UH, GREENPEACE? Your hypocrisy is showing (again).

Greenpeace, based in the Netherlands, is objecting to expanding oil exports from British Columbia in Canada, while saying no such thing about oil traffic in and out of its back yard. The map below shows how much oil shipping activity there was on a recent day in both regions.

Greenpeace's motto: "We only protest in your back yard."

PRIVACY? You thought you had privacy?

POLICE SOURCE: Missouri police officer was badly beaten before shooting Michael Brown.

Wilson suffered a fractured eye socket in the fracas, and was left dazed by the initial confrontation, the source said. He is now "traumatized, scared for his life and his family, injured and terrified" that a grand jury, which began hearing evidence on Wednesday, will "make some kind of example out of him," the source said.

He should be terrified, now that Attorney General Eric Holder is on the case.

UPDATE: with the assistance of Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon.

THE HILL wants to know why Obama returned to the White House over the weekend. Michael Ramirez has the answer.

THE FINAL FRONTIER: universal space travel. The comments are particularly interesting; the conservative-liberal divide is wide, deep, and easy to spot.

RASMUSSEN'S Obama approval index has been showing a small, but steady decline over the last 12 months, with the trend seeming to accelerate since June.

Even his base, which has been consistently in the 25% range since late 2009, is showing signs of leaving the plantation. Usually when the 'strong approvals' line declines, the 'mixed reaction' line increases, leaving the 'strong disapprovals' line flat. It's not happening this time; the 'mixed reaction' line is also beginning to decrease.

Not a good omen, I should think....

CAN A LIBERAL learn to shoot? Well, yes, but ... do you want them to learn? Watch the video to see how many times the instructor has to correct for gun safety violations.

MEDIEVAL CRUELTY IN MODERN TIMES: ISIS Thugs Behead American Journalist. If this isn't enough to cause America to pound these jihadist terrorists into the rubble and then bounce the rubble, then God help us all.

Take note: Genghis Khan's Mongol horde is in our midst.

IS THE TEA PARTY DEAD? Not quite. It's alive, well, and maturing.

CALIFORNIA 'PROFESSOR': slavery and pregnancy drove me to accost a teen pro-life activist. To put it politely, bulls**t.

And the court agrees, though far too kindly. Tar & feathers would have been more appropriate.

SCIENCE NEWS: NASA bets on asteroid mission as best path to Mars. Personally I'd prefer orbital manufacturing and a moon colony, but I'll take what I can get.

WHICH STATES give you more for your money? No surprises. Washington, D.C., though not a state, is the worst.

PREPARING FOR the zombie apocalypse. It's been a while since I've been to the range, so I was pleasantly pleased with my latest effort last week.

I'm still not nearly as good as the other range regulars, but my trigger control is improving, and I've finally learned how to compensate for my cataract surgery.

IGNORANT LEFTIST: Southern culture killed NASCAR driver Kevin Ward.

And a beautiful takedown: Mike Huckabee observes that the ignorant leftist suffers from a recto-cranial impaction and should get 'out' more.

DOES IT TAKE MORE WATER to frack an oil well or keep Obama playing golf?
