JUST LEAVE OUT THE WORD ‘GAY’ and you have my thoughts exactly: ”I am gradually becoming weary of the tactics of the radical gay leftists, and I find myself wondering if and how their relentless, unceasing, and unquenchable campaign will end. I am beginning to look back fondly on the days when most of them stayed in the closet. Will they push too far and end up losing much of what they have gained?

AS EVERY GOOD ENGINEER KNOWS, correlation does not necessarily prove causation - but it tells you where to look.


Will Collier looks. "Limited supply plus growing demand equals higher prices. That’s a formula so simple, even a community organizer should be able to understand it."

I HAVE A DEGREE FROM HARVARD, and you expect me to work?

IT’S NOT “AND YET” ... it’s because. More: “Inside every Leftist is a little authoritarian dying to get out.” Emphasis on “little.”

THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR MATURITY: "Only in 1976 and 2008 did young people vote in large enough numbers to elect a president. They screwed up both times."

P. T. BARNUM is reputed to have said “There’s a sucker born every minute.” And many of them get MBA’s.

OBAMA: No ‘silver bullet’ to bring down the price of gas.

His ’six-gun’ only shoots green bullets.

GREAT NEWS: Superman to renounce his U.S. citizenship. But “[i]sn’t he … an illegal alien? Since when did we start admitting people from Krypton, anyway? Ah well. More work available now for American patriots like Batman and Spider-Man.”

THERE. NOW IT'S FIXED: "In a major strategic shift, the Service Employees International Union plans to use its giant political operation to try to build a[n] grass-roots astroturf movement of public protest and organization similar to the massive show of pro-labor support that overran Madison, Wis. last month."

NOW WE KNOW: "Shared sacrifice" means you share the sacrifice.

NOT JUST any idiot.

THIS IS the America I know and love.

COUNT ME IN as part of the 30+ percent group in the over-65 age category. I want nothing more than to be out of Medicare.

PRESIDENT OBAMA should write a check to the U.S. Treasury for $182,998. That’s how much more he would have owed had his “tax the rich” plan passed.

FLIGHT DESIGN to produce a low-cost alternative to Cessna 172/183 singles. Maybe it’t time to rethink letting my pilot’s license lapse.

ENDEAVOUR is proceeding towards launch on April 29. My son and granddaughter are driving down to Cape Kennedy to see it. It will be her first - and hopefully not her last. Early in my career, I was at the Cape for a Saturn launch - but I was working and never actually saw it.

FINALLY SPRING. Images from around the neighborhood.

THE ROAD TO HELL is paved with stimulus funding.

GASOLINE PRICES are skyrocketing. I paid $3.92 a gallon (for regular) this afternoon, compared to $3.52 this time last month. That’s an 11% per month inflation rate; roughly a 250% annual increase. Expect to hit $6 a gallon by the end of August.

Hyperinflation, anyone?

GABRIELLE GIFFORDS cleared to attend husband’s shuttle launch. You can bet your bottom dollar that President Obama will also attend.
