Yet another great reason to avoid New York.
Note that both vehicles were double-parked, which is illegal in New York City (as almost everywhere else).
This would appear to be a case of ODF.
The sports car was later towed, and the truck was able to drive away unaided — but not before the truck’s driver told witnesses, “I didn’t see nothing,” according to NBC News.

Now the world has evolved further—we are even more integrated and mobile, suggesting we’d benefit from fewer, more stable time zones. Why stick with a system designed for commerce in 1883? In reality, America already functions on fewer than four time zones. I spent the last three years commuting between New York and Austin, living on both Eastern and Central time. I found that in Austin, everyone did things at the same times they do them in New York, despite the difference in time zone. People got to work at 8 am instead of 9 am, restaurants were packed at 6 pm instead of 7 pm, and even the TV schedule was an hour earlier. – See more at: http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2013/11/how-many-time-zones-does-america-need-anyway.html#sthash.3P05yxZu.dpuf

The Other McCain is on the case.
One of the most annoying habits of liberals is their tendency to confuse their political agenda with moral virtue.
It’s never about the efficacy of policy with them. Instead, it’s about voting your way to Heaven: Blessed are those who vote Democrat, for they shall be called the children of Gaia, or something.
So . . . homophobia.
Why is it that (a) opposition to specific policy ideas is routinely conflated with (b) irrational fear and hatred of homosexuals? And why do liberals have to run around pointing the finger of accusation at others, even where no one is remotely in danger of discrimination?
I think it’s genetic.

Belgian lawmakers are considering a bill that, if made law, would allow children under 18 to end their own lives.
The problem with the Slippery Slope Argument is that it is true.

On Friday, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the birth control mandate in Kathleen Sebelius’ Department of Health and Human Services regulations under Obamacare. The court said that religious business owners could not be forced to buy contraceptive coverage for their employees. Judge Janice Rogers Brown wrote, “The burden on religious exercise does not occur at the point of contraceptive purchase; instead, it occurs when a company’s owners fill the basket of goods and services that constitute a healthcare plan.”
