OBAMA KEEPS MUM ON LIBYA. One can hope he’s truly working “behind the scenes” but past performance suggests that is a slim hope indeed.

FRACKING REPORT: "With hydrofracking [hdraulic fracturing, used to release natural gas from underground rock formations], a well can produce over a million gallons of waste-water that is often laced with highly corrosive salts, carcinogens like benzene and radioactive elements like radium, all of which can occur naturally thousands of feet underground."

I tend to agree with most of the commenters that this is an advocacy piece, not a news report. Read it and make up your own mind.

OH, MY. Walking down the hall at the office Friday, I passed one of the maintenance crew changing light bulbs in the hallways. On his cart, a cleanly broken flourescent bulb, and no HAZMAT cleanup team in sight ....

HARVARD WILL LET ROTC RETURN TO CAMPUS: [A] director of Naval ROTC at Harvard will be appointed, and the university will resume funding the program, which will be given office space and access to athletic fields and classrooms. [But] Harvard cadets will still train, as they have for years, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

I don't think this is a victory for the Navy. I hope the Army and Air Force have more sense.

ON THE FREEWAY, I saw a Prius with two bumper stickers: “Obama/Biden 08” and “Hope and Change are working out pretty good.”

I just hope the Prius owner doesn't expect me to fund the change he believes in.

LONGHORNS, 17, BADGERS, 1: New York Times editorial blowhard, er, columnist Paul Krugman disparages Texas’ educational performance. Iowahawk 'respectfully' disagrees:

To recap: white students in Texas perform better than white students in Wisconsin, black students in Texas perform better than black students in Wisconsin, Hispanic students in Texas perform better than Hispanic students in Wisconsin. In 18 separate ethnicity-controlled comparisons, the only one where Wisconsin students performed better than their peers in Texas was 4th grade science for Hispanic students (statistically insignificant), and this was reversed by 8th grade. Further, Texas students exceeded the national average for their ethnic cohort in all 18 comparisons; Wisconsinites were below the national average in 8, above average in 8.

More funding does not necessarily equate to better performance, but don’t expect a liberal to understand.

IT’S ALL ABOUT CONTROL (CONTINUING): To really save the planet, stop going green.

Translated into plain English: “You, common man, cannot be trusted to deal with Nature on your own. Instead you must demand that Government force you to accept the dictates of we “experts” who can be trusted to deal appropriately with the looming catastrophe that only we can see.” Got it?

ALL KINDS OF CRAZY: and Kos speech is different from hate speech or Tea Party speech how? They’re projecting again.

YA THINK? Alan Greenspan says too much government is preventing economic recovery.

Read the comments. Greenspan is catching a lot more criticism than I would have thought.

GOVERNMENT IS TOO BIG. We know how to get around the earmark ban.

Jim Moran is a Virginia congress(hypo)critter - not my district, unfortunately. It’s time for him to go.

CLOWN CITY: another profile in Congresscritter idiocy.

We already know that Sheila Jackson Lee thinks her constituents are dumb (many of them voted for Sheila Jackson Lee, so that’s tough to argue against), but she also ... accuses her staffers of being sub-stupid.

WHAT IS the ‘Obama doctrine’? If the Bush doctrine was preemptive war, then the Obama doctrine is preemptive surrender.

Frankly I prefer the Reagan doctrine - preemptive victory.

IF I CAN’T HAVE IT MY WAY, I’ll take your football and flee.

THE OBAMAS’ PERSONAL TRAINER flies to DC from Chicago weekly for fitness training.

And the Obamas are too damn cheap to buy indulgences carbon offsets; instead they exhort the rest of us to walk, bicycle, carpool, or take the Metro to offset their extravagance.

I repeat myself, but “it’s all about control.”

IT’S TIME TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH: Tea Partiers to clean-up mess left by union protesters in Wisconsisn.

Before too long you’ll be able to walk across the Pacific all the way from Al Gore’s seaside California mansion to Japan without getting wet by only stepping on global warming satellite and rocket wreckage.

Do you think maybe Nature is trying to tell the environmental movement something?
