SO WE NEED MORE GOVERNMENT? Public employees second only to financial pros in fraud.

RANDOM THOUGHTS on lawn care from the retirement lane.

If grass is supposed to grow there, it won't; if it isn't, it will.

Weeds grow faster than grass.

Lawn seed should be sold in packages labeled '99.7% grass-free' since only the 0.3% will grow.

Grass grows taller in places inaccessible to a lawn mower.

More thoughts are sure to come as the growing season continues.

LOOK! A SQUIRREL. Obama's views on distraction. The military typically code-names major campaigns (Operation Iraqi Freedom, etc.). The Obama administration should adopt that convention for themselves and code-name the 2012 presidential campaign 'Operation Shiny Object'.

A LESSON IN TOLERANCE…

I am truly perplexed that so many people are against a mosque being built at Ground Zero. I think it should be the goal of every American to be tolerant. Thus the Mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.

That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, "The Turban Cowboy", which would be gay, and the other a topless bar called "You Mecca Me Hot."

Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called " Iraq o' Ribs." Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret," with sexy mannequins with short burkas in the window modeling the goods. Next door to the lingerie shop, a liquor store called "Morehammered."

All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem would be solved.

From my email.

MAYBE OBAMA’S too smart and sensitive to be a good president. Whatever works to get rid of him.

SO MUCH for 'smart diplomacy'.

DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGN MESSAGING:

D'Oh! The DNC and Obama campaign have their logos in sync....

UPDATE: here's another possibility.

WASHINGTON POST OMBUDSMAN gives up any pretense of credibility.

JEFF JACOBY on Obama's gay marriage evolution:

[I]t's hard to swallow the notion of Obama as a paragon of candor, genuinely conflicted on the question of same-sex marriage. The point is that he could have been -- and nothing would have changed. Obama may be a dissembler whose "evolution" was all for show, but millions of Americans really have wrestled with the question of redefining marriage. As those shifting opinion polls attest, many people who once opposed gay marriage now support it. And as the unbroken string of ballot-box victories for preserving the marriage status quo attests, many do not.

Read it all.
