  Shopkeepers need to set up on their rooftops with scoped .22s when the mob starts to break in. A perforated lung from a small caliber rimfire won't kill a rioting thug, but it will take him out of action quickly, plus seeing a fellow thug with frothy blood coming out his chest will take the wind out of rest of the mob's sails real fast.

  At present, the harshest critics are from within Progressive ranks. . .

  It is this sort of commentary that got Cenk Uygur shitcanned from MSNBC.

  Cenk Uygur On Leaving MSNBC: Network Told Me To 'Tone It Down,' Didn't Want To 'Challenge Power'

  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/21/cenk-uygur-msnbc-leaving_n_905415.html

  Al Sharpton has said he won't criticize Obama, ever. So they gave him Uygur's job.

  "has decided not to criticize the President on anything"

  MSNBC isn't independent journalism, it is Pravda under the Soviets.

  Things that are less likely in America (or at least the good parts):

  Forced to strip naked in the street: Shocking scenes as rioters steal clothes and rifle through bags as people make their way home At least less likely with me. I live in the Gunshine State, thank God.

  ....When it comes to piloting, Barack Obama seems to think he's the political equivalent of Charles Lindbergh, Chuck Yeager and—in a "Fly Me to the Moon" sort of way—Nat King Cole rolled into one. "I think I'm a better speech writer than my speech writers," he reportedly told an aide in 2008. "I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I'll tell you right now that I'm . . . a better political director than my political director."

  On another occasion—at the 2004 Democratic convention—Mr. Obama explained to a Chicago Tribune reporter that "I'm LeBron, baby. I can play at this level. I got game."

  Of course, it's tempting to be immodest when your admirers are so immodest about you. How many times have we heard it said that Mr. Obama is the smartest president ever? Even when he's criticized, his failures are usually chalked up to his supposed brilliance. Liberals say he's too cerebral for the Beltway rough-and-tumble; conservatives often seem to think his blunders, foreign and domestic, are all part of a cunning scheme to turn the U.S. into a combination of Finland, Cuba and Saudi Arabia.

  I don't buy it. I just think the president isn't very bright....

  Socrates taught that wisdom begins in the recognition of how little we know. Mr. Obama is perpetually intent on telling us how much he knows. Aristotle wrote that the type of intelligence most needed in politics is prudence, which in turn requires experience. Mr. Obama came to office with no experience. Plutarch warned that flattery "makes itself an obstacle and pestilence to great houses and great affairs." Today's White House, more so than any in memory, is stuffed with flatterers.

  ....Can anyone recall a memorable phrase from one of Mr. Obama's big speeches that didn't amount to cliché? As for the small speeches, such as the one we were kept waiting 50 minutes for yesterday, we get Triple-A bromides about America remaining a "Triple-A country." Which, when it comes to long-term sovereign debt, is precisely what we no longer are under Mr. Obama.

  Then there is Mr. Obama as political tactician. He makes predictions that prove false. He makes promises he cannot honor. He raises expectations he cannot meet. He reneges on commitments made in private. He surrenders positions staked in public. He is absent from issues in which he has a duty to be involved. He is overbearing when he ought to be absent. At the height of the financial panic of 1907, Teddy Roosevelt, who had done much to bring the panic about by inveighing against big business, at least had the good sense to stick to his bear hunt and let J.P. Morgan sort things out. Not so this president, who puts a new twist on an old put-down: Every time he opens his mouth, he subtracts from the sum total of financial capital.

  They're prosecuting the shit out of the assholes that rioted in Canada.

  I was in Vancouver 2 1/2 weeks ago. When I brought the subject up with local friends they were adamant that this was a small stupid minority and that this is not what the city is like.

  These are protestant missionaries, by the way. The Catholics don't send Friars over anymore.

  800 billion for shovel ready projects didn't do it

  Believe it or not, only 6% of the stimulus billions went to infrastructure construction.

  What!? Riots you say. The hell I say. For years smugly superior Britons and their acolytes on the American left have declaimed and lectured on our inferiority. Our lack of a proper social democracy. The abhorrent lack of an NHS, our armed citizenry, our death penalty....

  Why would anyone feel like rioting in such a socialist democratic paradise?
