The Washington Post talking about how we all need universal IDs.

an effective solution would be to issue tamper-proof, biometric ID cards — using fingerprints or a comparably unique identifier — to all citizens and legal residents

And lest you think that we will require them for everything we do, I’ve assembled a partial list of what they’ll be required for and not.

They will be required for (partial list):

Driving a car, renting a car, buying a car, buying any goods, getting Internet service, getting electricity hooked up, all services and utilities, air travel, boat travel, train travel, bus travel, automobile travel (passenger), going through security at airports and all gov’t facilities, when talking to any gov’ t official, when paying taxes, when being arrested, when being released from jail…

They will not be required for (full list):

Voting, running for President.

For those hoping for a GOP pickup with Lautenberg retiring, remember that to most NJ Democrats, the opposition party is the FBI.

Nanny Bloomberg’s like a toddler playing “I Spy with My Little Eye”: “Um, let’s ban… [looks around] … uh, STYROFOAM TAKE-OUT BOXES!”

So Resident Evil 6 is about to come out for PC. It got pretty mediocre reviews, but Resident Evil 4 is one of my all time favorite — probably in my top five — so I’m probably going to go ahead and preorder Resident Evil 6 in the hopes it will match the glory of 4 if even for just a few minutes.

So why has Capcom had so much trouble with the Resident Evil series after number 4? Resident Evil 5 seemed to be building on the formula of 4, but somehow was just meh in comparison (co-op?). Resident Evil: Revelations was pretty good, but no where near as great as 4. And while I’ve yet to play number 6, it’s apparently extra meh.

So here’s some advice for Capcom: You had one of the greatest games ever made, so why don’t you just copy its formula exactly for the next Resident Evil game. Same weapon system. Same merchant system. Same level size. Same types of enemies. Same saving system. Same everything. I mean, I literally bought that exact same game twice (I got the original release of Resident Evil 4 for Gamecube and bought it again for Wii — getting a 100% completion both times), so if you just give me a little more of that, I will throw money at you.

Actually, here is one change you can do for Resident Evil 4 II: Remove any escort mission crap. There, Capcom, I just gave you exactly how to make a game even better than one of the greatest games ever made. That will be one million dollars.

So now Bloomberg is going after styrofoam. It’s almost like he’s begging to be stopped now and for someone to assert pride in freedom and that there are some limits to government power. The way things are going, though, in the future “New Yorker” is going to be a term than means “weak-willed ninnie who can be bullied by anyone.” So, New Yorkers, why don’t you finally do the right thing and lock Bloomberg up in a shoe box and throw him in the harbor before people lose all respect for you.

So the Republicans have filibustered Hagel. I don’t expect this to last. I mean, are Republicans really going to stick to the standard that complete dummies aren’t allowed in important government positions? Seems like the ship sailed on that a long long time ago. I covered a lot of this in my New York Post column on Susan Rice I did a while back; I mean, are we really going to pretend that non-dummies are an option here?

Let’s just face reality here: Obama is going to keep the government filled with complete idiots who will be giant, dimwitted obstacles to any sort of success we might want to achieve as a nation. It’s like we had a difficulty selection for the next four years, and we chose “Nightmare.” We’re not going to be plowing through things; it’s going to be a moment to moment fight for survival. But think of how fit and skilled we’ll be for when one day we decide we don’t want a horrible useless idiot in charge of government. We’ll be on easy street! Or completely shell-shocked from the horrors we just went through. I dunno, but let’s all pretend to be positive.

Anyway, this all seems really cruel to the hapless boob Hagel; judging by his stuttering testimony, he probably has no idea what’s going on right now and is very scared and confused. So just go ahead and give Obama his first choice dummy. And then let’s just bunker down and get through this.

“Atlas Shrugged” is a book about producers who stop working because they didn’t want to pay for the parasites of the world anymore.

But there are other people who drop out of the work force.

Lazy bastards who just want to live off their parents or the government because they’re too unambitious to make their own way in the world.

Call it “Atlas Slacked”.
