What are the odds Vladamir Lenin said something similar during the Bolshevik Revolution? Via BuzzFeed: President Barack Obama will launch into a scathing critique of “trickle-down economics” during an official stop on a day-long fundraising swing through Florida this afternoon.

Saturday Afternoon Stupid
Update: The Senate postponed the three energy subsidy amendments until next week. Instead, they voted on amendments to drill in the outer continental shelf, expedite the keystone pipeline, and eliminate duplicative programs. Needless to say, Democrats killed all three of those amendments. We’ll fight on next week. We’ve been gunning hard for the Pompeo/DeMint bill, which would end all subsidies and special tax preferences for energy companies. This is our chance to stand decisively on the side of the free-market and against crony capitalism and picking winners and losers in the market. Today, it was announced that the Senate will consider several non-germane amendments to the highway bill (S.1813). Senator DeMint is offering his bill as an amendment (#1589) to the highway bill later this afternoon. This is where we will separate the men from the boys within the Republican Party. Please call your senators and tell them they must vote for the DeMint amendment if they are really sincere about ending corporate welfare. Unfortunately, there are other amendments that will be offered in an attempt to further shield the inveterate rent-seekers in government. Senators Menendez and Burr are offering an amendment (#1782) to pass the T. Boone Pickens natural gas subsidies. Boone Pickens’s plan would grant a $4,000 tax credit per car produced by all manufacturers of natural gas vehicles. It would also give consumers a $7,500 tax credit for purchasing one of these vehicles. Companies that install commercial fueling stations for these vehicles would be entitled to a $100,000 subsidy per station! We’re not just against handouts for green energy; we must oppose them for natural gas as well. Also, Senator Stabenow will offer an amendment (#1812) to counter DeMint’s bill. Her amendment would extend all of the green energy credits and subsidies, including many of the new provision enacted in the 2009 Porkulous. [ more background here ] Vote no on the Stabenow and Menendez-Burr amendments. Vote yes on the DeMint amendment. After today, we will know who really stands on the side of limited government.

Senate Alert: Kill Energy Subsidies
Earlier today, Quin Hillyer ripped Matt Yglesias a new one after he went on Twitter to delight in the death of Andrew Breitbart. Well, Yglesias was outdone by Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone who wrote this afternoon, ” Good! F#*k him. I couldn’t be happier that he’s dead.” I would call on Rolling Stone to fire Taibbi but they’ll probably give him a raise. All of which raises two questions. 1. Why do liberal pundits delight in the death of conservatives? 2. Why do liberal pundits have no shame in publicly expressing these sentiments? You can probably give the same answer to both questions. Liberal pundits hate conservatives and their hatred of all things conservative knows no bounds. I would also add that liberal pundits aren’t very mature. While I strongly disagree with liberals, I somehow manage to write obituaries about them without jumping for joy that they have left this mortal coil (i.e. former Boston mayor Kevin White , Andy Rooney and Jack Layton , the late leader of Canada’s NDP). Outside of the bin Ladens of this world, I refrain from saying unkind words about the dearly departed. If someone dies and I have nothing nice to say about them, I don’t say anything at all. If only Taibbi, Yglesias and other liberal pundits practiced this principle. But in order to practice this principle one must have class and wisdom and neither Taibbi and Yglesias have demonstrated these qualities.

The dirty little secret the left wants everyone to ignore. Planned Parenthood is first and foremost an abortion provider and doesn’t perform mammograms, they only refer women to clinics that actually perform them. In other words, Komen was getting nothing for their money. (LifeNews) — During a conference call with reporters this afternoon, Susan G. Komen
