POWERLINE: The least successful conspiracy.

DRONE ENCOUNTER UPDATE: White House Isn't Telling the Truth About Coast Guard Encounter With Drones.

Obviously there's a whole lotta lyin' going on....

BINGO! Protect your health; drink coffee and whiskey.

I do.

NEVER GET INTO AN X-FIGHT WITH ELON MUSK. Keith Olbermann did. Here's the result:

Olbermann wrote "So @elonmusk you also suck at politics lol f--- you fascist."
"You elevate Tourette’s to poetry," Musk fired back at Olbermann that evening.

Game, set, match to Elon.

(NOT) AMAZING: Here's where a missing Congresswoman was found.

It tells you something about Congress, doesn't it? -

The Democrats' government is on life support; let help it die.

THIS IS WHY I quit using a calculator for basic math. I was losing the ability to do it in my head.

Same here.

AND THE AWARD for the state with the worst drivers in the nation goes to ... Massachusetts.

Yep. When I was working we had a contractor in New Hampshire requiring me to land in Boston and drive north. Boston drivers are so bad that if you give them an inch they'll try to park in it.

Also yep. D.C. has the lowest speeding rate. I commuted to Arlington, next to D.C., for 11 years. The reason for the lowest speeding rate is that the roads are so congested that you cannot possibly even hit the speed limit, much less exceed it.

Read the rest.
