ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, in a few hundred thousand years, North America could become the next Saudi Arabia of fossil fuels.
ARE THEY CALLED 'GREEN' JOBS because they cost so much money?
THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING EMPEROR.
BLOOMBERG POLL: Obama leads Romney 53 to… 40? Obviously they only polled Democrats....
THE PEOPLE have gotten dumber -- just because they won't follow idiots over the cliff.
TECHWISE CONVERSATIONS: the 'skills' gap.
THE POLITICAL FIGHT on health care is over. Republicans won. To borrow a phrase from the RatherGate era: 'snide but accurate'.
JONAH GOLDBERG: Are the Democrats doomed? Only if they insist on remaining true to their "progressive" colleagues.
THE BENEFIT of Bloomberg's big beverage ban may be the beginning of the dismantling of the Nanny State.
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION passing over major U.S. population centers for the next week or so. Here's a website that will tell you where and when to look.
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS HATE SPEECH:
In church last Sunday, this little old lady in the pew next to me was silently saying a private prayer. I saw her lips moving and I thought it was so unique that I just had to ask her who she was praying for. What she said was so sweet and sincere that I just had to share it with you:
Dear Father, These past couple of years have been tough... You have taken my favorite actor Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress Elizabeth Taylor, my favorite cowboy James Arness, my favorite athlete Bob Feller, my favorite singer Whitney Houston and my favorite salesman Billy Mays. I just wanted you to know that my favorite president is Barack Obama.

In Jesus' name. Amen.
From my email. Don't tell the Democrats.
THOMAS SOWELL: Random thoughts on the passing scene.
For a long time, Democrats have gone to Washington to win at all costs, while too many Republicans went to Washington to compromise with Democrats. The rise of the Tea Party may change that.
Read the rest.
"IF THE PRESIDENT can rewrite federal laws that he doesn’t like, there is no limit to his power. Then, he will not be a president - he will be a king."

The world in catching on. I first wrote about His Royal Kingship in 2011 and many times since.
AT LEAST HE'S CONSISTENT: Obama Runs His Campaign Like He Runs the Country … In the Red.
MEMO TO NBC: What the hell is wrong with you?
You deserve what they’re saying about you. It’s earned. You have worked long and hard to merit the suspicion, acrimony, mistrust and revulsion that the media-buying public increasingly heaps upon you. You have successfully eroded any confidence, dispelled any trust, and driven your audience into the arms of the Internet and the blogosphere, where biases are affirmed and like-minded people can tell each other what they hold to be true, since nobody believes in objective reality any more. You have done a superlative job of diminishing what was once a great profession and undermining one of the vital underpinnings of democracy, a free press.
The mainstream media isn't mainstream any more.
HORSES' ASSES

HEH: Vulnerable Democrats Skipping DNC Convention. Now is not a good time to mention the Titanic.
THOSE FAST AND FURIOUS documents must be dynamite: "Some have speculated that Obama’s intervention means that the president himself has something to hide."
