SETTLED SCIENCE.

ROGER KIMBALL on President (*).

(*) the worst President in U.S. history.

THE GROWING financial disaster that is ObamaCare:

The largely unwritten ... story ... is that the ACA is rapidly becoming a colossal fiscal disaster as enrollment proceeds heedless of the concurrent collapse of the law’s financing structure.

Do tell. But not to worry, per Obama the government isn't running out of other people's money; it's printing its own.

ONLY 'BLIND LUCK' has prevented worse disasters as push begins for a $250 million telescope to spot asteroids on collision course with Earth.

What the health and safety nannies out there fail to understand is that even with a 7-plus billion world population there's a whole lot of empty on Earth.

OBAMACARE: when lying doesn't work, cheat.

YOU JUST THOUGHT YOUR RECORDS WERE PRIVATE: Scientists embark on unprecedented effort to connect millions of patient medical records.

This is only the beginning....

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS are down, largely thanks to ... fracking.

And a crappy economy worldwide.

INSTAPUNDIT: "The world has been taken over by chuckleheads."

Best comment: "I think it's time to take The Onion offline - the real world is stealing its material."

COLORADO EMINENT DOMAIN CASE settled with $115,000 sale.

A contentious eminent domain case in which a local government sought to take private backcountry land for open space has been settled, with the landowners agreeing to a $115,000 sale.

"To me, what just came out of it is, you can't win, you can't fight the government," landowner Ceil Barrie said Wednesday.

Asked what lessons they shared, Ceil Barrie said with teary eyes, "Yeah, don't annoy the government."

Pity. I was hoping they'd sue.

SURE YOU CAN 'KEEP YOUR DOCTOR' -- if you can find one.

SEARCH & RESCUE DRONES grounded by FAA.

Because government doesn't want the public to know it can be done without. It can't control you if you don't need its help.

SPRING LEAVES, Week Six: today's view. It's bright and sunny, and the white oaks are all beginning to bud out. The beech trees, oddly enough, are behind again. They're showing signs of activity, but no leaves yet.

Last week's picture is here.

THE EDUCATION BUBBLE IS POPPING: Mid-Continent University, a private institution in Kentucky, will close.

SHORTEST -- AND BEST -- graduation speech ever.

THE EPIC HYPOCRISY of Tom Steyer. More here.

I wish I could say I'm surprised, but hypocrisy is a synonym for progressivism. It's always about control; they just can't admit it.

THE EASTER DRAGON ARRIVED.

GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE brings big data to environmental activism.

I'd consider it good news if Google watched environmental activists....

FROM MY EMAIL: Obama is my co-pilot.

Oops!

INSTAPUNDIT: Maybe we should have just delayed Obama's entire presidency until after he left office. Perhaps the mid-term elections can do just that for the rest of his term....

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Run, Bucky, run.
