OBAMACARE: Answering the important questions. If only politicians were this honest.
ARE CONSERVATIVES SNOBS? Snobs? No. Suburban? Yes. And that, probably, explains this post.
THE HILL: Obama is boxed in on healthcare reform.

Instapundit adds: "The GOP should add a package including interstate insurance sales and Health Savings Accounts and assorted other improvements, and dare Dems to vote against it — or Obama to veto. He drove the car into the ditch; they’ll just be pulling it out."
WEDDINGS AND CELEBRATIONS: Girl from the Obamacare Website and Baghdad Bob.

Heh.
TEXAS FIRM makes the world's first 3-D printed metal gun.


From Austin, Texas, no less -- the single most liberal enclave in the state.
IF THERE WERE NO MEN, there would be no need for abortion on demand.
SOME MEMBERS OF CONGRESS are sharing in the pain of canceled insurance policies in the wake of Obamacare going into effect. Most aren't.
AMERICAN THINKER: Why Republicans Lose in Urban Areas. It's the messaging, stupid.
HOUSE DEMOCRATS TO OBAMA: Fix ObamaCare or else (we bolt).

Heh. And in other news, Obama's approval index fell to one point shy of his all-time low (-26).
SOYUZ: the long ride home [video]. Long, but worth the trip.
THE FACT CHECKER: U.S. debt and the 'foreign master'. I would take issue with the assignment of blame to Sarah Palin since, as Kessler himself readily admits, the trope is well-used on both sides of the political aisle.

That said, however, the key point is that "the rising debt itself is the biggest risk to the long-term health of the U.S. economy."
BYRON YORK: Obama IT chief really, really doesn't want to testify about ObamaCare.
JIMMY CARTER calls President Obama incompetent. Carter should know....
TECH FOCUS: A History of the Magnetic Compass.
DO INTROVERTS make good Presidents? Yes. Liars don't.
REP. TREY GOWDY (R-SC) Benghazi isn't going away. Despite the media's assistance.
WELL, THAT'S AWKWARD: A white supremacist who made headlines worldwide for plotting to take over a town in North Dakota received the results of a DNA test -- and the results say he's 14% black.
WASHINGTON POST: Navy tests drone’s ability to integrate with aircraft carrier environment.
The drone also completed arrested landings and catapult landings, and participated in flight deck handling drills.
Hmm. I've made arrested landings and catapult launches from a Navy carrier, but never a catapult landing. What did I miss?

Where are those legions of editor-type fact-checker people that the media claim to have to ensure accuracy?
