OHIO AIRPORT turns to prairie grass to combat bird strikes. But they have to get FAA permission to grow the grass....

THERE GOES YOUR PRIVACY: Your candy wrappers are listening.

SOME EXAMPLES of the idiot Left in academia.

VICTIMS KNOW THEIR PLACE: "[W]hy do markedly more minority campaign workers choose to work for a party that pays them so much lesser [sic] than it does whites?"

GENTLEMEN: A vanishing (vanished?) breed. And with gentlemen, civilization.

RELATED. [A] group facing higher risk of suicide: Older white men with depression.

PETARD, MEET HOIST: John Kerry said that if you didn’t study or were stupid, you would get stuck in Iraq. Today, John Kerry is stuck in Iraq.

TAX INVERSION explained.

IT'S GOTTA BE FROM GLOBAL WARMING: At Martha’s Vineyard, Obama Complains About Cold Ocean.

JOHN KERRY TO AFRICA: Prevent global warming; starve your people.

TED CRUZ ON OBAMA: "[There's] a new diet that’s really quite popular in Washington these days. It’s called the Obama diet. You just let Putin eat your lunch every day."

From the Scorekeeper (#8) with another reminder (#10): "An amateur built Noah's Ark. Experts built the Titanic."

BACK TO SCHOOL: Reading, writing, and ... 'social justice' arithmetic.

THE SCOREKEEPER on Barack Obama (#1): No clothes, no clue, no brains.

DEMOCRATS: Women earn less than men; blacks earn less than whites; and Hispanics earn least of all.

And it's all the Republicans' fault.

HEH: Help me stay rich, Colorado. The sad part is that Coloradans probably will.

OBAMA REPEATEDLY TAKES CREDIT for pulling all troops out of iraq ... and yet now he says it “wasn’t his decision.” To be perfectly honest, I suspect that it's the truth -- I doubt the man has ever made a decision in his entire life.

Hot Air, though, suggests he's a liar.

Take your choice. Neither is very appealing.

NO. JUST THE OPPOSITE. Are Mobile Devices Causing More Good Than Harm?

IS DIVERSITY necessary for a successful workplace? An astute observation from the comments:

CARS MAY THINK, but will they achieve artifical stupidity? Judging from my recent road trip to Georgia and back, I suspect artifically-stupid self-driving vehicles will have a hard time achieving the levels of real stupidity I saw on the road.

I used to be very skeptical of autonomous vehicles; this last trip is slowly changing my mind.

THEY WANTED A BULLET TRAIN: And got one.
