DOING MORE WITH LESS. And saving taxpayer dollars.



Explain to me again why sequestration is a 'big deal'.
A REPUBLICAN IN MASSACHUSETTS?
FROM MY EMAIL, a minor bit of history you probably didn't know:
Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York .

This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico . But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York . The ship hit an iceberg and sank. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss.

Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as -

Sinko De Mayo.
What? You expected something educational from me?

I THOUGHT I'd heard it all, but ... climate change leads to prostitution?
A RED LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED. WHAT'S NEXT?



From the Los Angeles Times.
QUITE A RIDE: From king of the world to dead in the water in six months. My preference would be from "King of the World" to "King of the Road".

CONGRESS, TOO: Time to Ban High Capacity Liberals From Campus.
REMINDER:

INSECT-EYE CAMERA offers wide-angle vision for tiny drones.
MEDICAL PRIVACY is about to go the way of the dodo. About to go? It's gone -- long, long gone. Medical privacy disappeared when health insurance bacame health care. ObamaCare is simply making it obvious.
BUT OF COURSE: Will Bureaucracy Keep The U.S. Drone Industry Grounded? Privacy concerns are often cited, but bureaucratic incompetence is what will keep drones grounded for the forseeable future.
JUST DESSERTS: Gas stations vanishing from Bethesda, MD. Bethesda is the inside-the-beltway-but-outside-DC-proper home of those who most adamantly want the rest of us to take public transportation.

Here are the vanishing gas stations, and here's the Bethesda Metro station (smack in the middle of Wisconsin Avenue in the Washington Post graphic).

Walk or ride yourselves, and leave the driving to us.

SURPRISED? Unravel Obamacare and You Get a Train Wreck.

Finally, light at the end of the ObamaCare tunnel....
SOMEONE'S LYING: Special ops called for military backup during Libya attack. My experience with the military tells me it's not the boots on the ground.
NEWSPAPER GUILD: The Los Angeles Times must not be sold to the Koch brothers and their “harsh right-wing positions”. The two words 'newspaper guild' tell you everything you need to know.

RELATED: It's win-win if the Koch brothers buy it.

MORE: Who’s afraid of the Koch brothers?
IS THINKING OBSOLETE? Insofar as liberals are concerned, yes. Next question?
HO-HUM. Just another defensive use of an assault rifle. Nothing to see here. Just move along now.
MEMO TO SENATE: Mandate The Border Fence Be Built Or Kill The [Immigration] Bill.
TWINKIES REVENGE: "The ding dongs at Big Labor who refused to make concessions when Hostess Brands, the makers of Twinkies, Drake’s Cakes and Wonder Bread, faced imminent bankruptcy, now find themselves frozen out of the newly constituted company."

Just desserts; and soon I'll be able to buy my breakfast cupcakes again.
WE ARE WOMEN; WE ARE NRA.
