Why Are Conservatives Happier Than Liberals?
Why Are Conservatives Happier Than Liberals? PBS NewsHour Dec. 9, 2011 PBS
One of the biggest correlates with happiness in our surveys was the belief of a meritocracy, which is the belief that anybody who works hard can make it.
That was the biggest predictor of happiness.
That was also one of the biggest predictors of political ideology.
So, the conservatives were much higher on these meritocratic beliefs than liberals were.

Just As We Suspected, The Fast And Furious Program Was A Gun-Control Plot After All

Scandal:
Newly obtained documents show that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives discussed using its covert operation Fast and Furious to argue for new rules about gun sales.
We told you so.
As we observed in June, the way Fast and Furious — the government's gun-running operation that resulted in the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry — was conducted made no sense unless its intent was to facilitate violence with U.S. weapons in the interests of pursuing the administration's gun-control agenda.
Now documents obtained by CBS News confirm that our first suspicions were correct.

TaxProf Blog: University of Texas Law School Dean Resigns Immediately in Wake of Faculty Division Over Compensation
I'll just note one bit that struck me as especially telling: the revelation that one faculty member negotiated an arrangement with the Law School according to which she would be notified each year of who on the faculty earned more than she did.
That gem captures rather well what this turmoil is really all about.

New Video Proof of Media Lies About UC Davis Protests
Trevor Loudon's New Zeal Blog » New Video Proof of Media Lies About UC Davis Protests
UC Davis Republicans have released a new video showing what actually transpired on the campus before some protesters were pepper-sprayed. The almost nine-minute video shows that the UC Davis campus police were encircled by the demonstrators, who tell the police to free some of their arrested comrades.
“If you let them go,” the protesters say, “we will let you leave.”
Later, the protesters can be heard chanting, “F— the police.”
The national media have made it appear that the police attacked demonstrators peacefully protesting on a sidewalk for no good reason at all.
NBC anchor Brian Williams called them “kids” and suggested that parents in the audience should be outraged over their treatment.
