IN OTHER WORDS, they're recruiting Democrats.
TEAM OBAMA: Nothing left but ego. But there's plenty of that.
THEVOTERSMUSIC: Blame It On Bush.



From their album Electile Dysfunction.
ANOTHER PACK OF LIES.
KIM STRASSEL: What to expect if Obama wins a second term. Good news it is not.
SO WHICH PARTY is extreme on abortion? The answer might surprise.
REALITY STRIKES (SLOWLY): New York Times Public Editor’s Last Column Says Paper Has Progressive Viewpoint. I wonder if he's found a new job yet....
YESTERDAY I POSTED my thought that the President Obama's weekly address was nothing more than a campaign speech. It was also campaign fiction; in other words, a lie.
PLASTIC VS. CLOTH SHOPPING BAGS: Let's put a little chlorine in the gene pool. Scroll up for the original post.
FAIR AND BALANCED? or boring and liberal? Moving slowly toward boring and liberal, I'm afraid.

WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO as the Republican convention convenes.
HEH: 'Republican Women for Obama' are Democrats.
THE TEST OF FIRE: the Catholic church fights back.
HOW TO GET RICH QUICK:


UNEMPLOYMENT: "We Tried Our Plan, and It Worked...."
The only problem for President Obama and his economic team is that too few Americans chose to exit the U.S. civilian labor force as they desired. In order to have achieved their goals, they would have needed to remove an additional 2% of the U.S. working age population from the ranks of the nation's civilian labor force.

That would be on top of the 2% of the U.S. working age population that they successfully removed from the U.S. work force since January 2009. With the current civilian labor force participation rate standing at 63.7%, that additional 2% reduction in the number of Americans in the civilian labor force works out to be roughly an additional 4.9 million people.

What can we say? Apparently, the President and his team have decided that culling the U.S. work force is a lot easier for them to do than generating real job-creating economic growth.
Well, almost worked. Those obstinate Americans kept looking for work rather than drop out of the workforce altogether as Obama expected them to.
DIMOCRATS KAN'T SPEL:


Seen flying over the Romney/Ryan rally in Ohio (or is it Oiho?)
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES: Obama’s Solar Panel Tariffs Threaten To Destroy An American Business. I doubt Romney's position on China trade is any better, but his business acumen may be enough for him to think through the consequences.
BREAKING NEWS: Astronaut Neil Armstrong dies at age 82.

UPDATE: the Fox News story is here.

When Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon in 1969, my wife and I were newly married, living in Waianae, Hawaii. We watched the landing in our living room on a Sony MicroTV (4-1/2 inch diagonal screen) which I had bought years earlier while I was working in Okinawa. I still have the TV, although it hasn't worked in years.
DAVID KOCH: A civic duty.
SKUNK WORKS ENGINEERS develop a laser-powered drone aircraft. I was lucky enough to be able to work at the Skunk Works for several years.
