Kathleen Sebelius: You know, the American people are a pretty stupid bunch.
Still, Sebelius didn’t dispute the point that many Americans don’t fully understand how health insurance and the Affordable Care Act work, including the trade-offs involved in expanding coverage.
Via The Daily Caller, Planned Parenthood is seriously irony-impaired:
Planned Parenthood joined the #BlackLivesMatter Twitter protest Monday afternoon, tweeting, “We are joining #Ferguson organizers and protesters in DC today — standing in solidarity with you! #HandsUpWalkOut #BlackLivesMatter”
President Obama has unfortunately decided to add to the racial demagoguery in the wake of Ferguson rather than trying to stop it. But he has half a good idea here:
President Obama on Monday will announce $263 million in funding for law enforcement agencies to purchase body-worn cameras and improve training.
If it's true, goodbye and good riddance:
Liberalism, to paraphrase the late Preston Sturges (he was referring to chivalry), is “not only dead, it’s decomposed.”
Liberalism n’existe pas — and almost everybody knows it. It is completely out of ideas. Obama was the last gasp of a dying ideology. All they have left is some pathetic and teetering identity politics.
Typical progressive, politically correct mixture of smugness and ignorance:
President Obama quite succinctly summed up the absurdity of the Republicans' issues with his immigration reform in Chicago yesterday, arguing that perhaps the only people who can legitimately be pissed off about illegal immigrants are Native Americans.

Suck it up, voter ID opponents:
Voter ID laws do not swing many elections, because people without identification do not represent a large share of registered voters; they are particularly unlikely to vote; and a share of them will vote Republican.
Happy Thanksgiving. Haven't you just been dying to know whether your name is more Republican or more Democratic?
Sorry, Hillary, being a woman is not enough:
Her prospective candidacy offers the possibility of the first female president in history, but for all the power behind that aspiration, it is not a message.
That's Washington Post columnist Dan Balz, not a nutjob rightwing Fox News contributor.
I don't want to get into a whole tu quoque foofaraw over immigration -- you know: Obama is defying the Constitution by going around Congress. Well, so did Reagan. But Obama is being hypocritica about itl. Well, Bush, too. Blah, blah, blah.
Could this really happen -- the end of the Postal Service as we know it?
If Congress does not pass legislation that would save the Postal Service from financial collapse before the end of its current session, the future of the country’s mail service will be in the hands of a senator who opposes government unions and thinks the Postal Service should be privatized.
