GOOD: ‘Super PAC’ Increasing Congress’s Sense of Insecurity. I can understand the concern associated with having an out-of-state/district PAC, but increasingly even 'local' elections have national impact....

TECHWISE CONVERSATIONS: Fukushima, One Year After.

More here.

MORE THAN HALF of Obama’s 47 biggest fundraisers, those who collected at least $500,000 for his campaign, have been given administration jobs.

And, of course, the opportunity to recover their campaign contributions....

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON on the Middle East: "Tribalism, oil and Islamic fundamentalism are a bad mix that leave Americans sick and tired of the Middle East -- both when they get in it and when they try to stay out of it."

There are two remaining options: (1) colonization; and (2) destroying every vestige of civilization and then leaving - permanently. I prefer the latter.

RED SKY IN THE MORNING; political bureaucracy take warning.

The entrenched bureaucracy -- on both sides -- should, but won't, take heed.

TECHWISE CONVERSATIONS: Obama wins 2012 in a squeaker. I sure hope that prediction engine is wrong. Badly wrong.

ON IRAN AND ENTITLEMENTS, Obama kicks the can down the road. No, over the precipice.

DARPA’S “CHEETAH” sets land speed record.



I don't think I'd want it chasing me ....

NO, NO, IT WAS BUSH'S FAULT! Moon Tied To Crash Of The Titanic.

NEWT GINGRICH: "America has a destiny in space."

I want to restate: America has a destiny in space. That’s who we are. We are not backing off John F. Kennedy’s challenges, and we are not going to let the Chinese dominate the future in space.

That's why I like Gingrich -- boldness and vision.

STIMULUS FAIL: what happens when you look only at the benefits side of the equation. Another good reason why each house of Congress needs a few good systems engineers.

THE CHEVY VOLT is a failure, so it must be the Republicans' fault.

Talking Points Memo: the spin starts here.

WIND POWER: subsidizing companies to not produce subsidized energy. Just another benefit of crony capitalism from the White House.

MICHELLE MALKIN: The War on Conservative Women.

CAPITALISM IS GREAT. It's the only system with a moral core because it's based on freedom, not force.

U.S. AIR FORCE SPACE PLANE marks one year in orbit.

PAUL KRUGMAN: States of Depression. Is there ever a time in the liberal mind not to increase taxes and government employment?

I AM ANDREW BREITBART. As am I.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Gaseous Policies of Barack Obama. Here are two delicious excerpts.

Is the driving force [to keep gas prices high] then some philosophical desire to restrict crass American materialism in order to return to a preferable pre-carbon dioxide Golden Age past? And if so, are the president’s sudden complaints about high gas prices and considerations to draw again from the strategic petroleum reserve entirely cynical, in the sense that once reelected, he and Secretary Chu will accelerate their restrictionist policies in hopes of keeping gas prices even higher?

And

When the world economy began rebounding, demand picked up, prices spiked, and now Obama is in campaign mode: suddenly high gas prices are bad and he claims not that he wants his House-approved cap-and-trade bill pushed through his Democratically controlled Senate, but rather that all along he has encouraged private enterprise to drill while successfully persuading us to cut back our consumption (as if we did so because of the impressive oratory of Barack Obama rather than because he had managed to ensure millions of Americans now had no jobs to drive to work to).

There's much, much more. Read it all.

ONLY 'PROGRESSIVE' SCIENCE is real science.
