OK, you have your favorite holidays, and I have mine. Happy St. Nipples Day. Beats green beer, doesn’t it?

Now that you’re awake, more Wednesday eye-openers.

Beware the lies of March

Prof. Donald Douglas investigates UCLA’s “Students for the Extermination of Israel”: “the Muslim students were not only hostile to scrutiny, but extremely belligerent as well. Clearly the group has much to hide.”

Who knew!: The Olympics is part of the Zionist conspiracy.

What’s in the Brooklyn College pro-Palestinian’s syllabus I exposed to scrutiny? An attorney with a practice dedicated to the defense of faculty in promotion and tenure disputes, and faculty and students in disciplinary matters, is shocked, just  shocked: “The syllabus was just what was wanted and, as with all administrative wrongdoing or stupidity, a challenge was never expected.” See for yourself; click the "shocked.".

Government Accountability Office report: The U.S. government has 15 different agencies overseeing food-safety laws, more than 20 separate programs to help the homeless and 80 programs for economic development. Billion$ of bloat:

“makes us all look like jackasses," Coburn told reporters, arguing both the legislative and executive branches can barely track federal programs.

Why No Cost-Benefit Analysis of Greenhouse Gas Regulations?

Overzealous EPA agents have whipped parents into an unnecessary frenzy over PCB

In case you were wondering, Washington Post: Why Arab nations lag behind rest of world economically, despite oil and natural gas

Another NYT/CBS poll is exposed as stacked with Democrats and union members. Jeez, they’re pathetic propagandists.

Here's what happens when government directs private investment

Astronauts install last U.S. room on space station. What about one for zero-gravity sex? Private enterprise could sell tickets, galore.

Another cool graphic: How the International Space Station grew.

Drill Now!

With Cuba and its foreign partners preparing to drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. embargo [Obama’s on US drilling in the Gulf of Mexico] prohibits American companies from joining Cuba in efforts to extract offshore resources, denies Cuba access to U.S. equipment for drilling and environmental protection, ties the U.S. government's hands, leaving it unable to plan adequately for a potential spill,and puts our coastal assets at great peril.

These are among the findings contained in a report, "As Cuba plans to drill in the Gulf of Mexico, U.S. policy poses needless risks to our national interest," released today by the Center for Democracy in the Americas (CDA).

Obligatory Crack in Buttocks story

Almost as good. Bullying White House to hold bullying conference

Obama says of ObamaCare, you can do it my way or you can do it my way. -- Also, Obama strengthens the case for repealing ObamaCare:

A closer look shows that the president is not lifting the burdensome requirements ObamaCare imposes on states.  All he's doing is proposing to move up, from 2017 to 2014, the date on which states can apply for federal permission to impose a different but equivalently or more coercive plan to expand health insurance coverage.

We should have known this was coming, when all else fails: WikiLeaks’ Assange Complains of Jewish Smear Campaign

ZINGO! "David Ignatius is about as sharp as marble. But Ignatius is something worse than obtuse. He is a complacent tool staring in the face of evil."

Ways to make asses on your keyboard: for example, smart ass (_E=mc2_); kiss my ass (x)

Talking of assholes, "Robert Reich has actually argued that the rich should welcome redistributing more of their income to prevent an angry American populace from turning on them."

She may reward you by telling you to put a hat on it

 The following comment was made today about the photo of Jane Russell:

RIP Jane. She was a beautiful lady and a talented actress.

Until I saw that particular picture, though, I didn't realize how much she looked like my Lovely Bride.

Let's start the day with an eye-opener that started many men's days, they wished. RIP Jane Russell.

WSJ review of Bing West’s latest book: In Afghanistan With Our Warrior Elite

Bruce McQuain obliterates false psy-oper with facts, deracinating the self-promoting fraud who was heralded by Rolling Stone and other lib media

Arab psyops against the West:

Perhaps it’s also time to dispense with the idea that European education gives the progeny of Arab autocrats — be they Saif Qaddafi or Bashar al-Assad — liberalism. Rather, it gives them Western style and skills necessary to better deceive Western audiences.

Lessons for Obama:

•Evil exists.

•There is nothing sophisticated about moral equivalence.

•Engagement does not change dictators; regime change does.

•Think twice before apologizing for America, because you look foolish when those you are apologizing to are guilty of far more than the university-club cocktail circuit can imagine.

•What Arab autocrats (and their sons) say behind closed doors is irrelevant; what they say to their own people is what we should judge them by.

Strangers No More wins Oscar:

Strangers No More tells the tale of children from 48 different countries who attend the Bialik-Rogozin School in south Tel Aviv. Many of the students have escaped genocide, war and hunger to arrive in Israel at a school where "no child is a stranger."

Der Spiegel reports Erdogan Urges Turks Not to Assimilate:'You Are Part of Germany, But Also Part of Our Great Turkey': “It was a speech that did nothing to reinforce any feeling of belonging to Germany -- Erdogan steadfastly appealed to the Turkish national pride of people who have been at home in Germany for four generations.” – Also, a leading Turkish newspaper reports why Turkey opposed sanctions on Libya: ““The business lobby’s concerns have prevailed in determining the Turkish position. The Turkish businesses fear their lucrative contracts with the Gadhafi administration may turn into valueless pieces of paper if or when Gadhafi leaves.””

Scotland Study says green sector costs more jobs than it creates

Obama's green subsidies attract do-gooder bandits

“As bad luck would have it, oil comes mainly from an area that is as stable as a prison riot.” May We Drill Now, Please?

UN praises Libyan human rights!

Ted Kennedy, the early years: “What part of an assistant DA’s job requires a tour of Latin America, let alone brothels and interviews with “angry young men” of the Left?”

Erin O’Connor and Maurice Black are research fellows at the American Council of Trustees and Alumni: “Academic freedom belongs to the public — it is not the property of academics. Professors must explain why academic freedom is vital to our democracy — and prove that they deserve it.” Read it all.

Philadephia: How One City’s Maritime History Changed The World

Gov. Walker responds to Pres. Obama:

“I'm sure the President knows that most federal employees do not have collective bargaining for wages and benefits while our plan allows it for base pay. And I'm sure the President knows that the average federal worker pays twice as much for health insurance as what we are asking for in Wisconsin. At least I would hope he knows these facts.”
