“Obama floats plan to tax cars by the mile”: News of the draft follows a March Congressional Budget Office report that supported the idea of taxing drivers based on miles driven. Among other things, CBO suggested that a vehicle miles traveled (VMT) tax could be tracked by installing electronic equipment on each car to determine how many miles were driven; payment could take place electronically at filling stations. The CBO

It certainly wouldn’t surprise me. But then, consider the source: Osama bin Laden’s teenage daughter witnessed her father’s death in the compound in Abbottabad according to an ISI official. The girl is now in Pakistani custody together with Bin Laden’s wife. The wife, who speaks only Arabic and who was injured in the attack, said on regaining consciousness that she was Yemeni and that she had been in the compound

Mitch Hedberg. Still makes me laugh as hard as just about anyone ever. His death was a great loss to comedy.

Awesome. Now let’s cut funding for it and put that money toward another redundant and ineffective social engineering program! progressives: #WINNING!

Evidently, the SEAL team “assaulters” didn’t have the good sense to attach fake electrodes to dead Osama’s genitals, or put a dog collar around his putrid neck. Because were that the case, no force on earth could keep the photos from being splashed all over the internet. “We don’t trot out this stuff as trophies,” Obama told CBS’s Steve Croft. Coffin-draped caskets of American soldiers, on the other hand? Why,

Instead, somebody should maybe convince Jen Rubin to run for President. Sure, she’s mostly an ill-informed, posturing idiot — and only recently a “conservative” (funny how these newbies land all the posh gigs, ain’t it?) — but at least she travels in the best circles. Anyway, here. For those of you concerned less with “optics” and more with facts: Transcript here. Cut and paste it and send it out to

Investor’s Business Daily: President Obama’s long-form birth certificate wasn’t the only thing released last Wednesday, but it was probably the least important. The Environmental Protection Agency also released its guidelines for expanding federal power over the nation’s waterways, ponds and puddles. These guidelines will take effect after a 60-day comment period and will serve as a reference for environmental agencies in determining their jurisdiction over a particular body of water,

Even as the White House (and so the news media) continues to revise the story of the bin Laden raid — opening up the way for any number of conspiracy theories, many born of the situation room photo showing a sulking Barack Obama hunkered away from the action, a spectator still in his golf clothes and a hastily applied windbreaker — there is pushback coming from the military community, including

The operation to penetrate his compound, remove his security, and take out Osama bin Laden, took 38 minutes. The burial “ceremony” that proceeded his watery disposal as a bobbing shroud of dead terrorist meat took 40 minutes. This? I can’t say. Just tossing it out there, for what it’s worth. Full disclosure: writing this post took 2 minutes, 24 seconds. (thanks to JD)

Today, they’re lining up behind Obama and the fruits of his “gutsy” decision to sign off on a raid on bin Laden’s fancy fortified hut. But it wasn’t always that way. In fact, when a Republican was in office, they seemed more concerned in hectoring him to giving up on the very programs that led to Osama bin Laden’s eventual death, trying every tack from citing Geneva Conventions and Amnesty
