POWERLINE: Why renewable energy is hopeless.

It's only hopless if you insist on not living in the Dark Ages....

WASHINGTON POST EDITORIAL: Former Virginia governor Robert McDonnell should be held accountable, like others are.

So excuse me, but what's the significant difference between Bob and Maureen McDonnell and Barack and Michelle Obama?

AMMO GRRLL: "Life can be a marathon through a minefield."

TWO EXAMPLES of the proper use of gun control.

THE POWER OF CRAZY: I could live with them if they just wouldn't vote.

An example.

WHY AM I SUSPICIOUS? One million dollar federal grant funds plan to detect “misinformation,” “hate speech” on social media. Remember Obama's Organizing for America 'truth team'? This strikes me as pretty much the same, only under the aegis of the feds.

Hot Air also finds it Orwellian.

JEFF JACOBY on voting for the lesser evil.

WASHINGTON POST: The "can't do" administration.

POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES: Strategery Edition. My favorite:

Enjoy the rest as well.

IRS NOW CLAIMS Lois Lerner’s emails not really missing, just really hard to find. So put the back-up tapes online and let us crowdsource them.

Shouldn't take over 24 hours....

OBAMA'S INVERSION: relocating the White House to the U.N.

LIBERALS: Obama's incompetence is not his fault. (It's those damn Republicans.)

REASON: A Third of Obamacare’s Federal Exchange Contracts Are Already Over Budget. The other 2/3 will be soon enough.

CENSUS: more than one-third of Americans receiving welfare benefits. Remember Mitt Romney's "47%" remark? Well, take a gander at this:

If the approximately 1/3 receiving welfare benefits can be fairly described as Obama's base, Romney wasn't far off....

WE CAN'T SHOOT unarmed civilians if they're wearing body armor. Remember, "if guns [body armor] are [is] outlawed only outlaws will have guns [body armor]".

SENATOR: Contractors with unpaid taxes and security clearances pose risk. Frankly, that's a minor risk compared to the number of administration appointees who are vetted for political correctness and nothing else....

iFAIL: L.A. Unified School District has abruptly halted the district's billion-dollar technology program to put an iPad into the hands of every student and teacher. It didn't work. Root cause: greed, corruption, and (of course) political correctness.

Local Manassas schools apparently haven't gotten the message. Two local high schools, Osbourn and Manassas Park, are planning to implement a 'tablet for every student' program this year (no link available).

NEXT CITY: Should police wear body cameras?

SOMEONE HASN'T VISITED HIS LOCAL TEA PARTY: The Tea Party’s surprisingly hawkish foreign policy.

But he's a 'journalist', so no surprise.

OBAMA. CLIMATE CHANGE. INCOMPETENCE. Can we roll the presidency back to 2008? At least George W. Bush could walk and chew gum at the same time; Obama can't.
