YOU DIDN'T EARN THAT: Obama calls successful Americans society's lottery winners.

Yeah, that'll win the hearts and minds of those of us who have worked 50-60 hours a week for 40+ years to achieve our successes.

There’s a lot more [progressive] code language in the [video] clip from the Georgetown “poverty summit”.... Obama lamented successful Americans “divesting” from “the commons” by sending their children to private school or working out in private clubs. He claims these acts of free association and pursuit of happiness foster an “an anti-government ideology” which endangers “those things which draw us together.”

Like nanny-statism and government control.

YOU NEEDN'T WORRY about self-driving cars -- they've only had 11 accidents in 6 years.

Umm, I've only had three bumper-tappers in 54 years of driving.

CARLY FIORINA on her presidential campaign:



It's long, almost an hour, but well worth the time spent.

As I've said before, it you really, really, really want a woman President, Carly Fiorina is that woman.

SHARING IS NOT PERMITTED? Storage shed built at no cost to the school district torn down. Because Title IX.

[O]fficials with the Clark County School District showed up at the school and demanded that the storage shed be torn down. They said it violated Title IX.

Title IX states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

In other words, for every boy sport there must be a girls alternative.

And in the case of Arbor View High School – if the boys have a storage shed – the girls must have a storage shed.

“It requires that we have equal facilities for boys programs and girls programs,” [according to] district spokesman Joe Murphy.

It doesn’t seem to matter one iota that the girls softball team never asked for a storage shed.

“The girls aren’t complaining.... It’s totally coming from the school district.”

You’ve probably turned to your significant other and wondered aloud, “Those administrators are morons. There’s no reasonable way a storage shed could violate Title IX.”

But we’re not dealing with reasonable people here, folks. We’re dealing with public school administrators.

The moron quotient is strong in this district.

EVEN THE DUMBEST DEMOCRAT EVENTUALLY GETS THE MESSAGE: New Jersey finally throws in the towel on its 'smart gun' law.

It only took 13 (yes, 13) years.

A DRUGGED ELECTORATE IS A DOCILE ELECTORATE: ObamaCare linked to opiod prescriptions.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

IS THAT ALL? NASA funds electricity-harvesting robotic space eel with explosive jet thrusters and electroluminescent skin.

IT'S THE ONLY THING for which he's even marginally competent: Obama back in fundraising mode (and Democrats expect him to stay there).

"As Michelle [Obama] helpfully reminds me, I don't have another race to run," Obama said at one of his fundraisers this week. "This is not a project that stops after a certain term in office, and it's not a project that stops after an election. This is something that we have to sustain over the long term."

He's not going away. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

SPACE-X CAPSULE soars in first test of crew escape system. Time magazine has the video (annoying commercial alert).

THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY of small nuclear reactors. Economics killed small nuclear power plants in the past — and probably will keep doing so.

I'm surprised, somewhat dismayed, and a little bit skeptical. It's obvious that there are economies of scale in terms of large anything, but there are also other factors that can obviate that economy of scale. For example (in this case): a network of mini-reactors within the confines of a large city minimizes the need for large, transcontinental high-tension power lines.

(Sarcasm alert for those who need one.) And as an added bonus, a nuclear meltdown will primarily affect nanny-state politicians and their enablers.

WHO SAID the Clintons aren't green? Oh, that green....
