TIME-LAPSE PHOTOGRAPHY of the Earth at night from the International Space Station. And space tourism won't sell?

AFROLANTICA LEGACIES: a not-so pretty primer on Critical Race Theory.

SOAK THE RICH! Be sure to check out the David Burge [Iowahawk] and Mary Katharine Ham [HammerTime] links.

NOT TO WORRY: Obama's ObesityControl program will take care of the problem.

INSPIRING: Paralyzed woman finishes London marathon in bionic suit. See the look on her face after crossing the finish line.

WILL THE COUNTRY go John Galt? Some of us already have.

SOCIALISM ISN'T THE ANSWER; higher taxes is. Note that nowhere in the article is there any thought given to reducing government spending, reducing government regulation, or kicking nanny out of the Nanny state.

RANDOM THOUGHTS from the retirement lane. How about a 'no loophole' amendment to the U.S. Constitution? Every law applies to every person in America. No loopholes, no exemptions, no breaks for class, race, religion, gender, size or other disparity du jour.

DAVID FRUM: Why I Am Not A Deficit Hawk. Higher taxes will solve the immediate problem, and then we address the structural reforms that caused deficit in the first place.

Frum's approach sounds decent, except that it smacks directly of the Reagan years and illegal immigration: Reagan agreed to amnesty then in return for closing the border later. He got amnesty then and still-open borders today. Frum wants higher taxes now in return for structural reforms (that will reduce the need for taxes) later.

This time, there will be no 'fool me twice'.

SAVING THE CHILDREN: Massachusetts Outlaws School Bake Sales.

REMEMBER WHEN they found a bomb in a terrorist's shoes, and we all had to take off our shoes when going through the airport security checks?

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF WISCONSIN canceled its post-primary “Unity Rally” for tonight and Daily Kos reports it is because the front runner in the primary, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, “does not want to be seen in the company of union leaders and union members.”

Buh-bye Democrats -- try again in a few years.

THE EUROPEAN UNION: Higher taxes, more spending now; spending cuts later. Watch the European Union do a swan dive off a high cliff.

IF SHE JOINS THE SQUAD, I might start watching more football.
