An Army veteran in New York is facing up to seven years in prison for possessing five empty 30-round ammunition magazines.

Scary Ted Cruz Labeled the New McCarthy in Leftist Freakout
Apparently Rand Paul’s surviving – and thriving – after two plus years in the Senate has caused the Left to turn all guns on Sen. Ted Cruz. He must be doing something right – even the elderly Republican members of the Senate Club have chastised him for his impudent remarks directed at Defense nominee Chuck Hagel. Woe to any Senator – or Senate candidate – who threatens the Ruling Class or the Left.
George Will: The Manufactured Crisis of Sequester
There is one growth industry amidst the desultory economic recovery we are in – synthetic hysteria.

Japanese Engineer: That’s not a Robot, that’s my Girlfriend (+video)
The Japanese have incredible technological achievements to their credit. Add to that girlfriends who never get blemishes, stay forever young, and never need a haircut. Most likely, they also don’t get moody. While it’s unlikely that they care much about romantic evenings, this is an engineering marvel.
How to Win in 2014: Stop Obama’s Legislative Agenda, Promote the Farm Team
Many pundits seem to think that a successful Republican party would be one that closely resembles the Democrats. But lot of the talk about the divided nature of today’s GOP is an artifact of its failure to win the White House.
Rich Hollywood Movie Producers Love Subsidies (That Would Pay For Teachers, Firefighters, And Police Officers)
Hypocrisy abounds as Hollywood movie producers receive $1.5 billion in government handouts. This is the story you likely won’t hear at the Oscars later today. When (successful) Eva Longoria waxed eloquently at the Democratic National Convention last year about her lack of need of a tax break, she didn’t include the producers who get massive handouts.
