EDITORS COLLUDE with "Distinguished" Professors to silence the education reform debate.

GIVE HIM CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE:

Obama often says, "Under my administration, America is producing more oil today than at any time in the last eight years." That's true: It's also true that under Obama's administration, Snooki from "Jersey Shore" got pregnant and Charlie Sheen lost his job. And he can take about as much credit for those developments....

The latter two are his more important accomplishments.

CHANGE: the Obama transition from work to welfare. 'Going Galt' Obama style.

THE BENEFIT of top-down government planning. Live in a small apartment in an urban high rise and drive an electric bicycle to and from the nearest high-speed rail system.

DOWN ON SANTORUM from both ends of the conservative spectrum.

In my estimation, Suzanne Fields is too harsh in her judgment, though I do wish he would back off the social issues and focus on the immediate problems: the economy and foreign policy. Culture is important, but it's not the immediate issue as are the other two.

Rachel Alexander is on more firm grounds opposing Santorum as 'too liberal'. Again the reality doesn't, in my opinion, fully support the charges, but the charges are on economic policy, which is the single most important issue in this election.

FORENSIC ENGINEERING: I'll believe it when I see it on NCIS.

THERE IS ANOTHER REVOLUTION in the Mideast, presently underway, that centers on the all-important area of energy production, and it might be called "the Battle for Leviathan".

At issue is the recent discovery of huge untapped natural gas fields in the Levant Basin, the section of the eastern Mediterranean Sea that abuts Israel to the East, and Cyprus to the North.

The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that this underwater area holds 123 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas. In simpler terms: That's equal to 20 billion barrels of oil, more than twenty times what the United States maintains in its Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Through "exclusive economic zones" finalized under prevailing laws of the sea, Israel and Cyprus have laid internationally recognized claims to these fields, which analysts suggest could be worth $130 billion to the Israeli economy.

This is why in February, Benjamin Netanyahu became the first Israeli prime minister ever to visit Cyprus, and why the two nations have inked a number of unprecedented pacts with each other.

I recall first reading about the Leviathan natural gas fields a few years ago in a Tom Clancy-like techno-thriller. At the time, I thought it was fiction.

IF YOU WANT to be treated with respect by The New York Times and the rest of the multiculti establishment, make it clear you’re willing to kill them. It worked for the Islamist terrorists; we don't need to be that tough - a willingness to fight back is more than sufficient.

BUMMER: So It Turns Out that Obama’s Election Wasn’t the Moment that the Seas Stopped Rising.

MORNING EXAMINER: ObamaCare’s cost just doubled. Tell me something that does surprise me.

IN A SENSE, he's right: Biden tells $10K-a-couple fundraiser audience that GOP doesn’t know the middle class. For those of his, uh, status, $10K/couple donors probably are 'middle class'.
