NO ONE IS SAFE: Your USB drive can be hacked.
AMERICANS ARE SUCH DELICATE LITTLE FLOWERS: A majority of Americans have apparently been trained to think that the government is here to make them feel better when they're uncomfortable.
FIRE REID? Republicans rally to oust Senate Majority Leader. Obviously from the picture very few -- if any -- attended, but I wish I had been there to see for myself.
BACKWARDS, TO THE FUTURE: Obama and the road not taken.
CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSIONER: Free speech should not be a civil right (on college campuses, at least). Twenty-somethings are such delicate little flowers that their brains "cannot properly process certain dangerous ideas."

The boob who wants to protect their delicate adolescent minds is a ... you guessed it ... Democrat.

Unfortunately I have to concede that he may have a point, since his adolescent mind was clearly infected when he was a student at Berkeley and Yale Law....
MOCK THEM, ROUNDLY. The Consumer Product 'Safety' Commission is still trying to crush buckyballs.

And save the magnets.
AIR FORCE for better, faster, cheaper weapons development. This isn't unique to the Air Force; the 'better, faster, cheaper' transformation occurs regularly in the DoD about every 10 years. And without exception, every time the bureaucrats step in to 'improve' the acquisition process, they muck it up.

This will be the 4th 'improvement' I've seen since I started working as a defense contractor.
INSPIRATION: the Acuity flagpole project.
BENDING THE COST CURVE: Florida’s biggest ObamaCare insurer hiking premiums over 17 percent.

ObamaCare is bending the cost curve ... just in the wrong direction.
LIBERAL NERD WORSHIP: There’s a difference between intelligence and wisdom.

Random thought: liberals may be intelligent (though I don't think that argument is supported by evidence), but conservatives are wise. It's a reality world vs. real world thing.
