A GLIMPSE inside the 'reality' bubble. It's interesting to see that Sarah Palin has firmly established herself inside their heads.
INSTAPUNDIT: "Stupid anti-science Bible-belters."
AMERICAN VIGNETTES: These daily posts are a new (well, since last November) feature at Don Surber's blog. Some of these exceptional Americans are famous, most are not. All made America better. This is a list of them with links, updated daily. Go. Bookmark it. I did.
WHOLE FOODS: where you can find the vaccine-fearful.
BARNEY & CLYDE on animal heaven:


This is what Heaven looks like to a (formerly) abused cat.
HEY, IT'S ONLY YOUR MONEY -- and your kids.
A REAL LEADER: King Abdullah quotes Clint Eastwood.
"He said there is going to be retribution like ISIS hasn't seen," said Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr., a Marine Corps veteran of two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, who was in the meeting with the king. "He mentioned 'Unforgiven' and he mentioned Clint Eastwood, and he actually quoted a part of the movie."

Hunter would not say which part of "Unforgiven" the king quoted, but noted it was where Eastwood's character describes how he is going to deliver his retribution. There is a scene in the picture in which Eastwood's character, William Munny, says, "Any man I see out there, I'm gonna kill him. Any son of a bitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only going to kill him, I'm going to kill his wife and all his friends and burn his damn house down."
Since President Obama can't -- or won't -- lead, he should follow or get the hell out of the way.
GLENN REYNOLDS: Three ways to 'do something' about poverty.
ELIZABETH WARREN VERSUS THE 401(K): the 401(k) wins handily. I'm reminded of the old aphorism that the way to build a small fortune is to start with a big one. Not so; the way to build a small fortune is to start with a 401(k) -- and leave it the hell alone.
FLYING THE UNFRIENDLY SKIES: NASA proposes drone helicopter for Mars exploration.
THE GREATEST THING about “American Sniper” is this — its box office take shows the ninnies, for now, remain a minority.
AMERICAN CROSSROADS PAC takes aim at Hillary Clinton. Don't color me surprised when she bows out of the race, citing 'health issues' or something similar, after American Crossroads has exhausted its funding.
MORE ON the Liberal thought police.
OBAMA TO RELEASE national security strategy as urgency over the Islamic State grows. Frankly I don't know why he bothers, since we already know what it is: delay, obfuscate, delay some more, and then declare victory after it's too late to do anything that could make a difference.
IT'S A LITTLE LATE to join the Romney campaign.
BLOCKING ROBOCALLS: I agree with the painful shock technique myself.
ROSETTA IS WATCHING: spacecraft sees fascinating changes in comet 67P.
OBAMACARE IN FOUR SENTENCES:
1. In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to uninsure the insured.

2. Next, we require the newly uninsured to be re-insured.

3. To re-insure the newly uninsured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured.

4. The extra charges are required so that the original insured, who became uninsured, and then became re-insured, can pay enough extra so that the original uninsured can be insured, which will be free of charge to them.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is called "redistribution of wealth" ... or, by its more common name ... socialism.
