REPUBLICANS SHOULD TAKE A PLAY FROM THE OBAMA PLAYBOOK -- vote "present" on raising the debt ceiling.
Clever.
Clever.
SOME OBSERVATIONS on "Carmageddon."
These are lessons for politicians, both liberal and conservative, and if they are not learned soon, I'm looking forward to a political "karmageddon" in November 2012.
There are several broader lessons from this. First, why don’t people in LA change their behavior to get this result all of the time? Simple: the ordinary range of congestion is not intolerable, despite what people say. (This is what economists call “revealed preference.”) In other words, LA probably has on average the optimal amount of congestion. Second, it means all the dreams and schemes of planners and do-good social engineer/interveners are irrelevant, when they aren’t counterproductive (which is most of the time). Third, humans aren’t as stupid as our elite minders like to think.The lessons to be (not) learned (yet again) are that (1) it's never as bad as the doomsayers would like us to believe; (2) all the schemes of do-good social engineers are irrelevant (counterproductive is more like it); and (3) humans aren't as stupid as our elite minders would like us to believe.

ATC RECORDINGS show that Southwest Airlines pilot reacted immediately after fuselage ruptured in mid-flight.
As he should have. I've pointed out at least twice before that aircraft safety is the pilot's responsibility. Aircraft controllers are there to aid and assist, not control.

PROJECT GUNRUNNER: paid for with your stimulus dollars.
Not only do they want to steal your money and restrict your Second Amendment freedoms, they're willing to let you die. Disgusting.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BENEFITS. So apparently the Democrats' plan for deficit reduction is to make doctors work for free and indenture our children for life. Makes perfect sense ....
WELL, THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WITH CAPABILITY: Russia to send 2014 Sochi Olympic torch to space for longest relay.
FROM THE EMAIL: Bear tragedy in Montana.
Everyone should heed the warnings not to feed wildlife because they become dependent and don't forage for themselves any longer. The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect U.S. wildlife.
Animals that formerly were self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Democrat Party. They have apparently learned to just sit and wait for the government to step in and provide for their care and sustenance. This photo is of a black bear in Montana turned Democrat. He's nicknamed Bearack Acorn Obearma.
It is believed that he has become a campground organizer.

WALTER WILLIAMS: Gross Media Ignorance. I would only add that "media ignorance" is a tautology. Read the whole article.
