WE HAVEN'T DROWNED YET: Obama Brags About Treading Water.
GOP MESSAGE: Untying Hands of Energy Developers will Help Economy Do ‘Fine’.
House Republicans will be ready to use President Obama’s gaffe about the private sector “doing fine” when they bring their Domestic Energy and Jobs Act to the floor for a vote next week.
[snip]
The package of bills — all of which passed out of committee with bipartisan support — pushed by [GOP Whip Kevin] McCarthy’s House Energy Action Team are intended to spur job growth while lowering energy costs.
So watch the Senate for any signs of  'bipartisan' support.

I DIDN'T CARE FOR CLINTON all that much, but I have to admit he is smart.
POWERING A HOUSE with a plug-in Prius. A whole house backup electrical generator can be had for about $3,000 (excluding installation); a Prius costs about $26,000 (excluding the vehicle-to-home converter), leaving me $23,000 for wheels. Which is the better deal?
FLAG DAY 2012



ADDED & BUMPED:

EDUCATION 'EQUITY'. The only way to achieve 'educational equity' is to lower the bar and disadvantage the achievers.
GOOGLE now “understands” what you’re looking for. That's hard to believe since most times I don't even understand what I'm looking for.
FIREFIGHTERS BATTLE out-of-control blazes in Colorado and New Mexico. And the fire season is only beginning, underscoring the need for proper forest management. I suspect the cost of clearing underbrush, mechanically or with controlled burns, is significantly cheaper and less destructive than fighting large forest fires every year.
I WATCHED OBAMA'S 'FRAMING' SPEECH. In a few words, it was "Hey, let's forget about the last 3-1/2 years; it's 2008 again." What a waste.
WHY IS THIS MAN WHINING? Because it's all he -- and liberals generally -- knows how to do.
TRICK OR TEAT: Madonna in breast form. Put your coffee down first.
NOT IF I CAN HELP IT: Northern Virginia Edge Could Be Pivotal for Obama.
STUPID SNAKE. I was out yesterday caulking the seam between the patio concrete and the basement wall; this morning I went out to finish the job only to find a small garden snake stuck in the caulk. Luckily, it was alive and barely stuck, so it only took a few minutes to unstick it. Sadder but hopefully wiser, once free it took off under the front porch to seek a new home.
NO SH*T, SHERLOCK: I got duped.
IS PERESTROIKA coming in California? Maybe, but it will take a few more hits from the Clue BatTM to be sure.
THE PERFECT LIBERAL WORLD: elementary school. And it matches their emotional and intellectual development too.
E. J. DIONNE doubles down on the progressive dogma that more government is better government. I will grant him one correct statement; that "[a] belief in government’s constructive capacities is not some recent ultra-liberal invention."

That statement is correct, which is the reason that conservatives have a long row to hoe in order to return the federan government to its constitutional responsibilities.
BECAUSE HE'S KING: Why should I wish Barack a happy Father’s Day?
BLUE CIVIL WAR in nation's most unionized state? Not really; it's more of a bipartisan war against special interest groups.
