TV Revolution In USA
eMarketer.com reports that 45 percent of U.S. households are expected to buy a new television next year, which may be a record.
It says that much of this is driven by a desire for a “smart” TV, which is a TV that allows for internet connection.
eMarketer notes that most TVs that are now connected to the web do so using a video game console.

Answer to yesterday’s puzzle: The dangers of a concentration of all power in the general government of a confederacy so vast as ours are too obvious to be disregarded.

Jounalism Lives At Least Somewhere In Philly
Days before the election, Barack Obama flew to New Jersey to not let the crisis of Sandy go to waste and a photo of him comforting Donna Vanzant was widely circulated.
Ms. Vanzant is the owner of North Point Marina in Brigantine which was practically wiped out.
Well, here it is in January and Victor Fiorillo of The Philly Post contacted her for an update.
Ms. Vanzant notes that her insurance company is dragging its feet, FEMA is no where to be found and the President responded to her plea for help with a form letter thanking her for supporting the troops.
“When you get a hug from the President of the United States, you feel like there’s something there. A promise was made,” she said.
A big thank you to the emotion-driven, low-information voters who returned this incompetent phony to the White House.

Pa GOP’s State Capitalism: The Shell Subsidy
Efficient and economical energy production lowers the cost and raises the standard of living for all.
Free market pricing, where misallocations are penalized, is the most efficient system to develop energy. Government is not a venture capitalist.
What the government giveth, the government taketh away. With Act 13 of 2012, the Republican General Assembly and Governor imposed at tax, obscuring it with the rhetorically inaccurate description “Impact Fee” which distributes tax revenues to all counties including counties, like Philadelphia and Bucks which have banned Marcellus Shale drilling (see Act 87 of 2012 below) and on the very same day, Feb. 14, 2012, the same Republican General Assembly and governor gave billion dollar private business Shell Oil a huge tax break by targeting a tax free “Keystone” zone for a Shell Cracker plant.
Again, with Act 85 of 2012 and on the same day, July 2, 2012, Republican Leadership again “privileges”, as the Leftists say, Shell Oil with billions in tax subsidies.
New World Disorder
A group called Team Black Sheep posted this video of a homemade drone buzzing a helpless French police car in Paris. One does not need the imagination of Stephen King to be a tad concerned about how our ever-advancing technology is going to affect the future.
Maybe the Occupy Wall Streeters and “anonymous” hackers in their Guy Fawkes masks have the right idea. Fawkes, after all, had the goal of returning Catholicism to England.
There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one; the regeneration of the inner man.

The Milk Cliff And Other Scares
The “Milk Cliff” scares us as milk prices, supposedly, will skyrocket unless Farm Subsidies for privileged few producers are imposed . Farm Subsidies are, essentially, Republican ‘earmarks’ for their constituents.
James Bovard, in WSJ, lays out the problem. This is legislative dereliction of duty to the Forgotten Taxpayer, and the forgotten consumer, who is hammered with farm price subsidies. Will Republican Leadership sell us out again? Odds makers are giving odds they will. What do you think?
All tax cuts are not created equal; some are more equal than others in Obama’s State Capitalist word. To be accurate, though, it is a bipartisan Big Government State Capitalist Weltanschauung that infects the lawmakers in Washington and Harrisburg.
Billionaires benefit General Electric, inheritor of Enron’s wind energy program, German based Siemans, and, of course, Warren Buffet and his band of billionaire Big Government Socialists distributing wealth to themselves.
Wind subsidies, and other ‘renewable energy’ subsides, a bipartisan assault on The Forgotten Taxpayer, lobbyists swarm to save privileged tax cuts for billion dollar businesses while the rest of us taxpayers are Forgotten as the bipartisan Fiscal Cliff and Obamacare, an avalanche of new taxes, crushes the rank and file taxpayers, who is us.
Bipartisan, another word for Big Government Tax Increase.
Tim Carney of the Washington Examiners eloquently informs us here.
