Recycling update
The local recycling center has increased its payment on aluminum cans to 55 cents per pound.
That's a little extra jangle in my pocket.

Regulation pollution
Megan McArdle previews the proposed emissions limits - and the likelihood they come to pass before 2017.
As with any new Environmental Protection Agency rule, a lengthy comment period will ensue. After the comment period, the EPA presumably has discretion about the deadlines they set. With a big election coming in 2016, and some nice, big, coal-consuming swing states on the line, I would wager cash money that those deadlines are set no earlier than Dec. 31, 2016.
So Hillary, what difference will these regulations make?

Benghazi Lie-Check
NRO's Jim Geraghty knows how to spot a lie by Hillary Clinton.
The point of this…
Hillary's assessment of the events in Benghazi that night was undoubtedly shaped by the PTSD she had from escaping snipers in Tuzla, Bosnia.
… is to remind people that Hillary Clinton is willing to lie, quite dramatically, boldly, and shamelessly, even in ways that can be easily checked and refuted, when her political aspirations are at stake.

Virginia traitor
Ace notes how former Senator John Warner has endorsed a pair of Democratic candidates for Senate this year - including Mark Warner over Ed Gillespie in Virginia.
I doubt Ted Cruz, Rand Paul or Mike Lee will be endorsing any Democrats - ever.
Understand why the Tea Party distrusts the Republican establishment?

No easy answers
Police officer Jack Dunphy gives his perspective on Elliott Rodgers.
Do not be taken in. In this respect Elliot Rodger was like most men one finds in prison: full of rationalization and justification for the behavior that resulted in their incarceration. Was he mentally ill? No doubt. But was he insane in the sense that, had he survived, an insanity defense would have been available to him? Not a chance. Such a defense requires that the accused be incapable of knowing the wrongfulness of the acts he is charged with. The degree of planning and subterfuge Rodger engaged in clearly demonstrated he knew the consequences of what he would do, which is why he was so explicit in his plan to commit suicide when confronted.
There is evil in the world.
Blame that, not the NRA.

Peak Straw Man

Fond farewell
Best of the Web notes the final column by former Delaware governor Pete DuPont.
Through tough times, he keeps his hope high.
My optimism is driven primarily by the ingenuity and resilience of America's people. A nation of more than 300 million will have its share of lawbreakers, slackers and charlatans, but America is so much more filled with people who are wise, honest and hardworking. The capacity of Americans to sacrifice—greatly at times—for others is truly impressive.

Stuck on QWERTY row
Megan McArdle looks at why fixing the VA will be hard - processes started through the years resist reform and change.
What that means in plain English is that when you put reforms in place, you can’t just rip out the stuff that’s not working and do something different. What you’re actually reforming is the process, and because many of the current elements of the process are functionally mandated by other government rules, or court rulings, or bits of legislation that your reform effort didn’t amend, you have to layer your reform on top of the system you wanted to reform, rather than in place of it. Many of your reforms simply stack another layer of bureaucracy on top of the bureaucracy that was already causing problems. This is a problem that CEOs don’t face, unless they’re in some heavily regulated business such as banking or oil refining.
QWERTY remains the standard years after the last metal arms struck paper on a typewriter.
It takes so much more than talk to fix a broken system.
Which is why Obama has struggled making his promises reality.

Pay up, Democrats
Powerline has the best way to get money for reparations - make Democrats pay.
Let’s stick with the principle of strict liability for a moment. The chief defender of slavery and its aftermath, the regime of Jim Crow segregation, was the Democratic Party. Democrats in large numbers opposed the 13th Amendment, the 14th Amendment, then for decades disenfranchised blacks in defiance of the intent of the 15th Amendment, and contrived numerous ways to take the property of newly freed blacks and/or prevent them from acquiring property in the South. For decades Democrats blocked civil rights legislation, and federal anti-lynch laws that Republicans proposed in the early 20th century.
Waiting for MSNBC to get behind this idea.

