How easy is it to dupe the new TSA strip search scanners?

Apparently very easy.  Jon Corbett sewed a pocket inside of his loose shirt so it hung away from and beside his body.  He then walked through billion dollar, cancer causing boondoggle.  And continued right through to the other side without incident.  Turns out that metal objects show up great if they are outlined against your body, but do not show up at all if they are beside your body where they blend into the dark background.  Oh, and there is no way he could have gotten the object through with the old fashioned screening. Good job, TSA.  Maybe we should be thankful.  The way they are operating, law abiding citizens can also smuggle weapons on board so they can return fire.

Romney

Is going to be the nominee.  The party is starting to unite around him.  Mike Huckabee on Fox News:

But if the trend continues over the weekend that we've started to see with Romney, sort of, bringing people together as people are saying "Okay, look, if he's going to win, let's go ahead and get behind him."

That's what I think is starting to happen.

Former (conservative) Governor and Senator from Missouri and United States Attorney General Ashcroft endorsed him.  So did noted conservative Congressman and Majority Leader Cantor from Virginia and Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, who has his own conservative bona fides.

And I love how the Main Stream Media is reporting left and right (but mainly left) that the active Republican Primary has irreparably bruised whoever emerges as the nominee.  Quite the contrary.  Romney's name recognition is now higher than Obama's.  By being beat up by the conservative wing of his party, the undecided center probably thinks he is more moderate than he really is--which is a good thing in the general election.  Plus in today's world the electorate as the attention span of  gnat.  Talk to me two days before the election day about polls, maybe.  Most of all: damn near persistent double digit employment, real inflation, gas at five bucks a gallon and a few more Obama buddies who fattened at the green energy trough with your money.  That is why he won't get re-elected.

Who invented WiFi? GPS?

It is arguable, but I am going with Hedy Lamarr.  That's right, the classic screen beauty was definitely not just another pretty face.  She was born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in Vienna in 1913.  She was discovered by Loius B. Mayer and worked with the like of Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Lana Turner, Judy Garland, Bob Hope and Cecille B. DeMille.  But did you know she came up with the frequency-hopping shared-spectrum idea.  Initially she thought she could make radio controlled torpedos harder to jam if the guidance system erratically changed between 88 frequencies.  You can look up the patent if you want (US Patent 2,292,387)  And that alone would be notable for the Hollywood beauty.  However, in true silver screen fashion, the story gets better.  Lamarr's frequency hopping idea serves as the basis for modern spread spectrum communication technologies like blue tooth, WiFi and CDMA.  So next time you are walking down the street, listening to your smart phone give you directions through your ear bud, thank Hedy.

The Pope is Catholic, Bear go poop in the woods . . .

And another "green" energy firm that got a boatload of cash from the Obama administration is doing a massive layoff on its way down the drain.  But don't worry.  Abound isn't at all like Solyndra that got a half a billion in DOE loans.  It only got $400 Million of your money.

The TSA is useless

Don't take my word for it.  Ask Steve Moore, a former head of the FBI's Los Angeles Joint Terrorism Task Force Al Queda squad, a 35 year pilot, and too many more credentials to list:

Frankly, the professional experience I have had with TSA has frightened me. Once, when approaching screening for a flight on official FBI business, I showed my badge as I had done for decades in order to bypass screening. (You can be envious, but remember, I was one less person in line.) I was asked for my form which showed that I was armed. I was unarmed on this flight because my ultimate destination was a foreign country. I was told, "Then you have to be screened." This logic startled me, so I asked, "If I tell you I have a high-powered weapon, you will let me bypass screening, but if I tell you I'm unarmed, then I have to be screened?" The answer? "Yes. Exactly." Another time, I was bypassing screening (again on official FBI business) with my .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol, and a TSA officer noticed the clip of my pocket knife. "You can't bring a knife on board," he said. I looked at him incredulously and asked, "The semi-automatic pistol is okay, but you don't trust me with a knife?" His response was equal parts predictable and frightening, "But knives are not allowed on the planes."...

Obama has admitted he is OK with the high gas prices

Really.  He may not be interested in bringing the price of oil down, but I think most Americans are:

The Heritage Foundation points out that hammering the American consumer with high gas prices to make electric and hybrid cars more appealing is consistent with Obama administration policy and Chu's philosophy. That explains the refusal to allow the building of the Keystone XL pipeline and to allow drilling in wide areas of the U.S. and offshore areas.

Let me put this another way.  Obama is imposing (another) de facto tax that is crushing our economy and takes money directly out of your wallet to benefit a connected few and to please the left wing intelligentsia, but of course they are smarter than us.  So shut up, sit down and pay up. For your own good.

Photo ID for voter registration wouldn't work
