REPEAL THE ‘NATURAL BORN’ CITIZEN CLAUSE? While I don’t really shy away from the idea, I can’t help but think a fairer interpretation of Meacham's argument is something on the order of “we can’t let a mere Constitution interfere with our obligation to do what we believe is right to for the American people.”

CENTRAL PARK IN NYC is about 900 acres. Use it and see how many penthouses it can light.

SEN. FRANK LAUTENBERG (D-NJ) let’s his tinfoil hat slip awry. Arrogance unbounded.

X-51 WAVERIDER makes historic hypersonic flight.

SAY WHAT? first we demonstrate it works, then we cancel it.

THE GODDESS lives on—“notably in the syllabi of numerous women’s studies courses and feminist-inflected courses in other parts of the curriculum.“

WELL, ISN’T THE U.S. already a wholly-owned subsidiary of Obama Inc.?

BIG-TIME CAN CRUSHING: This should be good news for Space-X and the other companies vying to develop commercial heavy-lift vehicles. I doubt that it will significantly affect manned spacecraft design, though.

SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER: “[I]f anyone had spoken like this to the princeling earlier in his life, he very likely never would have become president. Instead, Obama has been coddled and cosseted throughout his glide-path trajectory — maverick Democrat Mickey Kaus just called him “the biggest affirmative action baby in history,” and said he was a lousy politician to boot.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF GANGSTER GOVERNMENT: taxes are for the little people.

THE PRESIDENT’S NEW ECONOMIC STRATEGY “guarantees two more years of fiscal stalemate and poisons the well on the most important economic policy question facing American policymakers: how to permanently solve the long-term fiscal problem caused by the unsustainable growth of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.”

IF IT WEREN’T FOR FALSE CHOICES, Obama would have no choices at all.

"Using innovative receptor technologies and one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, the SKA will probe the origins of the universe. However the spin off technologies will have applications closer to home such as mega-data management, very low-power Radio Frequency devices, and 'system of systems' control software."

I suspect the ‘close-to-home’ applications will be far more significant than currently imagined.

YES, CALL US 'PETS' because 'slaves' is a bit too ... harsh. Read the comments, too.

UNITED NATIONS document would give ‘Mother Earth’ the same rights as humans. And if the Japanese earthquake means anything, this is akin to fleas giving a dog “flea rights.”

OBAMA'S SOLUTION TO THE DEFICIT: ObamaCare, tax hikes spending reductions in the tax code, and spending.
