I am starting to believe that these people believe that there is a ruling class and I don't like it. While everyones attention is on banks, the gulf spill, and will Timmy resign the assault on agriculture continues with the EPA and the FDIC the main attackers. If you thought $4 a gallon gas was bad wait until you buy the $10 Big Mack. Sorry, but this is the rantburg.

Biden wasn't "joking" he was speaking down to a lesser status individual who was guilty of "speaking truth to power", something Democrats always say, but really only mean for themselves. This isn't just personal arrogance, it is an established, fundamental sense of entitlement and superiority that finds criticism rude and inappropriate. His boss is much, much worse.....
No, there will not. The lefties may lose an election cycle or two but the dependent class they've created is already large enough to guarantee them victory in the long run.

Can we expect the store manager to receive the full "Joe the Plumber" treatment from the media? And maybe a visit from the building or health inspector?

The 'dependent class' make lousy cannon fodder. The inherit self interest, lack of initiative, and avoidance of challenge is a serious drawback in any confrontation or natural/man-made disaster.
A US Senate committee has approved a wide-ranging cybersecurity bill that some critics have suggested would give the US president the authority to shut down parts of the Internet during a cyberattack.
Senator Joe Lieberman and other bill sponsors have refuted the charges that the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act gives the president an Internet "kill switch." Instead, the bill puts limits on the powers the president already has to cause "the closing of any facility or stations for wire communication" in a time of war, as described in the Communications Act of 1934, they said in a breakdown of the bill published on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee website.
The committee unanimously approved an amended version of the legislation by voice vote Thursday, a committee spokeswoman said. The bill next moves to the Senate floor for a vote, which has not yet been scheduled.

I wonder if he will use Afghanistan and Iraq as a good enough war to warrant arbitrarily shutting down the internet.

HT to Weazel Zippers
He's been keeping such a low profile since nearly derailing Barack Obama's campaign for president in 2008 -- is it possible that the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright has mellowed?
Hardly.
During a five-day seminar Wright taught last week at the University of Chicago, he was back at it, claiming that whites and Jews are controlling the flow of worldwide information and oppressing blacks in Israel and America.
Just look at that -- the right reverend Wright has noticed there are Black Israelis... although possibly that's his delicate way of referring to the Arabs in the occupied territories. Even more likely, he hasn't any idea of the racial make-up of Israel, and is blindly making assumptions that there must be oppressed people in Israel, and naturally they must be dark of skin.
"White folk done took this country," Wright said. "You're in their home, and they're gonna let you know it."
The course, advertised as focusing on politics and public policy in South Africa and America, was taught in a small, ground-floor room at the Chicago Theological Seminary on the university campus, where Wright's voice echoed out an open window. The class was composed of about 15 to 20 students, mainly older African-American women who would arrive early and giddily linger during lunch breaks and after class, looking for the reverend's attention. (The course cost a little over $1,000 if taken for college credit and $300 if taken without.)
The absence of young people was telling: The lectures seemed ossified, relics of a pre-civil-rights America -- a point that Obama himself made during his famous speech on race in March 2008, prompted by the incendiary comments ("God damn America!") made by his former pastor and mentor.
"Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect," Obama said. the bullshit just flows
Listening and hearing are very different things, we are so often told.
Yet during this course -- which was described as asking, "What is the response and public witness of persons of faith to ongoing developments in both countries?" -- Wright made many statements about what he believes are the true aims of whites and Jews.
A man is known by the friends he chooses. This man was one of President Obama's dearest friends for a great many years.
"You are not now, nor have you ever been, nor will you ever be a brother to white folk," he said. "And if you do not realize that, you are in serious trouble. Can't you feel the healing love? Can I get an amen?

As one who attended grad school at the U of C, I am appalled but not surprised. One can be so open minded that one's brains fall out. This also goes for institutions of higher learning. BTW, I lived three blocks from the Reverend Louis Farrakhan - at least I'll give him credit for style points and charisma. Wright is merely a very successful huckster - as is the current occupant of the W.H. - but on a much lower and viscious level.
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
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
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
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
