MEAT EATER'S MANIFESTO: “I could never eat plants that are raised on crowded farms and inhumane living conditions with less than one square inch of space per stalk, stuck in the soil against their will.”
AMMO GRRRLL takes one more trip to the bathroom.
OBAMA: a dedicated corpseman, he will campaign in all 57 states. (I hope he campaigns in the last seven.)
MEGAN MCARDLE: A sad fact from today's bag of hate mail.

It would be interesting to peruse the email/twitter comments. My bet is that the respectful commentary came largely from the conservative readership; the disrespectful, name-calling hateful commentary came almost exclusively from the left. At least that's been my experience.

GLENN REYNOLDS: Don't be a sucker for socialism. Even Hillary's socialism.
FURNITURE FIREPOWER: Rising gun sales have triggered a new trend in furniture fashion -- coffee tables, cabinets, headboards and hutches with secret compartments for firearms.

We've been looking around for some furniture pieces for our new house, and several of the stores we've looked at either have concealment furniture for sale, or will build it to specification. It's not specialty furniture any more.
SURRENDERING TO DEATH: some thoughts on the Paris terrorist attack.
ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE: The Thinking Man’s Guide to Donald Trump.

ANGELO CODEVILLA: Political correctness is war by other means. And Donald Trump is leading the charge in fighting back.
IT'S NOT YOUR WATER: EPA gets welcome rebuke in Wyoming.
HOUSE COMMITTEE: Obama administration official lied to Congress about ObamaCare exchange grant funding.

The headline would be just as accurate if the period came immediately after the word 'lied'.
TECHNOLOGY: How should a self-driving car tell you to take the wheel?

I'm somewhat amused by post, because it's long been known that a swift kick in the ass works very well in getting someone's attention.
WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' STUDIES, WE ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER. EPA yanks study showing weed killer doesn't cause cancer.
NO SHIT, SHERLOCK: Obama is a nincompoop. Or worse.
YOU DON'T SAY: The corporate ‘cure’ for sexual harassment only feeds the disease.

As someone who's been forced to sit through years of those 'training' programs, I'm surprised it took a Stanford research team to discover the obvious. Perhaps they could have just asked the 'trainees'....
HEH: National Shooting Sports Foundation wants ATF to investigate possible firearm felonies committed by Couric crew in anti-gun documentary. Punching back twice as hard.

Conservatives (finally!) have discovered lawfare.
WHAT WILL BECOME OF US when automation takes over more of our jobs? The real story is in the comments; read them and wonder about America's future.

FISHING for the mush-headed sucker. Too late, Hillary's already found them....
TECHNOLOGY: The history of the microwave oven. I thought I was prehistoric - but I'm only 2 years older than the microwave oven.
OBAMA'S COMMENCEMENT SPEECH: You didn't earn that.

RELATED: the 'post turtle' President. Something I recognized way back in 2008.
