DECLINE THE RIDE. "They’re on the crazy train, and they’re trying to sell more tickets."

THE ZOMBIE VOTE IS BEING SUPPRESSED: 36,635 dead lose their right to vote in West Virginia. Apparently the Americans with Disabilities Act [ADA] doesn't apply to the 'living challenged'.

AMMO GRRRLL on Hollyweird's Crazy Christians.

ONLY GOVERNMENTS should be allowed to 'drop' rocks.

Kudos to Ms. Wu for acknowledging The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, but she really should have read it. If she had, she might recognize that (a) you don't 'drop rocks' from the moon (except perhaps on her own foot), and that (b) governments, not corporations, are the worst offenders in terms of 'dropping rocks'.

SPRING IS SPRINGING: This is the first (from Georgia) in my annual spring flowering marathon.

The view is from outside my 'office' window, looking down toward the property association pond. No buds in sight yet, but the trees along the east side of the house are just beginning to blossom, so these won't be too far behind. Look for the pond and hill beyond it to slowly disappear.

SEEN ON OUR LOCAL CHURCH: "Don't judge others just because they sin different than you."

NO. NEXT QUESTION: Is the American elite really elite?

LAST CARD (taken from this cartoon):

Democrats have cleared the deck.

DON'T FORGET SPACE when building/rebuilding infrastructure.

A WARNING FOR THE LEFT: Are you sure you want a 'living Constitution'?

REAL WORK GETS A HEARING: Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe to testify before Congress about vocational education.

MAPPING WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE: the most accurate map of dark matter ever created.

It's really quite simple: what you can't see is where what you can see isn't.

A MOST DISHONEST TWEET: Sayeth Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) on Twitter:

I’ve been on the Armed Services Com for 10 years. No call or meeting w/ Russian ambassador. Ever. Ambassadors call members of Foreign Rel Com.

When caught, McCaskill claimed that there was insufficient room in the 140-character limit to add 'one-on-one' (1-1) before the word 'call' in the tweet. Except that the tweet itself is 142 characters (count 'em).

WHAT A DIFFERENCE AN ELECTION MAKES: Donald Trump declared to the world that he was president of the United States; Barack Obama spent eight years pretending to be president of the world.

SCRAP THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS; the American arts scene will still thrive.

ANOTHER STORY about those 'peaceful' Dakota Access Pipeline protestors. The 'free lunch' crowd - dirty, demanding, and violent....

BRIAN WILLIAMS blames the ‘American people’ for not demanding that Trump release his tax returns. Did it ever occur to him that the 'American people' don't care about Trump's tax returns?

U.S. SENATOR colludes with Russians to influence presidential election. It was a Democrat.

TRADEOFFS IN EVERYTHING, ObamaCare included.

For Democrats, there are never tradeoffs, never unintended consequences.

DISTRUST: the wages of fake news.
