[Cracked] Oh, lovely. We're sure Benjamin appreciated having a custom Seize sur Vingt tuxedo when he was debating which of his nostrils to pick for dinner. Other details of this orgy included how the couple first bonded on a trip to Ibiza with 25 of their closest friends, how their wedding guests included Paris Hilton and Adrien Brody, and how they once got into a minor disagreement over where to put a Gerard van den Berg chair, a trendy La-Z Boy that typically sells for thousands of dollars.
Look, wealthy people have every right to throw fancy weddings. But when you get the newspaper to rub our faces in it like this, you inch just that little bit closer to becoming the villains in a young adult dystopia.
But don't worry -- their extreme wealth hasn't caused them to forget how to treat working-class life like a novelty:

Pity the Democrats, to the extent you can without bursting into hysterical laughter at their agony. America has thoroughly rejected them in every branch of the federal government plus out in the states, and on top of that they were utterly humiliated by the guy they all claimed was a complete moron. Which begs the question ‐ what does that make the sanctimonious harpy he crushed in the Electoral College?
They still haven’t realized what’s going on. Their ego-driven drive to dominate normal people and shape us into New Socialist Nongendered Beings has blinded them to the bitter reality.
We think they, along with their minions in the media, in Hollywood, and on campus, suck.
They are baffled at our refusal to acknowledge their moral, intellectual, and political superiority. It doesn’t just compute.
Yeah, well compute this, geebos.
You look nuts. I mean wacko, zonked out, "Hey, that goldfish is firing a mind control laser at my brain and making me break dance" nuts.
But don’t stop. No, pump it up. You’re at "11," and I say take it to "12."
This is great!
All this insanity is going to help us normals retain power, from your gyno-hat marches to the fake hate crimes to your insistence that the Russians are responsible for everything from Hillary losing the election to the rarely-discussed but well-known liberal epidemic of ED.
Here’s a little test. It’s been about six months since Trump treated The Smartest Most Accomplished Woman In The World like a NordicTrack treats Harry Reid, and does anyone know even one person who has said, "You know, I voted for Trump, but now after Neil Gorsuch, General Mattis and H.R. McMaster, I really wish I had checked the box for Felonia von Pantsuit?"

Never, ever count them out. They are still alive and kicking. They are still extremely dangerous. Sooner or later they will come up with a candidate who can win. Face it. Bill Clinton was charming and charismatic. Barack Obama was charming, charismatic and running against John McCain. So, yeah, they did it before and they can do it again.

When that Nordic Track beat Harry Reid half blind I then realized there IS a God and that He IS a Republican.
[Hot Air] I used to think the best sign that liberals had won this debate among the broader public was that Republican senators have begun conceding it. But now I don’t know. A pageant answer becoming headline news because it defied liberal orthodoxy seems like a solid sign too. Is it because Kara McCullough’s black and represents D.C. and therefore isn’t "supposed" to think this way that makes it news? Or is it the fact that she disagreed with the liberal position and was rewarded for it by winning the pageant? Impure thoughts mustn’t be incentivized.
The first query: "Do you think affordable health-care for all U.S. citizens is a right or a privilege and why?"
"I’m definitely going to say it’s a privilege," McCullough responded. "As a government employee, I am granted health-care. And I see firsthand that for one to have health-care, you need to have jobs. So therefore, we need to continue to cultivate this environment that we’re given the opportunities to have health-care as well as jobs to all the American citizens worldwide."
The jobs part of that answer may be more of an affront to Democrats than the "privilege" part. One of the selling points of ObamaCare in 2010 was that it would end "job lock" -- supposedly. Not until health insurance is decoupled from employment can people truly be free, etc etc. In practice, if you’re staring at a potential $12,000 deductible for an exchange plan, it might make financial sense to not only cling to your job but to take a pay cut in order to hang on to that sweet, sweet employer-provided insurance. But really, we’re in the post-ObamaCare phase of American health-care reform now, on both sides: Conservatives are scrambling to patch together something, anything, that replaces the status quo while liberals see an opportunity to shove the country towards single-payer. There’s plenty of support for it out there too, and not just on the left. If Americans don’t yet think health care is a right, it seems safe to conclude that most think it should be.
I was surprised that I couldn’t find a recent poll squarely on point, but this one taken by Pew in January is close. This is a proxy for the right/privilege question, I think.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
