Big Bang before hoops
In a few weeks, they won't be in the usual Thursday slot - NCAA basketball takes their place.
Kaley and Melissa have to get ready for the May sweeps.
Taxing Flacco
Americans for Tax Reform look at Joe Flacco's new contract - and see plenty going to the tax man.
By choosing to remain a Raven, Flacco is now set to pay a combined marginal income tax rate of 51.98 percent. This overwhelming tax rate is composed of the federal, Maryland, and Baltimore County income tax rate, as well as the Medicare tax. And that’s excluding his “jock tax” liability for away games – play the Patriots at Gillette Stadium, pay Massachusetts income tax on earnings for that game - and other taxes levied against him such as Maryland’s property tax.Can his completion percent be above 51.98 percent every game?

Who wants to buy my house?
The Atlantic looks at the trouble of buying a big house as an investment - you need a buyer to sell to in the future.
In the coming years, baby boomers will be moving on (inching further through the python, if you will). “They will want to sell their homes, and they’re hoping there are people behind them to buy their homes,” says Nelson, director of the Metropolitan Research Center at the University of Utah. He expects that in growing metros like Atlanta and Dallas, those buyers will be waiting. But elsewhere, in shrinking and stagnant cities across the country, the story will be quite different. Nelson calls what’s coming the “great senior sell-off.” It’ll start sometime later this decade (Nelson is defining baby boomers as those people born between 1946 and 1964). And he predicts that it could cause our next real housing crisis.
“Ok, if there’s 1.5 to 2 million homes coming on the market every year at the end of this decade from senior households selling off,” Nelson asks, “who’s behind them to buy? My guess is not enough.”

Surprised? We aren't
Jonah Goldberg lists some of the problems with Obamacare that conservatives saw coming in 2009 and 2010.
It turns out that Obamacare actually makes self-insurance less of a gamble because you can always throw workers on public exchanges without penalty. Naturally, the administration’s response is to look for ways to tighten the ratchet and make self-insurance harder. It’s a typical response. The shortcomings of a wildly ambitious law only justify more regulatory strong-arming.
Are twisted arms covered under Obamacare?

Today's Tied with me
Technorati has this blog tied with Arkansas GOP wing - which checks on the Calvin Coolidge biography by Amity Shlaes.
Coolidge, no Keynesian, proved himself admirably thrifty. His much greater claim to greatness was in awakening Enterprise. Notwithstanding his taciturn public persona, Coolidge, as compellingly narrated by Shlaes, enacted, and effectively, some very good — happiness-inducing — policy, to wit: raising tax revenue by lowering tax rates.
Lessons for today - if you look at them.

Scenes before the storm
Driving home after work, I saw a soccer team practicing for the season.
Walking through Target, there was the smell of grass seed and fertilizer.
Spring is coming, right after this storm.

Fundraising for the TSA
With the news on the TV this morning, the youngest asked what TSA stands for.
He said his school has a TSA and they sell lollipops.
Maybe selling lollipops could help the airport screeners get through the sequester.

Warning signs for Democrats
Jay Cost looks at the troubles facing Democrats as they attempt to build their power base.
Can the Democrats keep these groups happy and grow the economy? The evidence to date suggests the answer is no. Witness the Democratic opposition to opening up domestic energy production, which would have been a no-brainer 50 years ago. Witness the party’s stimulus bill of 2009, which focused more on political patronage than economic growth. Witness the party’s continued efforts to push for a cap and trade system, which would kneecap economic growth. And above all, witness Obamacare, a vast regulatory system that saddles businesses with even more burdens. The Democrats have proposed all of these things since 2009, when they were voted into office to jump-start the economy.

Water is wet. So is the EPA.
Ken Cuccinelli earned a nice victory for Fairfax County and Virginia - the EPA has declined to continue fighting for their "water is pollution" regulation.
The fight mentioned one watershed in one part of the county.
A win there and the EPA would be eyeing areas all across the country.
Multiple governments would have spent tons of money to attempt to meet new EPA rules.
The effect of this ruling and the decision by the EPA to halt their pursuit of this burdensome regulation could save taxpayers in Fairfax County nearly $300 million in unnecessary costs.
Cuccinelli put the EPA back in its place.
Protect the environment, not the bureaucracy.

