LARGE TECHNOLOGY, LARGE GOVERNMENT. Small technology, larger government?

COMPELLED SECULARISM? Yes, let's tax religious affiliation.

WHO NEEDS AMBASSADORS? Or a State Department for that matter, if they keep telling you things you don't want to hear?

HARRY REID'S complaining that Republicans have advanced his own bill in order to "stall" the Senate....

The Senate ain't Burger King, Harry. You don't always get it your way.

CATCH-22: Russian space training may put U.S. in a diplomatic bind:

As the International Space Station gets ready for a routine change of crew using Russia’s Soyuz spaceships, the Russian government seems to be initiating a subtle gambit to force the United States into a diplomatic trap over the status of Russian-occupied Crimea.

Here’s how it works: Either the United States acknowledges the legitimacy of the recent Russian annexation of that Ukrainian province, or it will be forced by existing agreements to disqualify NASA astronauts from flying aboard Russia’s spaceships, which currently provide the only means to get astronauts to and from the space station.

All the more reason to develop an American orbital capability; otherwise the "International" Space Station hijacking by the Russians will be complete.

JEFF JACOBY: Here's drinking to your health. Jacoby raises a good question: if Cheerios can advertise the 'heart-healthy' benefits of oats, why can't alcohol advertisers promote the health benefits of moderate drinking?

TO UNDERSTAND the 'climate change' hysteria on the Left, you need only to follow the money.

MORE OBAMACARE MISERY: Cheaper drugs can also mean less choice without savings for patients. The author blames the pharmaceutical industry; I blame crony capitalism.

UPDATE: case in point. Read to the bottom of the post.

GETTING IT IN THE 'WATER' MIGHT BE A CHORE: NASA takes to the depths of outer space with plans to send submarine to Saturn moon.

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP:

School bans 'offensive' Chick-fil-A sandwiches.

Football team forced to remove Christian crosses from their football helmets.

Army dad denied entry to child's school because he was in uniform.

Vermont bans brownies from school snacks.

We don't send our children to public schools any more; we send them to indoctrination centers.

OBAMA: Just because we're going to go out and kill people doesn't mean we're at war. The poor bast... guy is utterly blinded by political correctness.

FIVE THINGS that could (and probably will) go horribly wrong with Obama's action in Iraq.

Simply put, Obama isn't competent enough to manage his way out of a wet paper bag.

YOUR REMINDER that the health nannies can't be trusted.

This post-WWII food group almost got it right ....

But they missed coffee and booze.

ROSETTA SPACECRAFT captures breathtaking comet views.

OBAMA TO LATINOS: I'm not that into you.

At the end of the day, President Obama sees Hispanics as raw numbers: new voters who he thinks will give his party future victories. But to make sure all those potential votes support big government, he must make sure that he adds to their numbers without improving their lot.

People who are independent of government largesse don't vote for Democrats.
