TRUTH is what we say it is.
GUN HUMOR: Why Southern California Is Different than Real America.
RIDE ABOARD NASA'S DAWN SPACECRAFT on a virtual flyover of giant asteroid Vesta. Mission data was used to create the topography you see. Waypoints include: Divialia Fossa; Marcia crater, part of the "snowman" feature; and Aricia Tholus.
WHEW! Early Mayan Calendar Found That Extends Past 2012.
GAY MARRIAGE isn't the only issue President Obama "evolved" on this week.
THE WASHINGTON POST'S war on civility. On the bright side, though, I know that I should vote against whoever the Post endorses. (Of course, I could just as reliably vote Republican.)
DEMOCRATS' RACE TRAINING: If they're not racist, that's proof that they are racist.
NAOMI SCHAEFER RILEY: The Academic Mob Rules.
"THE [OBAMA] TEMPLE OF POSTMODERN LIBERALISM was rocked these last few weeks, as a number of supporting columns and buttresses simply crashed, leaving the entire edifice wobbling."
TEACHER INTERVIEW:
After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said:
'Let me see if I've got this right. 'You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.
'You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.
'You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.
'You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams.
'You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English, Spanish or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.
'You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.
'You want me to do all this, and then you tell me ... I CAN'T PRAY?

MITT ROMNEY on the Obama campaign strategy:
I think you’re going to find throughout this campaign season that the president’s team will be doing everything in their power to try and hold up various shiny objects. Many will be with regards to me, some will be with regards to the president’s policies or promises of some major new giveaway.

The Washington Post is doing their best for Obama by dangling this shiny object. It was in today's paper, front page above the fold (although you'd never believe it from the online edition).

I think Romney ought to adapt the Bush defense to offense: "When I was young and stupid, I was young and stupid. But I matured; President Obama has not."

EVERETT DIRKDEN: A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon it adds up to real money. It has....
SPACE: the next 'Habitat for Humanity'.
NOT EVERYONE IS STUPID, just those who read, hear, listen to, and believe the media, Obama, Democrats, and other assorted varieties of socialists.
RANDOM THOUGHTS from the retirement lane. It only takes watching for a few minutes to come to the inescapable conclusion that these anchors could easily be conspiracy theorists -- if only they were a bit smarter.
DREAM CHASER planning for an orbital demonstration mission in 2016.
ELIZABETH WARREN dances with lies -- and other affirmative action stories. I have an idea: lets give affirmative action points to individuals based on blood heritage. Elizabeth Warren gets 1/32 of a point (at best); Barack Obama a half point; George Zimmerman gets at least a half point for being 'Hispanic' and perhaps a fraction of a black point as well....
MR. PRESIDENT, what are you going to do?



Much more here.
MINDING OUR OWN SAFETY is too much for the likes of us. We must let nanny mind for us.