Priorities
Ace links a thoughtful piece on why Republicans didn't cave to prevent defense cuts in the sequester.
Why?
Cutting defense spending isn't the only danger we face.
Whether or not President Obama and the Democratic Party are actually trying to alter the relationship between the government and the governed while increasing the scope of the welfare-state, a broad cross-section of voting Americans believe they are--and this group tends to vote for the modern Republican Party. They have sent a group of legislators to Washington to represent their interests, and at a high level of abstraction, these people have told their legislators the following: "The present state of our economy and the trajectory we are on with respect to government spending but especially entitlement spending, represents the most important threat to our long-term national security. We understand the requirements of citizenship and that taxes are the price we pay for a civil society, but we are increasingly uncomfortable with the growth of what government does and provides with the money we give it. We are the Party of a strong and rational national defense, and to that end, we have prioritized the threat. The threat is fiscal insolvency, and it must be addressed. We must retain a strong military, but not at the cost of a weakened country."

Can we have a sunset?
George Will questions the continuation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, based on the statistics of 2013.
Today Mississippi has more black elected officials — not more per capita, more — than any other state. Yet defenders of the continuing necessity of Section 5 merely shrug about the fact that race is no longer a barrier to either the nation’s highest office or to state and local offices in what once was the state most emblematic of resistance to racial equality.
Times change. The federal government doesn't have to make local governments ask "mother, may I?" for events a half-century ago.

God outside the box
DaTech Guy notes the quiet passing of the National Council of Churches from the New York scene.
Juicy Ecumenism has the messy details.
The once prestigious and now nearly bankrupt National Council of Churches is quitting its famous New York headquarters built with largesse from John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and whose cornerstone was laid by President Dwight Eisenhower. Down to a handful of staffers, the NCC will consolidate into the United Methodist Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
Two generations ago, this group was on top of the religious world. Now?
But as generations passed a funny thing happened. As people of faith continued to be “fruitful and multiply” and as the public school continued to fail their students and people sent their children to religious schools where they were taught an orthodox faith. Denominations without faith started to die, and Catholic splinter groups and liberal organizations like the LCWR found themselves marginalized as young people of faith found nothing in them to inspire them to join until finally they fell under the scrutiny of a Vatican no longer ignoring those who decided to stray.
You'll hear peeps from protesting liberal theologians once in a while. But their power is gone because the people have gone elsewhere - to real faith experiences.

Reduce, reuse, recheck inventory
For one Seattle store, a ban on plastic bags has meant more groceries leaving the store without payment.
Mike Duke, who operates the Lake City Grocery Outlet with his wife, said that since the plastic-bag ban started last July, he's lost at least $5,000 in produce and between $3,000 and $4,000 in frozen food.
Bring your own bag and sneak something out. Or take something meant to be reused and find it trashed.
The Lake City Grocery Outlet also saw a dramatic increase in the number of hand baskets stolen after Seattle's plastic bag ban was initiated.
Shoplifters would fill up their baskets – some with purchased items and others with stolen groceries – and walk out of the store at 3020 N.E. 127th St. Duke would see the hand baskets discarded around Lake City and said the losses from the baskets and merchandise are in the thousands of dollars.
So last fall, the store did away with the remaining hand baskets to try and curb theft. But that frustrated some customers, and hasn't substantially stopped losses.
Need to recheck the policy.

My college closes its current basketball arena today.
My time there included a game between the college newspaper and college radio station in 1983.
My newspaper team won 62-26, and I scored the last two points with a shot just from the left of the free throw line.
I scored, so I was ready to go to the sideline. Then I saw the clock that the game was almost over.
Farewell, Towson Center. Where I shot and scored on a college court.

Keystone coming through
Breitbart sorts through the Friday document dump to find this gem - a draft environmental assessment on the Keystone pipeline.
The assessment concluded that blocking the pipeline would have little impact on stemming climate change nor curtailing the development of Canada's oil-sand fields. In other words, the State Department has concluded building the pipeline will have little impact on the environment.
If you build it, fuel will flow.

Will a comet strike Mars next year?
What's bad news for Mars would be good news for Earth-bound scientists.
Observing such an impact, which might leave a crater hundreds of kilometres across, would be a huge scientific boon. Of the geological processes which shape the surfaces of planets, impacts are the ones that humans have had the least opportunity to observe up close. The faces of the moon, of Mars and of Mercury show the aftereffects of such impacts, but the processes by which they hollow out their craters and raise their rims and central peaks have only been witnessed in miniature.
