OBAMA’S WAY is not the highway: “President Obama wants to rename the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) the ‘Transportation Trust Fund(TTF) and establish two new accounts within it for high-speed passenger rail and a national infrastructure bank.”

Dammit, it’s a highway trust fund, not a holding fund for Obama’s wet dreams.

ASSERTING THE NONEXISTENT: Washington Times columnist Emmett Tyrrell on President Obama's invocation of the 'international community toward collective action' in Libya:
The world community is nonexistent. The world of nations and peoples shares no values, certainly no values that are difficult to enforce. Writing in the late 1940s, Max Ascoli, founder of the Reporter magazine and a leading liberal writer of the time, cautioned against mounting a policy based on an international longing for shared values. He claimed there were no world values, and there certainly was no world conscience. Rather, there are many cultures. Some are enlightened and humane. Others are primitive. Our president disdains American exceptionalism in pursuit of values and consciences that do not exist.
Imagining world peace doesn't require any effort; achieving it does.
HUH? LISA could prove early universe had fewer dimensions.
AN ALICE IN WONDERLAND FOREIGN POLICY? Unfortunately, it isn’t even that coherent.
GOP LAUNCHES mock Obama 2012 ad.

I'd call it a real ad.

EDUCATION REFORM - ignored.
"Responsibility begins not in our classrooms, but it begins in our homes,” said President Obama during a speech last week. “It begins with parents. … But that’s not where the responsibility ends. All of us have a responsibility, not just as parents, but as citizens, for giving our kids the best possible education.”
What the President left unsaid is that parental responsibility extends only so far as doing what he and the progressive obligarchy declare to be right and proper.

Read the the full article - and weep for America.

NO SH*T, SHERLOCK: “We believe AARP operates in direct opposition to their senior membership.”

MORE: Republican-authored AARP tax exemption report alleges "that the AARP violated its tax exempt status by, in effect, selling health insurance policies and by actively lobbying for the massive health care law at Center of Contentious Capitol Hill Hearing...."

ARE THERE ANY FREE-RANGE KIDS LEFT? Not if the progressives have anything to do with it. Free range is for cattle and chickens.
HEH. DEMOCRATS not celebrating health care milestone. I wonder why ... surely not because it’s highly unpopular.
CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN: gasoline prices have doubled since Obama took office.
ON TAXES AND DEMOCRATS: "When you're a parasite, every problem has the same solution. More blood from the host!" Quoted from Instapundit.
A NO-FLY ZONE IS PRETTY EASY when the opponent has no aircraft.
DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE JIM McDERMOTT says he’s tired of reading the Constitution. It must be too constraining for Democrats.
AH, BUT THEY’RE PRETTY - as you drive past.
JEEZ, and we pay the bills for these clowns. What we ought to do is give them clown suits and charge admission.
POST-PRESIDENTIAL BECLOWNMENT: "And we probably have decades of similar stuff to look forward to once Barack Obama is an ex-president."
SEARCHING FOR LIFE ON MARS: swarming robots.
JEFF JACOBY: This time, don’t betray the rebels. I hope Obama has the spine to see the “kinetic military action” through, but I have no confidence he will. The man can’t say the word “war”, much less manage one.
OH, THE IRONY:
“Wind farms don’t just despoil countryside, frighten horses, chop up birds, spontaneously combust, drive down property prices, madden those who live nearby with their subsonic humming, drive up electricity prices, promote rent-seeking, make rich landowners richer (and everyone else poorer), ruin views, buy more electric sports cars for that dreadful Dale Vince character, require rare earth minerals which cause enormous environmental damage, destroy 3.7 real jobs for every fake ‘green’ job they ‘create’, blight neighbourhoods, kill off tourism and ruin lives, but they also…KILL WHALES!”
Now the environmental activists have whale blubber on their hands. Read it all and follow the links.

ADDED THOUGHT: the rest is just the proles whining, but killing whales? That's an (im)mortal sin!

A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR not raising taxes? Maybe, but with the lack of specifics, I’d recommend the Reagan admonition: trust, but verify.
DON'T TELL AL GORE: Methane Rain Detected On Titan.
IT WAS BEEN RAINING in Washington all day yesterday, and it’s obvious that not even the squirrels like the rain - I found some half-eaten acorns on the chairs under our covered front porch this morning.
I LIKE Operation Enduring Narcissism. Operation Aimless Fury isn’t bad, either.
