THEY WOULD CERTAINLY DESERVE EACH OTHER: Is New York City ready for Mayor Alec Baldwin?

APES WITH APPS. Read it, then read it again, substituting 'progressive' for 'bonobo'. Is there any discernable difference?

I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING FOR SUNDAY BRUNCH: Restaurant Faces Investigation For Offering Church Discount.

What truly angers me about this story is that the discrimination charge was filed by a 'retired electrical engineer' who was annoyed by the discount. First, because this twerp is an embarrassment to my chosen profession, and second, because he seems to think he has a right to not be annoyed.

Can I sue him because his mere existence (now that I know about it) annoys hell out of me? If he has a right not to be annoyed, then so do I.

INSTAPUNDIT: "Let me be clear: All you people who were playing the have-you-no-decency card under Bush, but who aren’t screaming just as loud now — which is pretty much all of you people who were playing the have-you-no-decency card under Bush — were and are miserable lying hacks. And I thank Obama for making that perfectly clear, at least."

When you've lost Instapundit, ... you've lost.

DREAMS FROM MY FATHER was just that - dreams.

MATT BARBER: The Awakened Giant Likes Tea.

PAUL GREENBERG: "What we have here is not just a failed immigration system but a failure of national leadership. A failure of political competence. And a lack of courage."

A decent analysis, but the problem with Mr. Greenberg's conclusion is that the word 'comprehensive' does not mean all at once. It means to have a plan, start somewhere, and then finish the job. Houses are not built 'comprehensively'; they start with a foundation and end with the decorator details.

WELCOME TO BIZARRO WORLD: 'Free Stuff' now includes cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, and travel on cruise ships.

THE RAPIDLY DWINDLING CITY OF NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y., has found a new way to attract people ... by helping recent college graduates pay off their student loans. Let's just hope none of them are Harvard grads in 'victim studies' or law.

I'VE HEARD of safe sex, but safe farting?

THE QUICKER TO COLLIDE WITH SOMETHING: Supersonic Mini-Drone Being Built for Military and Civilian Use.

SOME LOCAL NEWS: President of the Muslim Association of Virginia and a leader at the Dar AlNoor Islamic Community Center found dead in Occoquan River.

That night we were eating dinner on the terrace at Madigan's on the Occoquan, watching the police search and rescue boat searching the river under the bridge. At the time, we didn't know what was happening; only when we left to find our car parked inside a police quarantine zone did we find out that it was a recovery mission.

Interestingly, the Dar AlNoor Islamic Community Center is less than 1/4 mile from the elementary school where my wife teaches.

HEH: EU's Emissions Trading Scheme Could Cancel A330 Production Hike. No airplanes, no climate change. Good idea....

HOW TO repeal ObamaCare on 'day zero'. But Republicans have to take both houses of Congress to do it.

WILL MORE DOCTORS ‘GO GALT’ BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE? I did, but then I'm only a lowly Ph.D.

HOW 'PAYGO' really should work.

U.S. ADDS FORCES IN PERSIAN GULF to deter the Iranian military from any possible attempt to shut the Strait of Hormuz.

MORE: Iran declared Wednesday that it can destroy nearby U.S. military bases and strike Israel within minutes of an attack on the Islamic Republic.

I would suggest that the U.S. respond by simply mooring an old barge painted with a target on its top a few miles offshore from Iran and then firing a single unarmed ICBM at it from U.S. soil. At that point, a simple note stating that 'we know where you are' should suffice.

HEH: Corporate greed is all the liberals' fault.

WHAT'S BEHIND THE RECORD HEAT? A 'Rocky Mountain High' (pun intended).

NAH. He'd never settle for mere nobility.
