that's not enough to carry a national level agenda. The lost credibility on pocketbook issues and foreign policy must be reclaimed.
To say the least, another Bush is the last thing the GOP needs. Yet that's just what the party elders are pushing. Facepalm.

Which is a sad commentary, when you think of it.
Gingrich years: started off powerfully and productively. Then went totally off the rails. As Gingrich and Livingston the adulterers tried to impeach Clinton over adultery. (Yes, yes, I know. Perjury. But the voters saw it as over adultery. And parsed that as hypocritical.)
Note also the GOP congressional losses in 1998. When Newt refused to release threatened members to go home to campaign, and a number of the House vulnerables lost their seats.
DeLay years: domestic non-security spending up by one-third in real terms. 'Nuff said.

Here's the problem with that "shield".
It's a promising prototype. It doesn't work with adequate reliability yet.
More time and more money, a lot of both, are needed.
Bush couldn't be bothered to fund missile defense adequately with his two wars sucking up all of the money. Obama then cut back the program even further.
Deployment without mature designs is stupid. If we're serious about this stuff we have to do the actual tough real-world bloody-knuckles engineering. Including lots of costly, often inconclusive flight tests of hardware. If not, the thing is a pig in a poke.

The only thing I disagree with him on (that I know of) was when IN had a surplus, he put it in "education" and didn't give it back to the tax-payers. Walker handled WI's surplus much better, imo. Especially annoying was where Pence put the $$... "education"?! Gah, good money after bad; such a waste to give it to public "schools".
