◼ "Look, I don't read these national papers," - Sacramento Bee

Gov. Jerry Brown was talking with reporters today about the Affordable Care Act and sequestration when Politico's Jonathan Martin asked him to weigh in on gun control and a few other matters of national concern.

"Look, I don't read these national papers," Brown said...

As his state sinks into the abyss, as businesses flee, the press is oblivious. He, after all, has a 'D' after his name.

State considers law requiring police to inspect homes of gun owners...

◼ One of the major gun-control efforts in Olympia this session calls for the sheriff to inspect the homes of assault-weapon owners. The bill’s backers say that was a mistake. - Danny Westneat/Seattle Times

Forget police drones flying over your house. How about police coming inside, once a year, to have a look around?

As Orwellian as that sounds, it isn’t hypothetical. The notion of police home inspections was introduced in a bill last week in Olympia....

I spoke to two of the sponsors. One, Sen. Adam Kline, D-Seattle, a lawyer who typically is hyper-attuned to civil-liberties issues, said he did not know the bill authorized police searches because he had not read it closely before signing on.

“I made a mistake,” Kline said. “I frankly should have vetted this more closely.”

That lawmakers sponsor bills they haven’t read is common. Still, it’s disappointing on one of this political magnitude. Not counting a long table, it’s only an eight-page bill.

Video: Obama Angrily Denounces His Own Idea

◼ Fresh off his weekend golf trip with Tiger Woods, President Obama attacked Republicans this morning for refusing to raise taxes as part of a deal to avert the looming "sequester" cuts -- which his administration championed and he signed into law. Here's a particularly alarmist snippet from Obama's prepared remarks (he took no questions from reporters), via the Examiner: - Guy Benson/Townhall



And who, pray tell, is primarily responsible for these "not smart , not fair," job-destroying, chaos-creating cuts? Over to you, liberal reporter Bob Woodward:

◼ Obama: We must avoid these dangerous spending cuts that I signed into law - Allahpundit/HotAir

After Obama's sequester event, one of the first responders on stage told me that he "felt like a potted plant."

@brianhughesdc And aif he stood there and listened while Obama lies through his teeth and said nothing, then he is a Potted Plant.

◼ HOSTAGES TO SEQUESTRATION - John Hayward/Human Events

There’s nothing really new about Barack Obama’s anti-sequestration crusade, as summarized by Fox News:

The president spoke Tuesday at the White House, urging Congress to come up with a short-term fix to cancel sweeping cuts to defense and other programs set to hit March 1.

“These cuts are not smart. They are not fair. They will hurt our economy. They will add hundreds of thousands of Americans to the unemployment rolls,” Obama said. “This is not an abstraction — people will lose their jobs.”

The president ticked off a host of expected repercussions should the $85 billion in cuts for this year take effect. He said Border Patrol, emergency responders, FBI agents, airport controllers and others would all face cutbacks. He said teachers would be laid off by the thousands and America’s military would be degraded.

This is the same thing he always does. It really should be a fixture in late-night comedy routines by now. Propose a single dollar of spending cuts, and suddenly Obama has a row of firefighters lined up to receive their pink slips – as if more than a small fraction of his bloated spending has anything to do with the vital services a limited government should provide. You might recall that during the 2011 debt ceiling crisis, Obama was openly threatening to stop Social Security checks if he wasn’t allowed to rack up more debt.

This President often lapses into the rhetoric of terrorist “hostage-taking” to whine about his opponents, but it’s the most massive case of psychological “projection” in the world. Spending cuts are never about food stamp cards pulling millions in cash from ATMs at strip clubs, or billions of dollars in “free” cell-phone fraud, or federally-funded robot squirrels, or green energy giveaways. It’s always cops, firemen, and teachers marched onto the trap door, the instant Obama is told he has to stop spending money.

The American people should be sick to death of this.

Alec Baldwin’s Capital One Percenter RaceCard Commercial!!

◼ Poor little Alec Balwin – fresh off cancellation of his tv series 30 ROCK, he’s being accused of a racist rant against a photographer!! Will be beat the rap? - SooperMexican

◼ Alec fast & slur-ious - Leonard Greene/NY Post

Actor Alec Baldwin allegedly called a black Post photographer a racial epithet, a “crackhead’’ and a “drug dealer’’ during a confrontation on an East Village street yesterday morning, prompting police to intervene.

He then called G.N. Miller — a decorated retired detective with the NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau and a staff photographer for The Post — a “coon, a drug dealer,’’ Miller’s police statement said.

At one point, Miller showed Baldwin ID to prove he’s a retired NYPD cop, which Baldwin dismissed as “fake.” Cops were called, and Miller, 56, and Baldwin, 54, both filed harassment claims against each other.

Fair warning...

Cops rescue baby deer from icy lake and feed it POPCORN as its family licks it back to health

◼ Two police officers rescued an adorable baby deer today after it fell into a frozen-over lake...

When they got to the dock, the officers began to dry the fawn off.

But then, like a scene out of a Disney movie, three other deer, an adult and two young babies, emerged gingerly from the woods and began to lick the baby deer.

After a while, it began to move around, blinking its big brown eyes before getting up slowly and moving around the dock.

The Party - This is the group whose dogma is legislated into law in a thousand formal and informal ways.

◼ The Three Types of People You'll Meet in Liberal Hell - Sultan Knish

Members of the Party are a minority, but they are the vanguard, the ideologically committed core that acts as the ruling class and the force for political conformity. Party Members report thought-crimes to the government, swarm as morality mobs to shame and denounce dissenters and campaign and vote for tighter restrictions and harsher penalties....

As the Party gains more influence, the People have largely learned to keep their heads down, to mumble the right slogans that are repeated on the evening news and to stay out of trouble. The People care very little for politics. They distrust the agendas of everyone running for office, but they have been largely taught to vote their very short term economic interests. And while they won't call and inform on dissidents, they believe that most people who get caught up in the Party's web could have avoided it by keeping quiet....

The final course isn't set yet. The People may still wake up and the Party Members may find themselves shining shoes and writing bitter poetry about the bourgeois that no one reads. But if the People don't wake up, then the future is not a cake shop that caters to lesbian weddings by law, it's a cake shop that doesn't follow any laws and that sells cocaine under the table.
