POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures. Here's my favorite.

The NSA one was a close second.

HEH: A really, really green campaign.

YEAH, because unions were on the forefront of racial equality. My take? Now that blacks have been allowed to join unions, liberals want to keep them on the plantation.

We begin the liberal lead up to the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's speech on the National Mall....

EDUCATION SPENDING SOARS. Education? ... not so much.

NOT SO FAST: Congress is still in an ObamaCare trap. But they'll ignore it since both parties' butts are in the wringer.

Remember: ObamaCare is for little people.

HEH: Texas organization will arm and train 500 mothers to use guns during 'National Empowerment Day'.

THE INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS is proposing changes to its Code of Ethics. My recommendation was to put a period after the word 'persons'.

CHAMP FLIES; lights out.



If the Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) missile were ready for operational testing, I have the perfect site: Damascus, Syria.

ADDED: all offense, no defense.

ON OBAMACARE, "the lesson for Americans is that Democrats who passed ObamaCare didn't even understand what they were doing to themselves, much less to everyone else."

FINALLY, PAYBACK TIME: Just $431,000 to go. Shouldn't take much more than the rest of her life.

YOUR HELP IS HURTING: How church foreign aid programs make things worse.

The context of this post is church missions to foreign countries, but isn't the same true domestically, particularly for government welfare programs?

PANDERING IS ALIVE AND WELL: House defends Essential Air Service program in amendment votes.

THE TERROR ALERT THAT WAS: Even the media may be catching on.

A GLIMPSE into the fevered mind of an Obamaphile. The American Glob responds.

I'd comment, too, but I think the picture on the American Glob link tells all you need to know about Obamaphiles.

MORONIC 'CONTROVERSY': Any excuse for morons to cry "racism!"

BURN YOUR OBAMACARE CARD: A nationwide ‘draft resistance’ could defeat compulsory coverage. That's exactly what I intend to do.

LIES, DAMNED LIES, AND PRESIDENTIAL LIES: Every untruth damages the nation.

When Barack Obama squanders his own credibility with his glib lies, he is not just injuring himself during his time in office. He is inflicting a lasting wound on the country as a whole.

But we the voters are not blameless. Having chosen an untested man to be president, on the basis of rhetoric, style, and symbolism, we have ourselves to blame if we now have only a choice between two potentially tragic fates....

It's not fatal -- yet. I hope.

UPDATE: I'll give Victor Davis Hanson the hopeful last word.

FROM E Pluribus Unum to Ex Uno Multa Mendacia in only 4-1/2 years.

HELP WANTED: a tragic hero.

NOW EVEN THE PUBLIC SECTOR is cutting part-timers' hours due to ObamaCare.
