HOW'S THAT 'CIVIL SERVANT' THING WORKING OUT FOR YOU? Majority of public pensions headed for bankruptcy.

MAZDA CAN'T REPEL THE SPIDERS, so it's programming its cars to live with them.

Environmentalism.

F-18 SUPER HORNET causes 'earthquake' in Southern California.

IN THE WAKE OF THE MALAYSIAN AIRLINE DISASTER HYSTERIA, this is nice to know.

SPRING HAS (FINALLY) SPRUNG. Here are the first blossoms of Spring:

From the nearby horse farm.

Dogwoods beginning to blossom at a townhome community near by.

Near the entrance to our subdivision.

Pear tree at the entrance to our street. It's still hard for me to believe that this tree was badly damaged in hurricane winds a few years back. Whoever trimmed the tree shaped it to near perfection.

And finally, the tree across from our house.

Both pear trees in the last two photos will be at peak blossom in the next day or two.

THE GREAT DEBATES we aren't having.

Shut up, they said.

BILL CLINTON ON VOTER ID: Why not solve the problem by putting a photo on every Social Security card? Right ... like having children vote is a good idea.

OH, WAIT: on second thought, having them vote before they can become indoctrinated progressives might be a step forward.

THE PAY GAP IS CLOSING; the credibility gap is widening.

The pay gap is a crack in the asphalt; the creditibility gap is wider than the Grand Canyon.

MAKE THEM PROMISE to not vote before they move to Tennessee. Texas shoulda done that when the Californians started moving in....

IT CAN'T JUST BE BECAUSE HE'S AN ARROGANT POLITICAL HACK: Eric Holder Suggests that Racism is Behind Republicans’ Tough Questioning Of Him.

Hey, Eric, your race card is wearing out.

SUPPORT GLOBAL WARMING: buy an SUV.

UNLESS YOU PAY IN ADVANCE: White House of selfie-loving Obama now frowns on others' selfies.

I DIDN'T KNOW they manufactured stupidity pills this strong:

To this end, we now make our first clear demand of Google. We demand that Google give three billion dollars to an anarchist organization of our choosing. This money will then be used to create autonomous, anti-capitalist, and anti-racist communities throughout the Bay Area and Northern California. In these communities, whether in San Francisco or in the woods, no one will ever have to pay rent and housing will be free. With this three billion from Google, we will solve the housing crisis in the Bay Area and prove to the world that an anarchist world is not only possible but in fact irrepressible. If given the chance, most humans will pursue a course towards increased freedom and greater liberty. As it stands, only people like Kevin Rose are given the opportunity to reshape their world, and look at what they do with those opportunities.

It's time to bring back insane asylums; these people are dangerous to society and themselves.

NEWT GINGRICH: Lessons from the Mayans. Lessons unlearned, I should add.

TWITTER FEMINISM: No. 14 has it right.

A READER COMMENTS:

He [Obama] told the truth when he said "... not a smidgen of corruption ...". By definition, a smidgen is a small amount.

smid•gen
noun \ˈsmi-jən\\ˈsmij\
: a small amount

There isn't a 'small amount' of corruption. There's a very large amount. And it's spreading.

Heh.

UPDATE: House committee votes to hold Lerner in contempt of Congress.
