SANTORUM'S SILLINESS IN SAN JUAN ...
It's enough to make you lose your lunch.
Michelle Obama, in a fund-raising letter sent to prospective suckers -- er, DONORS -- writes, "Barack is in love with you. He really, really is. (Snip) I see this happen a lot: Someone in a crowd yells at my husband, We love you, Barack.' That's when he interrupts himself, smiles really big, and says, 'I love you back.' And he does.
Suuure he does. Sounds like a teenage boy trying to extricate a date from her underwear.

Our prevaricating President recently entertained a gullible Democrat audience with tales about the "backward" Republicans, including this jibe: “One of my predecessors, Rutherford B. Hayes, reportedly said about the telephone, ‘It’s a great invention, but who would ever want to use one?’"
I'n fact, President Hayes was a technology enthusiast and installed the first telephone in the White House. Obama, as usual, was either ignorant or outright lying.

Is anyone surprised by the Breitbart revelation of video showing our anti-American Attorney General, Eric Holder, advocating a plan to -- his word -- "brainwash" young people into opposing Second Amendment rights to own a gun? Not if they've been paying attention!

Today's (highly) recommended reading: "What the Mailman Knows about Ayers and Obama" by Jack Cashill on The American Thinker website.
Key words: "Foreign student." Mrs. Ayers referring to ... guess who.

The largest disconnect in Obama economic policy may be his concern that people who are largely paid by the taxpaying workers in private enterprise keep their jobs while he disdains the businesses and their employees that provide most of the tax dollars. It is akin to starving a cow while expecting it to continue to give milk.

Why would Rick Santorum, fighting an uphill battle for the Republican nomination, make a trip to Puerto Rico, where he had no chance of winning that territory's handful of delegate votes -- he got less than 10% of the votes in their weekend primary -- when his time could have been more effectively used elsewhere?

Ever wonder about the real source of some of the "movements" the Big Media are so eager to publicize and promote? Mark Tapscott of the Washington Examiner found the roots of a few ...
"Standing Up for Families, an activist group touted as Republican by the pro-gay marriage forces in New Hampshire, is being staffed by folks from local and state Democratic committees.
"Then there’s the national outcry against conservative Talk Radio meister Rush Limbaugh in response to his crude remarks about Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University Law student at the center of the HHS contraception coverage mandate flap. A left-wing political activist employed by Media Matters for America was the parade master waiting for Limbaugh to stumble so he could implement a program he created in 2009 for just such a purpose.
"Remember all those 'citizen protests' against the Keystone XL Pipeline that would bring oil to the U.S. Gulf Coast from Canada and create thousands of new jobs in the process? It was all planned and funded by a bunch of rich foundations and environmental activists, coordinated by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund."

Missing since the overthrow of Libyan dictator Muammar Khadafy: Thousands of shoulder-fired heat-seeking missiles. Perfect for bringing down airliners. Don't be surprised if you next hear about them in some really bad news.

Yet another sign of a sick economy. NASCAR races at the legendary Bristol, Tennessee, track historically sell out the 160,000-plus seats. Yesterday's race had acres of empty seats.

Dan Sorkin, in addition to a legendary broadcasting career, also has an extensive background in aviation and flight instruction. When it comes to commercial air travel, he succinctly says, "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going."
That position is buttressed by word from the major German newsmagazine, Der Spiegel, that the problem found in the giant Airbus A380 -- internal cracks in the wing structure -- may foretell years of ongoing repairs.

Marybeth Hicks, culture columnist and editor of Family Events, addresses realities clearly overlooked by many parents ...
* Life isn't fair. No matter how you try to "level the playing field," some people have better luck, skills, talents or connections that land them in better places.
* Nothing is "free." Protesting with signs that seek "free" college degrees and "free" health care make you look like idiots, because colleges and hospitals don't operate on rainbows and sunshine. Real people with real dollars are underwriting your civic temper tantrum.
* Your word is your bond. When you demonstrate to eliminate student loan debt, you are advocating precisely the lack of integrity you decry in others. Loans are made based on solemn promises to repay them.
* A protest is not a party. Most of you are doing this only for attention and fun. You look foolish, you smell gross, and you don't seem to realize that all around you are people who deem you irrelevant.
* There are reasons you haven't found jobs.The truth? Your tattooed necks, gauged ears, facial piercings and dirty dreadlocks are off-putting. Nonconformity for the sake of nonconformity isn't a virtue.
Ms. Hicks helps clarify why all efforts to achieve "equality" invariably average DOWN the achievements of a society. When excellence is made secondary to the "level playing field" and is not rewarded commensurately with achievement, incentive is lessened. Subsidize mediocrity and you get more of it.

Reader Jerrold offers a new word ...
"I have coined this term for the type of government which describes Obama's presidency. Ponerosocracy Poneros is the Greek word which describes pernicious evil, that type of evil with the intent to infect, harm and destroy. I think it describes him quite accurately."

From the St. Patrick's Day e-mail collection ... this one from Jackie ...
Little Zachary was doing very badly in math. is parents had tried everything...tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers.
Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying.
Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner.
To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before.
This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference.
Finally, little Zachary brought home his report Card.. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, His Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary got an 'A' in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity.. She went to his room and said, 'Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?'
Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no.. 'Well, then,' she replied, Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT?'
Little Zachary looked at her and said, 'Well, on the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus-sign, I knew they weren't fooling around.'
"...and now, if you'll excuse me..."
