THIS OUGHT TO BE THE HEADLINE: "Global Warming Kills Dolphins."

AN INCONVENIENT QUESTION: "Is it just me, or is the notion that guns are especially dangerous on university campuses because they’re lawless and full of alcohol and drugs one of those arguments that “proves too much?” If campuses are really that bad, isn’t the problem, you know, bigger than just whether someone with a permit has a gun there?"

HOW ABOUT THAT? John Galt is Irish.

OBAMA JUSTICE DEPARTMENT: We'll enforce DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act) but not defend it because we think it's unconstitutional. Uh, hold on there. Isn't an act, passed by Congress and signed by the President, presumed to be constitutional unless the Supreme Court decides otherwise?

Or can our next President just declare ObamaCare to be unconstitutional and just refuse to defend/enforce it?

Instapundit comments: "You take an oath to enforce the Constitution. This may give the President the authority to enforce the Constitution as he sees it, but it surely doesn’t give the President the authority to choose not to enforce the Constitution as he sees it."

MARK STEYN on the Wisconsin public union kerfuffle:

That's what "collective bargaining" is about: It enables unions rather than citizens to set the price of government. It is, thus, a direct assault on republican democracy, and it needs to be destroyed. Unlovely as they are, the Greek rioters and the snarling thugs of Madison are the logical end point of the advanced social democratic state: not an oppressed underclass, but a spoiled overclass, rioting in defense of its privileges and insisting on more subsidy, more benefits, more featherbedding, more government.

Correct.

HOW DID YOUR CONGRESSMAN vote on HR1 (the budget bill)? My congresscritter, Frank Wolf (VA-10) didn't do so well. He's going to hear from me and I'll be looking for a replacement in 2012.

DONALD RUMSFELD flummoxes MSNBC interviewer Andrea Mitchell. This is why I like Rumsfeld.

MORE: I saw Rumsfeld on O'Reilly last night. He had O'Reilly on the defensive as well. Here are three exerpts from the interview.

DEMOCRATS just don't understand the new populism.

IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL.

You are too dumb to make the proper decisions, so the medical community wants to make indoor tanning illegal for your minor children.

The American Medical Association doesn’t want you to know about your own DNA, since you're not competent to understand what it means.

Bull.

SMASHING the Democratic/media narrative.

VISION STATEMENTS for visionaries. My feelings exactly. "Vision statements" are bland, feel-good, vacuous mush of no use whatever.

A LOOK BACK: Public unions are giving thugs a bad name.

TRACKING THE PULSE of the Tea Party movement.

The 2012 election season is heating up. There are many potential Presidential candidates, and we will make the bold prediction that every single Republican will attempt to gain the support of the tea party movement. But which candidates do this powerful grassroots movement really support?

This poll gauges such support using a unique “run-off” matchup model. It is designed to elicit deeper preferences from voters and make it much more difficult for well-organized campaigns to “game” the system. The results reflects the percentage of times a candidate was preferred in a head-to-head “run-off” against other potential candidates. We also suspect they more accurately reflect the true pulse of the tea party movement than those cited by the mainstream media.

Take the straw poll.
