JUAN WILLIAMS on the 50 years since Martin Luther King's speech. I agree with almost everything Williams writes, except for this:

But make no mistake, if you are born poor and black in America in 2013 you still face a very tough road.

Strike out 'and black' and I would agree with every word.

WOULD YOU let a robot draw your blood? Probably, as my arm is still swollen, sore, and the bruise has only now gone down to the size of a quarter from the time I had blood drawn last week.

SOME LIBERALS are very, very afraid of Ted Cruz.

SLATE MAGAZINE has declared that it can no longer refer to the Washington Redskins by their name. Neal Boortz (and others) have renaming suggestions.

I'm personally sympathetic to the commenter who wrote "I get the /snarc on this post, but how sad that the actual Washington Redskins NFL organization, team and players have nothing to do with this cuz it's all about the blind PC idiot panderers whose lives are so miserable that they waste them further trying to make everyone else's just as miserable."

But then ... I do really, really like this new name: "The Washington, Maryland, Northern Virginia Area Football Group of Inclusion, Diversity, Tolerance and Government Assistance."

PREDATOR DRONE makes first arrest in U.S. Hellfire missiles are frowned on domestically....

GOING FERAL! Or “So long, and thanks for all the fish...” A tenured professor leaves academia to venture outside the ivied halls. More here.

TEN SHOCKING LESSONS a huge Texas conglomerate has foisted on public school students. One would think that given the scope of the bias revealed, CSCOPE would be deader than the proverbial doornail, but like the hydra and ACORN, it keeps coming back.

What I find disturbing is not the biased curriculum (though that's disturbing enough), it's the fact that CSCOPE is a non-transparent, privately funded 501(c)3 nonprofit (shades of liberal complaints about Tea Party groups!) operating within the state-funded Regional Educational Service Centers.

MIT PROFESSOR: global warming is a ‘religion’. It takes an MIT professor to recognize the abundantly obvious?

FIFTEEN THINGS you need to know about the oceans:

1) - This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles.(Kelly, age 6)

2) - Oysters' balls are called pearls. (Jerry, age 6)

3) - If you are surrounded by ocean, you are an island. If you don't have ocean all round you, you are incontinent. (Mike , age 7)

4) - Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson . She's not my friend any more. (Kylie, age 6)

5) - A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head. (Billy, age 8)

6) - My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and a woman and pots and comes back with crabs. (Millie, age 6)

7) - When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans. (William, age 7)

8) - Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids. They are beautiful and I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant? Like, really? (Helen, age 6)

9) - I'm not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother is always crying, my Dad keeps yelling at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy, age 6)

10) - Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves in to chargers. (Christopher, age 7)

11) - When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small. (Kevin, age 6)

12) - Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Divers can't go down alone, so they have to go down on each other. (Becky, age 8)

13) - On vacation my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water fired right up her big fat ass. (Julie, age 7)

14) - The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don't drown I don't know. (Bobby, age 6)

15) - My dad was a sailor on the ocean. He knows all about the ocean. What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom. (James, age 7)

If you didn't smile at one of these, you need to find a better sense of humor.

BILL CLINTON: Voting should be as easy as buying an 'assault weapon'. I agree; buying an 'assault weapon' requires in-person registration; filing a 'true-and-correct' document under risk of perjury; two (in Virginia) photo ID's; and a criminal background check. Plus a significant amount of money.

Yes, voting should be that easy.

HIGH DEDUCTIBLE PLANS creating health care [cost] slowdown. Which explains why they're being banned under ObamaCare.

CAN AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE get into the University of Tokyo? Probably not, but Harvard or Yale should be easy....

On the other hand, if the AI had to attend classes at either university, it would probably be a smoking ruin within hours of attending its first class.
