Friday was not the day for it...

But here are some comments of the day, mostly on things that seemed out of place to me yesterday.

Scott Ott on other news of that day:

More from Pajamas Media:

Rick Moran on The Coming Regulatory Black Hole.

Bill Whittle on the Fiscal Cliff and the leading lemmings...

And all the Trifectioners on Jim DeMint Leaving the Senate:

Rick Berman at Daily Caller on Michigan and Right-to-Work:

Interestingly, one fact that seems to have been missed by the union sympathizers is that unions including the UAW have tens of thousands of members in right-to-work states.

Repost: KIll the Human Rights Commission

George Jonas at Canada's National Post

Their present might be our future, in which case this fight and whether rights or political correctness will prevail is of vital interest, for:

When the social engineer or “human-rights” commissar suppresses human rights, he doesn’t do so because he’s an ogre, but because he’s a do-gooder. Human rights aren’t invariably pretty. Some may protect and encourage nasty ideas and exclusionary practices. Some may stand in the way of attractive schemes that would improve the lot of mankind, in my opinion no less than in the opinion of the human-rights commissar. All the same, they are human rights. As such, they trump even the most attractive human ambitions with which they come into conflict. But as this would interfere with the state’s social engineers; they brought HRCs into being to insulate the state from the consequences of freedom with a liberal (in both senses of the word) reign of terror.

Repost: The Kingdom of Fairness

Victor Davis Hanson at Jewish World Review

Notable quote: Now the president wants another $50 billion in new borrowing. But why would borrowing another $50 billion jump-start the sluggish economy when 100 times that figure in deficit spending so far has not?
