SUNDAY WAS 'EARTH DAY'. In our nation's capitol, less than 1% of the anticipated crowd showed up to celebrate. The Washington Post tried very hard not to notice.
Andrew Klavan noticed and had some thoughts: "So screw Earth Day. I would like to declare today — and every day — the Mind of Man Day. Celebrate that — nurture that — glorify that — and the earth, believe me, will take care of itself." Read it all.

I GUESS I'll have to die a bit sooner than expected: Social Security is slipping closer to insolvency. Medicare, too, in case you haven't noticed....
SELF-DEFEATING: If the Supreme Court upholds Arizona's immigration law, which is consistent with federal immigration law, the Democrats will introduce legislation requiring federal approval of state immigration laws that are already consistent with federal law. Huh?

OBAMA FACES DEFEAT on Keystone Pipeline as Congressional Democrats begin to defect. No matter what Obama does, he loses.
BUT OF COURSE: Are Republicans more open-minded, better informed than Democrats? Some amusing statistics:
Liberals are more likely to block, unfriend or hide someone on social networks because they disagree with their politics.And ... customers at Cracker Barrel, Chik-fil-A and Bob Evans are more likely to vote.
Liberals are more willing to change their views to make their team look good.
Liberals outnumber conservatives at online dating, job-search (heh), and video game sites.
Liberals are less likely to eat at Cracker Barrel, Chik-fil-A, Panera, and Bob Evans restaurants.
