MORNING JOE: Sarah Palin? Abu Ghraib? Never heard of ’em.
DAVID FREDDOSO: Unions, Losing Wal-Mart Fight, Attack Longtime DC Grocer. “Problem is, the food tastes the same without the union. And it probably costs less, too.”
SKIP THE STORE: It’s At Your Door! Works for me.

DAN MITCHELL: The IRS: Even Worse Than You Think.
CHANGE: Budget Deficit: Government Handouts Top Tax Income. “For the first time since the Great Depression, households are receiving more income from the government than they are paying the government in taxes.”
COULD FAT BE GOOD FOR YOUR HEART? I don’t know, but this makes me wonder: If — as seems at least plausible — the dietary advice we’ve been getting from the powers-that-be for years turns out to have been all wrong, will there be any accountability?
“WEAR A HEADSCARF OR WE WILL KILL YOU.” Killin’ works both ways. Shame more people don’t recognize that.
WELL, OUR POLITICAL CLASS DOES SEEM KINDA NUTTY: Lamar Alexander: We Need A Fiscal Straitjacket. Given that they’re a danger to themselves and others, maybe they should be restrained.
WELL, LET’S HOPE: Cuban Communists Headed For Oblivion. “Although Cubans continue to repeat slogans, almost no one believes in Marxism-Leninism, while the government tries to escape from the system’s chronic failures by creating a few spaces that might allow private initiative to alleviate the disaster of collectivism. While they applaud revolutionary mottos, young people call Marx ‘the little old man who invented hunger.’ The adults, in confidence, acknowledge this outlook. After 52 years of dictatorship, without a hostile parliament or an opposition that could hinder the government’s work, the six basic elements that determine the quality of life of any modern society have decayed into nightmares: food, potable water, housing, electricity, communications and transport.”
ED DRISCOLL: Oceania Has Never Been At War With Abu Ghraib. “Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it.”
