Whatever Happened to "Green Jobs"?

Whatever Happened to "Green Jobs"? | Mother Jones:
"When you stop and think about it for a minute, the messaging change here is pretty extraordinary.
After all, four years ago the administration's central talking point on climate change did not mention climate change.
Rather, the idea was that greening our economy would confer a major benefit in the form of a profusion of green jobs.
"It's ironic that the administration, which helped launch 'Don't talk about climate change, talk about economics and jobs,' has flipped to 'Let's talk about climate change and frame it in moral terms,'" says Joe Romm, a former Clinton administration clean energy official "

Model 'regrets £5,000 NHS boob job and wants them reduced'

Josie Cunningham: Model 'regrets £5,000 NHS boob job and wants them reduced' | Mail Online:
"A part-time model who had a £4,800 breast enlargement at taxpayers' expense has said she now wants the implants removed, and is expecting the NHS to foot the bill once more.
Josie Cunningham, 23, has said rather than improving her life her breast enhancement surgery has left her feeling self-conscious and has led to bullying, so she wants them removed.
The aspiring model hit the headlines earlier this year when she had her breasts increased from a 32A to 36DD on the NHS as she said she was being bullied for her smaller cleavage."

RACIAL HATEMONGERING ON THE TAXPAYER’S DIME

RACIAL HATEMONGERING ON THE TAXPAYER’S DIME: 
Newly Released Documents Detail the Department of Justice’s Role in Organizing Trayvon Martin Protests. “Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained documents proving that the Department of Justice played a major behind-the-scenes role in organizing protests against George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is on trial for second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in February 2012.”
So not only did we have a public statement by the President that might have tainted the jury pool, but now we find the Department of Justice was involved in, basically, organizing a lynch mob?
Related: Disorder: Judge Recesses Zimmerman Trial, Excludes Damning Evidence. “Trayvon Martin’s phone had hundreds of messages discussing criminal behavior, including trafficking black-market firearms.” So maybe the folks at DOJ felt they had something in common with him . . . .
Look at the residents of this ‘gated community’ who lived just in that one spot. It is more diverse than a Democrat photo-op. This neighborhood had young and old, Asians and blacks and whites and Hispanics all living next to each other in peace, but needing gates and a neighborhood watch to protect themselves from outsiders.
Without the race-baiters — now almost exclusively to be found in the Democratic Party and its media wing — Americans get along pretty well. And it’s certainly a more diverse crowd than at Obama Campaign HQ.

Why Underemployment May Be Worse Than It Looks

Why Underemployment May Be Worse Than It Looks:
"Gallup reports that 17.2 percent of the workforce is underemployed, a startling number compounded by its divergence from the government's count.
....From a broader perspective, the Gallup measure actually has increased from its 15.9 percent multi-year low in October 2012.
The potential significance of the recent trough is that it came a month before the Federal Reserve launched the third round of quantitative easing, the $85 billion a month bond-buying program that is supposed to help the central bank achieve its dual objectives of price stability—and full employment."

Civil libertarians' hypocrisy

Jonah Goldberg: Civil libertarians' hypocrisy
What I have a hard time understanding, however, is how one can get worked up into a near panic about an overreaching national security apparatus while also celebrating other government expansions into our lives, chief among them the hydrahead leviathan of the Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare). The 2009 stimulus created ahealth database that will store all your health records. The Federal Data Services Hubwill record everything bureaucrats deem useful, from your incarceration record and immigration status to whether or not you had an abortion or were treated for depression or erectile dysfunction.
In other words, while the NSA can tell if you searched the Web for "Viagra," the Hub will know if you were actually prescribed the medication and for how long. Yes, there are rules for keeping that information private, but you don't need security clearance or a warrant to get it.
Then there's the IRS. We already have evidence of abuse there. For instance, the National Organization for Marriage, which opposes same-sex marriage, had its tax returns and private donor information leaked to the news media last year, presumably in order to embarrass Mitt Romney (he gave the group $10,000) and others during the presidential election.
And yet, worrying about NSA abuse is cast as high-minded while worrying about ObamaCare or the IRS is seen as paranoid. Why?
