LIVE FREE OR DIE: Bill Whittle on freedom, risk, and the Reno Air Races.
WHAT'S NEXT? Banning texting while walking? Why not just ban texting altogether?
ERIC HOLDER: I didn't lie; I just misunderstood the question.
CAL THOMAS: It's we the people, stupid.
INSTAPUNDIT on 'smart' presidents and stupid things. I would only add that even us illiterate Tea Party rednecks have a particularly easy time identifying faux intellectuals.
OH, MY: Republicans are responsible for Democrats' loss of faith in government.
VAN JONES: time for Democrats to start a 'leftist' Tea party. They already have one -- called 'progressives'.

UPDATE: White House throws Jones under the bus.
THE BEGINNINGS of totalitarianism? Americans are beginning to tire of our childrens' temper tantrums. It's time to reassert adult authority.
LIST OF DEMANDS from OccupyWallStreet:
Restore 'living wage'.
Universal single-payer healthcare.
Guaranteed living wage, regardless of employment.
Free college education.
End fossil fuels.
$1,000,000,000,000 infrastructure spending.
$1,000,000,000,000 for 'ecological restoration'.
Racial and gender equal rights amendment.
Open borders.
Paper ballots.
Immediate debt forgiveness for all loans.
Outlaw all credit agencies
Allow workers to sign union ballots anywhere, anytime.
Does anyone seriously believe these spoiled brats shouldn't be spanked and sent to their rooms without supper?

UPDATE: NY unions join in support of OccupyWallStreet. Must be the 'free unionization' demand.
AN "AUTONOMOUS COLLECTIVE": another progressive oxymoron -- with emphasis on "moron."
OBAMA: The President of Contempt.

Since then I've noticed an occasional outburst of activity around it -- usually 2-3 hits at a time -- but today my 'engineers have hairy ears' post has had close to 60 hits already.

What did I do right? Or wrong, as the case might be?
THE FIRST F-35B landing at sea on the U.S.S. Wasp.



More pictures and commentary here.
WHAT TO DO when the Messiah turns out to have feet of clay: stop whining.
IS HERMAN CAIN RACIST? Obviously; all conservatives are racist. Skin color doesn't matter.
BURSTING THE BIG GREEN BUBBLE. Not quite. When the hot air cools, bubbles collapse.
"HILLBILLY FIREWALL" to reject Obama? We'll see tonight.
THE PRESIDENT SAYS WE'RE SOFT. Larry Correia doesn't think so.
OK, SO EXPLAIN why we should re-elect you.

George Stephanopoulos, ABC News: “There’s so many people who simply don’t think they’re better off than they were four years ago. How do you convince them that they are?”

President Obama: “Well, I don’t think they’re better off than they were four years ago...."
