WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW: Drone journalism.
IF HE'S SO GOOD, why isn't he more popular? "[T]he perception among conservatives is that Huntsman just does not like them." Correct. He's smarmy.
UH, OH: Egypt Islamist parties win more than 60% of the vote.
MICHAEL BARONE on Newt Gingrich's candidacy. The fact that he's not well-liked by the Republican establishment is a feature, not a bug.
IF PAYING LAWMAKERS MORE is a prerequisite to getting them to work less, I'd pony up to the bar.
OCCUPY D.C. From the comments: "Our forefathers fought for independence from a king, these useful idiots are fighting to become dependent upon a king."

More here. The pictures certainly doesn't suggest a "makeshift structure."

IF TRUE, not good news. The Pentagon has only confirmed the loss "over western Afghanistan" but the aircraft is clearly of a stealthy design. More on the RQ-170 Sentinel here.

WHY NOT make colleges co-sign their students' loans?

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Why not pay higher taxes? "[This] is not a bold plea not to pay taxes, but a feeble rear-guard action to remind some why 50% of an income paid in assorted taxes is enough — and why more is not just unnecessary, but will more likely make things far worse. Had Obama been, even for a year, an electrical contractor or Starbucks manager rather than spent a lifetime in academia, community organizing, or comfortably employed by some sort of government, he would have had a different view of taxes and expenses. I might suggest from experience that I knew a lot of independent farmers who could have done graduate work at a Stanford or UC, but not too many Stanford PhDs who could have run and survived on a 400-acre operation of cotton, almonds, and citrus."
NO SURPRISE: Democrats can't do math.
QUESTIONS about the Cain allegations. This was written before the 'Cain Train' derailed, but the question I want answered remains unasked -- who induced these women to come forward, and what was the quid pro quo?
AWW: Some occupiers so traumatized they may need therapy. Poor babies ... where's my teeny-tiny violin?
IS ALL THIS class warfare rhetoric really necessary? It is if it's all you have left.
MY YEARLONG BATTLE WITH THE SUPERLOUSE. If there were something effective, we could try dusting the White House and Congress.
