PROFESSORS AND ADMINISTRATORS overwhelmingly contribute to Democratic candidates.

Instapundit comments: “Seems like they’ve got a diversity problem.” Not really; those who feed at the public trough usually vote for the trough fillers.

THE DEBT EXPLOSION: Big Media’s biggest failure?

HOW I KNOW I’VE GOT TOO MANY OAK TREES: the mulch beds on both sides of the driveway consist entirely of crushed and shredded acorns.

INSTAPUNDIT ON THE HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE: “One point ... that is worth mentioning .... The government decides to try to increase the middle class by subsidizing things that middle class people have: If middle-class people go to college and own homes, then surely if more people go to college and own homes, we’ll have more middle-class people. But homeownership and college aren’t causes of middle-class status, they’re markers for possessing the kinds of traits — self-discipline, the ability to defer gratification, etc. — that let you enter, and stay, in the middle class. Subsidizing the markers doesn’t produce the traits; if anything, it undermines them.”

REPUBLICANS HAVE WRITTEN A “PLEDGE TO AMERICA” calling for tax cuts, a reduction in government spending and a repeal of the new health care law, among other initiatives.

DO YOU HAVE TO BE A CONSPIRACY THEORIST to wonder if Tuesday's 'town hall' was staged? Certainly it's less of a stretch than the Apollo moon landing conspiracy theories.

THE ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA “reveals itself, not as the people’s watchdog against irresponsible government, but as the irresponsible government’s guard dog against the people.”

Yes.

HOW I KNOW that government - local, state, and federal - is too damn big: the Prince William County Library has a Sunday session on “theraputic drumming.”

ANOTHER SCARY ECONOMIC FACT:

The universe is about 13.7 billion years old.

And in Obama’s first 2 years, he and the Democrat-controlled Congress have run up federal deficits of $1.4 trillion and $1.3 trillion (projected), respectively.

The connection? In just 2 years, Obama and the Democrats have OVERSPENT the equivalent of $200.00 a year for every year since the Beginning of Time.
