Who could be better at suspicious timing than Bill and Hill?
(And what’s he spending the other $15 million on? Cheeseburgers and lap dances?)

York Called It
Romney is out.
I disagree with Senator McCain on a number of issues, as you know. But I agree with him on doing whatever it takes to be successful in Iraq, on finding and executing Osama bin Laden, and on eliminating Al Qaeda and terror. If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror.
This is not an easy decision for me. I hate to lose. My family, my friends and our supporters… many of you right here in this room… have given a great deal to get me where I have a shot at becoming President. If this were only about me, I would go on. But I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America, I feel I must now stand aside, for our party and for our country.
That shows class, and just raised my opinion of Romney a notch or two. If he evaluates what happened, and realizes how he failed politically, he could spend the next four years getting ready for a real run, and showing us that he really is the guy he claims to be now.
Not everybody makes President on their first try.

Here is the face of Multiculturalism: Abject, dhimmi, disgrace.
Don’t worry. It can’t happen here! No way we’d elect a president who consorts with guys who like sharia law. Right?
Be nice. Be Polite.
And have a plan to kill everybody you see.
Bob Owens provides a very good synopsis of concealed carry training, including some very practical advice that hadn’t occurred to me:
We were told not to try for tight groups, to spread our shots around the target’s center mass. “Air goes in and out. Blood goes rounds and round. Any variation of that is bad.” Bullets close together cause less disruption than those spread apart affecting different areas. I get that.
I took a similar course in California a couple of decades ago. It’s a sobering, thought-provoking exercise which is a beneficial side effect of liberalized CCW laws.
Now if we could only get CCW laws in California out of the racist 19th century…

Byron York sees signs that the field is about to narrow.