IRS makes life harder for you
DaTech Guy tells the numerous problems that may come from the latest IRS-Obamacare ruling.
Topping the list -
You don’t have to provide health insurance to people who do not work for you. If the government won’t allow companies to make a cost-effective decision they will cut those costs a different way and the cheapest and fastest is to cut people.
Democrats will try to scramble - we didn't force your boss to fire you - but the reason things are becoming harder for you is their vote for Obamacare.

Hail to the Redskins, and gun owners
It's interesting to read about gun control and the Redskins - and see the same theme to the same argument.
Supporters should give up before the tide of opinion overwhelms them.
Peter King sees the NFL forcing Daniel Snyder to change the team's name.
I’ve thought this for some time. At some point, at some league function or some private moment, but probably not for some time because it’s not a tidal wave of native sentiment yet, Roger Goodell and perhaps another owner Snyder trusts will go to Snyder and ask him, “Why are you doing this? Is this worth it? If you’re offending even 15 percent of native Americans in this country—and that’s probably a low number—is it worth it?”
To me, it just doesn’t make much sense for Snyder to keep fighting a fight that’s on the wrong side of history.
A CNN column by a lawyer who's a gun owner doesn't want to defend gun rights too much longer.
Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently pledged $50 million to address gun issues. In the face of such a concerted effort, the failure of gun rights advocates to allow any reasonable flexibility to our right to bear arms could mean that it will eventually buckle under the weight of thoughtful opposition propelled to action by the next series of tragic and, unfortunately, inevitable mass shootings.
You don't get understand why people stand their ground on these issues - just the appearance to a wave you can't stop.
But if you stand firm, you might find it's a mirage.

EU wake-up call
The European Union held elections Sunday.
The leadership of the European Union didn't like the results Monday.
The architects of the EU envision a European superstate in which national identity is subordinated to the abstraction of “Europe.” The regime would be internationalist but only titularly democratic: the real power (as has been traditional on the continent) would reside in a technocratic elite, not the people. But the people, it seems, have just awakened to this reality and it turns out they don’t like it.
That's the way it should be.
Listen to the people; don't make rule by elites.

Dustbury knows where to look.
And if you're not doing so well with members of the sex you prefer, you might ask yourself: "What do all these failures have in common?" If you need a hint, here's one: there's a pertinent picture on the front of your driver's license.

Blame Bush, again and again
For five years, George W. Bush has been back in Texas.
But when trouble crops up, Democrats bring him back to the fore.
VA problems?
Due to war and Republicans trying to hold the line on spending.
Can you look at the real problems, please?

It's Rolling Thunder weekend in Washington.
Heading to the Orioles' game in Baltimore, traffic slowed on I-66 just outside the Capital Beltway.
It was hundreds of motorcyclists heading downtown for the event.

Sticky business
Michael Gerson sees why the VA problem have stuck to the Obama team.
But I'd contend that the stickiest scandals are the ones that confirm pre-existing suspicions -- that draw neon outlines on an existing portrait. The Iran-contra affair confirmed a public impression that Ronald Reagan was disengaged. Bill Clinton's infidelity was further evidence of indiscipline. More recently, the image of Chris Christie as a bully was reinforced by a staff that engaged in malicious bullying.
This is precisely why President Obama's Veterans Affairs scandal is the most serious and damaging of his presidency. It is the Obama administration in sum and in miniature: incompetent management of a health system defended by crude media manipulation.
Now maybe more problems will stick.

Not on the warpath
Nice to see Senators Warner and Kaine were not among the 50 senators to ask the NFL to change the Redskins' name.
An aide to Kaine said he has been publicly supportive of a name change for months but that he had concerns about the tone of the letter sent by the Senate Democrats.
An aide to Warner said in a statement that “Senator Warner believes that it’s not for Congress to dictate what the league does. He believes that over time, team names will change to reflect the times, as happened with the Washington Wizards.”
It's easy to fuss at something in somebody else's backyard.
