HEH:
Just weeks ago, Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn tore the anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in her right knee and fractured her tibia during a harrowing ski accident in Schlamding, Austria.

Vonn was airlifted by helicopter to a hospital in Schladming.

Concerned that she wouldn’t be ready for the 2014 Winter Olympics, the U.S. Olympic Committee announced today that her spot on the U.S. Olympic Team would be filled by Barack Obama.

U.S. Olympic officials said Obama deserved the spot on the team because no one has ever taken a country downhill faster than he has.

OBAMACARE TO END HEALTH PLAN used by 100,000 New Jerseyans. But that's okay; they're all 'little people'.
ANOTHER WAY FOR REPUBLICANS TO PICK UP SENATE SEATS: Rural Coloradans to vote on breaking away as 51st state, angered by liberal policies on guns, energy. If it works, Texas could form 5 states: North Texas, South Texas, East Texas, West Texas, and ... Austin. Four out of five ain't bad.
IF YOU LIKE DRONES, you'll love these. Hint: they're not all air vehicles. Scroll through the gallery.

Eric Holder sues to block Louisiana school choice.
This Louisiana case is typical: Holder wants to keep the archaic residue of the civil rights movement alive forever, as a club with which to beat the Southern states, and as a means of screwing African-Americans. After all, if blacks can’t escape from terrible schools, their employment prospects will be lousy. They likely will be welfare-dependent, and therefore reliable Democratic voters for decades to come.
The new slavery. Keep 'em on the plantation at any cost.
AND YET HE KEEPS COMING BACK: Bill Clinton foundation has spent more than $50M on travel expenses.
OH, TO HAVE HAD A CAMERA. A bumper sticker I saw this morning: "That OBAMA sticker on your car might as well read 'I'M STUPID'."
FIFTEEN CANADIAN THINGS that Ted Cruz should also renounce. Well, except for the letter 'ZED'.
SUPERCOMPUTING a quieter wind turbine. So the birds will never hear their executioner.

Lots of snark in the comments. Obviously wind energy isn't popular with those who are 'lucky' enough to have one in their back yards....
