AMERICA THE NON-RACIST: The simple fact of the matter is that 'white racism' is largely confined to white progressives.

RANDOM THOUGHTS from the retirement lane. Wildfires are nature's way of telling us we're lousy housekeepers.

IF OBAMACARE DIES TOMORROW, what’s next? Here are some excellent suggestions.

More thoughts here.

PRESIDENT OBAMA in a campaign email Tuesday: “I will be the first president in modern history to be outspent in his re-election campaign, if things continue as they have so far.” I have no problem with that.

THE UNICORNS' REPUTATION is getting badly sullied by association with the progressives.

TEN THINGS you would miss about Obamacare. Nope, nary a one.

What I do miss is the ability to buy on the free market high-limit catastrophic health insurance (not health care, health insurance) without all the government-mandated bells & whistles that I neither need nor want.

A SNAPSHOT of Obama's economy. As you scroll through the gallery of charts, CNN tries to generata a sense of optimism which simply doesn't correlate with what I see looking out my window.

GET READY TO DUCK: FAA Forecasts 10,000 Unmanned Aircraft Could Be Active Within Five Years. And turn your privacy shields on....

HEH: Orbitz steers Mac users to pricier hotels after tracking software shows they spend more than Windows users. Windows users are thriftier.

ARIZONA IMMIGRATION LAW: It looks like the conservative position did in fact win.

HIGH TECHNOLOGY need not be electro-mechanical.

BACK TO THE PAST: 'Cloud computing' is nothing more than a sophisticated version of the 1970's technology of a single central computer (server in today's techno-speak) connected by a time-shared communication system (intranet/internet in today's techno-speak) to hundreds of dumb terminals (PC's in today's technospeak), so the 'inevitable answer' is nothing more than a return to past practice.

POSSIBLE ALIEN MESSAGE to get reply from humanity -- via Twitter, thus guaranteeing an intergalactic 'fence' to keep the twits isolated.

UPDATE TO this June 22nd post on presidential election trends.

The Rasmussen poll data from today shows that 'strong disapprovals' upward trend is accelerating slightly; 'strong approvals' are continuing their downward trend; and more significantly, the 'mixed reaction' upward trend is flattening as more of the polled seem to be making a decision.

RUNNING ON EMPTY: The Contents of Obama's Character.

IT PROBABLY HELPED: Did Obama's arrogance sink ObamaCare?

FOOLS WALK IN where angels fear to tread.

HEH: "The fact that someone is a preening buffoon provides absolutely no assurance that he is not also a grasping egomaniac." Three guesses as to who; the first two don't count.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Is the Country Unraveling? I'm cautiously optimistic the answer is "No."

'FAECIES EVENIO' isn't a legal excuse.
