MEMO TO PRESIDENT OBAMA: "When Charles Schumer, John Kerry, Barney Frank, Deval Patrick, and the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association are all warning that your regulations are destroying jobs, maybe it’s time to start putting ... people ahead of fish."

IT COULD BE WORSE: How the Washington Post campaigns for Obama’s re-election.

I COULD USE ANOTHER PHD: Borrow lots of money, go to graduate school, vote for Obama. It's free!

OBAMA BASHES PRIVATE JETS, private jet sales then plummet, now a bunch of jet-making workers lose their jobs. That reminds me that I saw an Obama "Yes, We Did" bumper sticker on a car in front of me this morning. I sure the Piper workers will be happy ....

WHERE THERE'S SMOKE, there's Cain's new video. I like the video, and the subliminal message that there's a new - and politically incorrect - sheriff in town. Good work, Herman!

APPLY THE 'CLASS' TEST to all government legislation.

FIVE MYTHS helping to drive Occupy Wall Street.

I'm of the opinion that every piece of "I'm from the Government and I'm here to help you" legislation be tried out on government employees for a minimum of 10 years before being foisted off on the public at large.

POLITICAL MATH: it's all about context.

THE HOME AFFORDABLE REFINANCE PROGRAM (HARP) II is pathetic because it doesn't forgive people who bought overinflated homes they couldn't afford in the first place.

Sorry, Felix; that's not a bug, that's a feature.

OCCUPY OAKLAND EVICTED: To save on overcrowded jails, once they had them surrounded, the police should have put up a fence and locked the gate.

A WAY to look at the debt ceiling:

Let's say you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.

What do you think you should do ... raise the ceilings, or pump out the shit?

Your choice is coming Nov. 2012

From my email.

EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM TEST: The state can 'seize control' and 'there is nothing we can do'. Frankly this -- and the accompanying comments -- are just a wee bit over the top and miss the essential point, which is "Just what constitutes an 'emergency'?" Already our local EBS system goes into hyperdrive every time there is fog, a rain shower, thunderstorm, snow, or winds greater than 30 knots, warning us to get off the roads, get to emergency shelter, or cower in the basement.

It's a case of the "little boy who cried 'wolf' too many times" without the ability to tell the little twerp to sit down and shut up.

CALLING IT LIKE IT IS: the cult of global warming is losing influence.

PARASAILING OVER TURKEY. What a beautiful country.

DANA MILBANK: The birthers eat their own. Milbank bends himself into a pretzel attempting to blame the Republican orthodoxy for the 'birthers' and the 'birthers' for racism.

The 'birthers' are wrong, but at least they are consistent in their insistence that eligibility for election the presidency and vice presidency be restricted to children born on American territory of parents who are U.S. citizens at the time of birth. Remember that they challenged Sen. McCain's Republican nomination on the grounds that he was born in Panama.

As for the implied racism charge, it's hard to believe that Milbank doesn't understand that most of the non-'natural citizen' charges (Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Nikki Haley) would be levied against fairly recent immigrants, most of whom are likely of non-caucasian origin.

ANOTHER REASON TO DERAIL OBAMACARE: do you really want your private medical information in government hands?

OSHA: another government agency gone rogue. Since it's virtually impossible to prevent government from being stupid, the next-best thing is to dramatically reduce the size of government.

NO KIDDING: 'Cash for Clunkers', home-buyer tax credits were mistakes.

TRANSPARENCY FOR THEE: Lefty activist demands oped 'transparency,' but hides own funding ties to Big Green, anti-energy groups.

WHAT 'OCCUPY WALL STREET' really wants:

The core essence of their proposals involve $1.5 trillion in new revenue to create 25 million public sector jobs paying union wages, free public transportation, free university education, a single payer health care system and other initiatives. They also favor "reappropriating our business structures and culture, putting people and the earth before profit." Further, they want to end free trade, spend a trillion additional dollars on environmental programs, and forgive all debt.

Straight from the mouths of babes idiots.
