RED STATE on the Obama Jobs Plan:

Barack Obama has largely proposed a plan key portions of which can pass with bipartisan support. And they will pass with bipartisan support. And there will be a grand bipartisan signing ceremony. Lots of pictures will be taken.

No jobs will actually be created. The recession will double dip. But Barack Obama will have gotten his bipartisan jobs plan. So he will not be able to blame the GOP. He’ll have to blame mother nature again.

Mother Nature has been a bit grouchy since Obama took office.

AN INTERESTING NUMBER: 397,239.6 ... that's the number of gallons of water that have fallen on our property in the last 4 days. More is expected.

SHOVEL READY: the Obama jobs program.

MARK STEYN: Pass this bill now.

IT MIGHT BE WORTH IT if pointy heads were included in the ban.

MAJORITY RULES? Well, no.

“YOU'RE LIKABLE ENOUGH, BARACK. ... But it’s time for someone new."

LEAN FORWARD -- and fall flat on your face.

OBAMA SPEAKS, MARKETS REACT:

DJIA, -303.68;
NASDAQ, -61.15;
S&P 500, -31.67

All down about 2-1/2%.

JOHN GALT'S ADVICE TO OBAMA: "Get out of the way."

DID RICK PERRY blow it on Social Security? Absolutely not. And neither did Herman Cain.

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN: Even an MSNBC talking head can (eventually) learn.

HEH: Luxury aircraft converted to manned spyplane.

DOMINIONISM EXPLAINED. Progressives will take it seriously.

A LIBERAL'S 4-LETTER WORD, beginning with the letter 'F', not to be used in polite company -- fact. Thanks to GDI for the comment.

A SIDE BENEFIT OF SMOKING: cigarette smoke is toxic to spiders. I was outside tonight having a cigarette when my smoke drifted by the ceiling fan where a small spider was lurking. As soon as the smoke passed, the spider began rappeling down as fast as his little web-spinner would let him -- then scurried off.

BANNED BOOKS WEEK is just hype. So if a 'professional librarian' has a budget to buy 1,000 books and 10,000 are offered for sale, haven't the 90% that weren't purchased been banned? It seems to me that 'book banning' is a just euphemism for questioning the 'expert's' judgment.

THIS IS A SURPRISE? Obama Now Meets the Colloquial Definition of Insanity.

NUDISTS: please tidy up.
