YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO BE EMPLOYED if your state has a Republican Governor.

WHY I GET UP AT 5:30 AM:

OBAMA: Most people would “acknowledge that I’ve tried real hard.” His golf score hasn't improved either.

HYPHENS CAN'T GOVERN … in the national interest.

THE BEGINNING OF COMMON SENSE: Health Contract with America. Add to that tort reform, the ability to purchase insurance across state lines, an end to mandates for minimum coverage, the ability to purchase insurance through associations, and you've got a pretty good package of useful reforms.

THE REPUBLICANS' WEEKLY ADDRESS TO THE NATION.

THE W100, or why I like George W. Bush.

BUT WE ALL KNEW THAT ... DIDN'T WE? The tax man cometh to police you on health care.

JUST IN CASE you don't like Mitt Romney:

[For those] who may ... hesitate [to support Romney], keep four things in mind:

1. Justice Scalia just turned 76.
2. Justice Kennedy will be 76 later this month.
3. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August.
4. Justice Ginsburg turned 80 last March.

Whomever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come. If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, you're not of this world.

So for any you who may be thinking of not voting because your favorite didn’t get nominated -- or writing in a candidate who can't win -- just imagine this possibility: 'Supreme Court Justice Eric Holder'.

WHAT A SURPRISE: Study shows Palin treated differently by media as vice presidential candidate than Biden. Another glaring case of obvious discovered by 'experts'.

CONGRESSMAN JESSE JACKSON, JR.’S ailments ‘more serious’ than first believed. I thought insanity was only an ailment for non-Democrats.

CHRIS MUIR may be a bit harsh on Chief Justice Roberts (time will tell) but he certainly captured the essence of ObamaCare writ large.

OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY: Donors Pledge $16B in Afghan Aid. It's easy to give away money that doesn't belong to you....
