BLOOMBERG: the Obama budget. The graphic is interesting, but essentially worthless since it shows only the size of the change and not the size of the total budget allocation. It would be useful, perhaps, if it were in terms of percentage change.

The discussion is here.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY released personal information on potentially thousands of farmers and ranchers to environmental groups. Obviously it was done to 'protect the children'.

FIRST FLIGHT of Orbital Sciences' Antares rocket a success. Now NASA has two viable commercial vendors for ISS resupply missions.

FUND LOBBYISTS, not the sick.

OBAMACARE'S FINE PRINT: You may be out of a job.

TANSTAAFL.

TWENTY QUESTIONS.

IT'S EARTH DAY: time to expand your carbon footprint.

THOSE EVIL GUN MANUFACTURERS are forcing guns into the hands of babes.

YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT YET, but ObamaCare made first contact with your wallet on April 15th.

GABRIELLE GIFFORDS: A Senate in the Gun Lobby’s Grip. To put it bluntly, bull. To imply, as Giffords has, that NRA members (of which I am one) are somehow indifferent to the deaths at Sandy Hook is borderline libel, and to argue that any of the 'gun control' measures rejected by the Senate would have made any difference is utterly ridiculous. Not one of the mass shootings Giffords mentions -- Newtown, Aurora, or Blacksburg -- would have been prevented by any of the measures before the Senate. The shooters is all three cases were terminally nuts, and mental health was not included in any significant way in any of the measures the Senate rejected.

Had armed citizens been present, on the other hand, the above massacres might not have happened.

GETTING GREENER: Here's todays update on the spring 'greening'.



Last week's update is here.

INSTAPUNDIT: "A fish rots from the head." Follow the link.

THE 'NEW NORMAL': the inevitable result of electing fools to leadership.

USEFUL IDIOTS. Methinks 'useless' would be a better descriptor....

PLAY THE AGE GAME.

BUT ISN'T 'OWNER' racist, or sexist, or ... something bad?

PROOF: Zero tolerance equals zero intelligence.

Instapundit agrees.

HEH. "[T]he only populist mass movement on domestic policy issues Obama can claim credit for creating is the Tea Party...."

THE ALL-ELECTRIC CAR you never plug in. Wireless power transmission would let EVs draw their power from the road.

I'd be scared sh*... (you get the message) of walking on, or anywhere near, that road.

THINK PROGRESS attacks Regal Cinemas for cutting employee hours because of Obamacare. They'd rather Regal Cinemas went out of business....
