HOW MANY OCCUPIERS live on less than 66 cents a day? Can they even live on the average living wage in the Third World?

SOME NEW DESIGNS for commercial aircraft.

JULIA: “Don’t worry your pretty head about it, little lady, Barack will take care of you.”

THE RNC responds.

DAY BY DAY: I think we've hired everybody.

ELIZABETH WARREN, Native American. What annoys me about Elizabeth Warren -- and race-baiters generally -- is that she's perfectly happy to claim 'victim' status but wouldn't lower herself to go to, or live on, a 'Native American' reservation herself.

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING, unintended consequences, and 'green' econmics. Lessons unlearned.

FORWARD! to socialism. And don't ever look back....

THOMAS SOWELL: A Cynical Process; Part I and Part II.

ARE PUBLIC SCHOOLS becoming more and more like prisons?

Hell, the entire U.S. is looking more like a prison system. But our 'controllers' will argue that we have to be protected from ourselves....

SPIRIT AIRLINES' BOSS calls complaints 'irrelevant,' says dying veteran should've bought insurance.

Spirit Airlines going out of business in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ....

HE THOUGHT it was a Tea Party protest.

RANDOM THOUGHTS from the retirement lane: life as a cat butler.

I was on the front porch this morning, enjoying the beautiful weather here. We have four doors exiting the house; two of the four were open to let the cats move freely in and out. Shadow came up to me and demanded to be let in the front door, which was one of the closed doors.

WHERE'S WHITE HISTORY MONTH?

RANDOM THOUGHTS from the retirement lane. On spreading the wealth around.

It has been the mantra of the Obama administration for over 3 years that government is needed to 'spread the wealth' from the richest 1% to those who really need it (Solyndra, etc.).

So I've been thinking -- over the past three months, I've been having some major renovation done on my house, and I believe I've been much more successful than Obama in spreading the wealth. As a result of my efforts, my contractor is wealthier, his subcontractors are wealthier, the tile vendor is wealthier, the kitchen appliance manufacturer is wealthier, the bathroom and kitchen fixture manufacturers are wealthier, the siding manufacturer is wealthier, and I'm wealthier.

I did it in just 3 months. And I'm not one of the 1%.

MIKE BAKER: Using Bin Laden to sell Americans on Obama's reelection.

EXPLAINING THE DEBT CEILING:

Let's say you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood. 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 crap?

Your choice is coming this November. Don't miss the opportunity.

OCCUPY WALL STREET: change you must believe in. After all, it's for your own good.

MAY DAY: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

IS MEDICAL CARE A RIGHT? No, it's a responsibility. I don't agree with Dr. Sherz fully, particularly on the issue of who the'bona fide experts' are, but generally he's on the right track.

PRE-DEBTORS PRISON: If you're planning on leaving, do it before Obama's reelection.
