FIVE YEARS AGO -- today.
DON SURBER'S scoreboard:


Number 10 on the list.
LITTLE MARTIANS -- or perhaps little Lunar critters. The little solar-powered yard lights alongside the patio walkway have finally melted their way out of the snow (they were completely covered in the initial snowfall).


The camera flash unfortunately doesn't do them justice. Both are actually lit, and in the dark look like stubby candles floating in a pool of wax. Before the snow, both were the same height above the ground, but the soil is so wet that the one on the left has actually sunk down about an inch.
GLOBAL WARMING UPDATE: Governments must shift to cold preparation.

Heh. I remember, back in the early 70's, some 'experts' claiming that the Little Ice Age (1350-1850) was actually ameliorated by then anthropogenic global warming (e.g., wood stoves).
WHAT IRS SCANDAL? It's only a scandal when the IRS harasses politically favored groups.
WHAT IS CARBON DIOXIDE? The post is somewhat superficial, written at about the level of an average 6th-grader, but even that may be too erudite for the average leftist.
SIGNS OF LIFE: China's Jade Rabbit lunar rover may have survived the long lunar night.
UAVS FLY despite the FAA’s prohibition. This is the destiny of ObamaCare and the rest of Obama's 'mandate' society. Americans are an ornery lot, and when most of us just plain ignore the mandates of our so-called 'ruling class', enforcement is impossible.
KATIE PAVLICH: The Painful Irony of Michelle Obama's $12,000 Dress.

Is Michelle Obama trying to compete with Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton? If so, she failed; the Duchess has class -- and a $395 dress.
OBAMACARE? I prefer cash.

RELATED: A mandate for doctors to participate in ObamaCare in the offing?

It's interesting to note that the only ones in the medical community comfortable with ObamaCare are the bureaucrats.
