We need more music videos like this one. (Probably needs high bandwidth to view.)

Doing Voice Overs For GEICO Is So Easy
Ethanol Welfare Queens
A nice bipartisan rant, from Kevin Williamson.
Abolish The Department Of Education
Jerry Pournelle says that it’s a necessary, if not sufficient condition to fix public schools:
I have always thought that Congress, which has the undoubted right to run the DC school system any way it wants to, should make that the shining example of how schools ought to operate. THEN we might listen when the Department of Education tells the rest of the country what to do. But for the moment I believe the DC school system is actually the worst in the US. Of course the Washington educrats still assert the right to tell the rest of the country what to do. Why not?
The same would apply to DC gun laws.
Rush Limbaugh
…as Svengali?
Most of the people I talk to who refuse to listen to Rush have never done so, and simply believe all of the “terrible” things they hear about him in the media. But I do think that the notion of changing their political beliefs is very frightening to many of them.
Iceland
Here’s a joke that’s been going around the Intertubes — it was the Icelandic economy’s last wish that its ashes be scattered over the EU.
Speaking of which, here’s some cheery news. There may be a bigger eruption coming.
[Update a while later]
Here are some more. I liked this one:
Iceland goes bankrupt, then it manages to set itself on fire. This has insurance scam written all over it.
Heh.
Celebrate The Mistrust
Thoughts from David Harsanyi. The less trust we have in government, particularly the federal government, the better off we’ll be, so the latest polls are good news for those of us who want to restore it to constitutional principles. Barack Obama, with all of his lies, is doing the nation a favor. As are those who repeat the lies in his service.
[Update a couple minutes later]
“I don’t promote government failure — I expect it.” It’s certainly the way to bet.
Barack Obama’s Conservative Space Program
I have a response to Robert Costa’s piece from last week, over at National Review Online.
Life In The Bubble
This is pretty funny. I don’t watch the Morning Joe, but Mika made Joan Walsh look like an idiot. Not that that’s much of a challenge.
[Update a few minutes later]
It’s kind of inside baseball, but I’m assuming that the MSNBC suits have been telling Mika and Joe they’re not allowed to criticize Olbermann or Matthews. Hilarious.
Orbital Is On Board
Here’s the release from David Thompson in support of the new policy. Orbital was a loser, in that they were the subcontractor to Lockmart’s Orion contract for the Launch Abort System. If Orion isn’t going to carry crew into space (the new plan is for it to be a return vehicle only), then it doesn’t need one. I guess they’re just sucking it up and hoping that they’ll get a lot more cargo delivery business under the new plan.
