ON JACKIE ROBINSON DAY, let’s remember when he was fired from the New York Post for being too Republican. In response to his firing (1960), Robinson wrote this:

No one will ever convince me that the Post acted in an honest manner. I believe the simple truth is that they became somewhat alarmed when they realized that I really meant to write what I believed. There is a peculiar parallel between some of our great Northern "liberals" and some of our outstanding Southern liberals.

Some of the people in both classes share the deep-seated convictions that only their convictions can possibly be the right ones. They both inevitably say the same thing: "We know the Negro and what is best for him."

He was right then, and still right today.

'BIG BLUE' is killing upstate New York. I'd be more than happy to let the 'big blue' cities destroy themselves, except for the fact that they could take the rest of us with them.

JACK DUNPHY: Why I’m Not Convinced Michael Slager Is a Cold-Blooded Killer. "Unlike many people you have heard opine on the Walter Scott shooting, I have been in Slager’s shoes."

HAH! A juxtaposition worthy of Drudge.

GUN-GRABBERS fail at attempt to stop Wal-Mart from selling firearms.

They should have let the proposal go to the shareholders for a vote -- it would have been shot down in flames (pun intended) instantly. I vote in stockholder elections all the time and I've never seen one of these silly shareholder proposals go anywhere beyond the shareholder's individual ego.

FROM PRO TO CON: from now on, it's Nerf football time.

STOP WORRYING, your electric car will have plenty of range. Unless you want to go that 'one more mile'. Or don't care about resale value of an automobile with a dying (and expensive)battery.

EVERYDAY IOWAN gets to see Hillary. (Hillarious - pun intended)

EXPERIMENTS TO SHOW if robocar technology will make us too lazy to drive safely. Of course it will, just as seat belts and air bags have increased the frequency, if not the severity, of accidents.

JEFF JACOBY: The Armenian genocide was also a jihad.

A history lesson. And those who fail to heed it (President Obama, you are warned) will be condemned to repeat it.

WELL, MAYBE: Crowdsourcing smartphone GPS could improve earthquake warnings.

GOOD LORD, there's even a federal definition of 'healthy' food.

Another federal agency that desperately needs to have its budget slashed.

NEW HORIZONS sends back its first color image of Pluto and Charon. Still tiny, but getting bigger (at 31,000 mph) by the day.

TED CRUZ:

I don't think it's any coincidence that the month of April begins with April Fools Day, and then two weeks later Tax Day comes.

April Fools Day is the day we all try to fool each other. And Tax Day is the day the government tries to fool all of us into thinking we're getting a good bang for our buck.

From a campaign email (of course).

EVERYDAY IOWAN gets to see Hillary. (Hillarious - pun intended)

IT'S TAX DAY!



Enjoy....

HILLARY CLINTON represents everything Democrats say they oppose. Well, yes, but only because they oppose it for everyone else, not themselves.

SEATTLE BOSS raises entire company's minimum wage to $70,000. I wish him well, but if I worked there, I'd be starting my job search for new employment....

UNANIMOUS: Senate panel passes Iran bill giving Congress a say on nuclear deal. President Obama, bowing to political pressure, agreed to sign legislation giving Congress the right to reject any nuclear agreement with Iran caves.

THE VOLOKH CONSPIRACY: How the IRS repeatedly rewrites ObamaCare tax credit provisions.

Yes, why bother with Congress and the 'will of the people' and all that other crazy stuff when all you need is a pencil?
