AP's Ferguson Apparently Upset That Mickelson 'Didn't Apologize For Wh
Californians will be surprised to learn that the income-tax increase voters approved in November was, according to Doug Ferguson at the Associated Press (HT Steven Greenhut at Reason.com), "the first tax increase in the state since 2004."

WaPo's Kelly Uses '64 Multiple Murder-Suicide To Push for More Gun Con
The Washington Post’s Metro columnist John Kelly has climbed aboard the gun control train once again. Usually Kelly's writing is non-controversial non-political fare about local Washington, D.C. history, but this week, his columns turned political.
