MORE QUADCOPTERS: An Art Installation Sculpted by a Team of Swarming Autonomous Flying Robots.

Plus a bonus: a precision flying demonstration (scroll to bottom).

MORE BAD NEWS: NASA satellites find Texas aquifers at record lows. The record set by the great drought of the 1950's is about to be broken -- if it hasn't already.

ANNE COULTER: Once You Go Conservative Black, You Better Watch Your Back.

The Republicans -- the party, not the candidates -- should start punching back hard. Who induced these women to come out, and what was the quid pro quo?

This is going to be a dirty campaign, and the Republicans must be prepared to go on the offensive.

DRONE PILOTS: the future of aerial warfare.

COMMENT OF THE DAY:

Any time an AGW groupie talks about the "science is settled" or "consensus" it is good to remind them that science is not driven by consensus, it is driven by the 1 skeptic who can prove something, then have others following his procedures arrive at the same results. If science were ever truly "settled" we would still be living on a flat earth at the center of the universe, matter would be up of 4 elements (fire, water, earth, air), and the cutting edge of medicine would involve the use of leeches. After all, all 3 are examples of scientific consensi (consenses?) of their day. Politics, not science, is driven by consensus.

LET'S FACE IT, Obama just doesn't like his job. Of course not, he doesn't want to be a mere President, he wants to be King.

"IF GOVERNMENT destroys all the paths out of poverty, the welfare state will look like the only way to help the poor. Maybe ... that's the bureaucrats' goal."

OCCUPY L.A.: 30 tons of debris left behind.

Instapundit comments: "Remember how the Tea Party protesters left things neater than they found them?"

VICTORY: McDonald's outsmarts San Francisco on Happy Meal ban. If I'm ever out in San Francisco (admittedly, unlikely) I'm going to stop at Mickey D's and buy two Happy Meals so as to get the toys for my granddaughters.

UPDATE: Let's ban San Francisco.

IRAN'S NONEXISTENT NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM gets blown up -- again.

TRANSPARENCY FOR ME, but not for thee.

SO RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE doesn't apply to people who are intolerant of Christians?

THOMAS SOWELL: Seize the center? Hell, no! To use a football analogy, I don't want someone who'll make his stand on the 50-yard line; I want someone who'll drive for the score.

ENDING INCOME INEQUALITY: Stop the 99% from buying all the stuff that makes the 1% rich.

IN OREGON, a profile in incoherence. No, a profile of preening moral arrogance.

APPARENTLY NOT: Does Obama Know the Difference between Great Britain and England?

THEY'RE NOT EARMARKS, they're 'special spending provisions'.

THERE'S A BIPARTISAN APPETITE for tax cuts; spending cuts, not so much. Borrowing other people's money is sooo ... appealing.

HEAT YOUR HOME: burn data.

MICHAEL GOODWIN on President Obama: "He’s so bad at the job that the frequent comparisons to Jimmy Carter are unfair to Carter."
