ROMNEY CAMPAIGN ON the Obama administration' response tot the Mideast crisis: "This is amateur hour — it’s amateur hour."

FREE SPEECH: It's "good to know that ideas of American freedom are alive and well at the University of Pennsylvania."

FIGHT BACK! Media Slime-mongers Sued. It's about time to use the Left's weapons against them.

IT’S OFFICIAL — NYC Board of Health Bans Large Sugary Drinks.

Obesity and diabetes are epidemics that are costing the city a fortune. Perhaps a solution which forces those who continually make poor decisions regarding their health to pay for some of consequences of their actions would be preferable to one that punishes the entire population.

The 'progressive' solution is to always punish the innocent.

TAX THE RICH: a 'hate tax' on the successful?

THOMAS SOWELL: God and Jerusalem.

MITT ROMNEY hates naked people.

SCOTT RASMUSSEN: Let Individuals, Not Politicians, Make Health Care Decisions.

For seniors on Medicare, too.

JAY CARNEY: Attacks are reaction to film, not US policy, and were not pre-planned. Bull. That was a carefully planned terrorist strike, as is becoming more and more evident every day, and the film was just lucky happenstance.

FORE FOUR MORE YEARS: "All that's needed is a few more bailouts, Solyndra deals, another dose of crony capitalism in general, and more stimulus packages that somehow never stimulate ... and no matter what numbers result, this president can cite them selectively enough to show that the economy is making great strides. Even if it's still stumbling. Or even falling backwards. He's very good at talking about jobs. Much better than he is at creating them."

WHY DO SWEDES IN AMERICA earn far more than Swedes in Sweden? Um, because in Sweden "at a certain point you've made enough money"?

STRATOLAUNCH CARRIER AIRCRAFT passes preliminary design review.

I WISH....

During a recent Romney campaign stop, a heckler from the audience hollered, "Hey Mitt Witt, where are you hiding your tax returns?

Governor Romney politely responded, "I've found a very secure place that I'm certain they won't be found." The insistent heckler, then shouted, "And just where is that, dummy"?

Governor Romney smiled and said, "They are underneath Obama's college records, his immigration status as a student, and his funding sources to pay for college. What's your next question?"

From my email.

MAKING THE RICH RICHER: Fed announces new mortgage bond-buying plan, keeps interest rates low. The stock market took a nice bounce yesterday, and it's still looking good today. Thanks, Obama administration.

COMMUNICATIONS MILESTONE: Telstar Celebrates 50 Years (scroll to page 7). In July 1962 I had graduated from high school and was preparing for my freshman year at New Mexico State University. Little did I know then that just over six months later I would be flying to Europe to join a mobile satellite tracking van that started in Germany, went to Spain, then Greece, and ended up in Okinawa.

ON THE RADIO, some (increasingly rare) common sense. Washington D.C. has been struggling for some years trying to come up with an evacuation plan for the city. Finally the transportation committee (or whatever it is it's called) came up with an evacuation plan: don't.

What a breath of fresh air. Finally some government agency finally figured out that sometimes the best thing to do is nothing. Federal government, take note.

SO MOVE THE DAMN SPIDER. Rare spider found in Texas shuts down $15M construction project.

PROFILE IN CLASSICS: We in the West forget the wisdom of the ancient past at our own peril.

SURE, the media is unbiased.

SPACE POLITICS:

The opening session of the AIAA Space 2012 conference in Pasadena, California, on Tuesday was originally billed to include a “presidential candidates forum” on space issues, featuring representatives of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney campaigns. However, no forum took place during that opening session, since AIAA could not get commitments from the two campaigns to take part.

Nothing. Pity.
