President Obama wants
new rules on police use of military equipment and new federal
spending to buy cops body cameras to make sure they’re abiding by
those new rules. Ummm…Wouldn’t simply cutting off the flow of
armored vehicles be cheaper? Just sayin’…- The House is taking up, yet again, a one-year extension on some
corporate and individual tax breaks. Hey, if you folks want to
kneecap the IRS while you’re at it, it’d be much appreciated. - Americans’ opinions of the Republican Party are
improving even as they see
gridlock as the likely outcome of a GOP Congress. Cause and
effect? You decide. - Iraq’s prime minister
canned 24 Interior Ministry officials cuz the whole ISIS thing
is getting out of hand. - A voter-approved
constitutional cap on income tax rates goes into effect in
Georgia. Which is nice. - The
Chinese and
Brazilian economies both look pretty lousy, though
lower gas prices are giving Americans some welcome relief in
the wallet. - In the wake of mass arrests, Hong Kong’s chief executive
warned protesters to stay off the streets. - Researchers say that every three minutes a
child is injured by a toy. Well, hell, give the kid something
that isn’t labeled “Spyderco” to play with.
