GUN DEALERS sue over California law barring window displays. Not of the weapons themselves, but over pictures of weapons!

SIDELINED IN CONGRESS, liberal groups send Obama 'to-do' lists. Actually, they are 'to lose' lists....

I particularly love this statement: “Americans need to see a debate with Republicans in order to see what Democrats stand for.” Yes, and every time progressives find they can't win the debate, progressives whine, cry "unfair!", and promptly turn to extralegal means to accomplish their goals.

WISE: Commercial Spaceflight Industry Does Not Want More Regulations.

OBAMA: "We got beat." But never mind that; I still have my pen to sign executive orders.

EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY makes final preparations to land spacecraft on a comet.

The launch of a small lander from ESA’s Rosetta space probe marks one of the key moments in the decade-long mission to examine comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

ESA scientists said Friday that a series of orbital manoeuvrs and calculations for the touchdown will take place over the coming days before the lander, dubbed Philae, is released at 0835 GMT (3:35 a.m. EST) Wednesday.

If all goes according to plan, the 100-kilogram (220-pound) lander will latch onto the comet’s icy surface seven hours later.

Tomorrow, about 10:30 a.m. Eastern time.

Don't just threaten to punch back; do it.
