Massive Government Expanson:

"Lawyers Have Already Drafted 13,000 Pages of Regulations for New ObamaTax Law"

"“It’s a delegation of extensive authority from Congress to the Department of Health and Human Services and a lot of boards and commissions and bureaus throughout the bureaucracy,” Matt Spalding of the Heritage Foundation said.
{...}
The federal government is about to assume massive new powers."

And, they aren't even done writing regulations yet!!!!!

Charles Krauthammer: The Imperial Prez:

Scotus' slapdown of Obama imperiousness on immigration has been largely overlooked. It shouldn't be.

Sandra Stickle: Mr. Krauthammer, I have had issues with former presidents. However, this is the first one that has genuinly frightened me. I see my freedom and liberties being eroded. He holds himself in such a way that gives one the opinion that he beleives he alone know how to fix America's problems. He doesn't understand that government does not have the right to tell us how to live. Government is to protect the people. He really frightens me on so many levels.

Robert Shimel: The Obama legacy.
Years 1 & 2 Obama creates National health care instead of creating jobs.
Obama raises the national debt by $5 trillion dollars.
Obama touts green jobs knowing that green energy costs 7X the amount of fossil fuels.
Years 3&4 Obama destroys the American military by doing away with don’t ask don’t tell allowing Gays to serve openly.
Obama says no to the Keystone XL pipeline which would have created 20,000 American jobs instantly.
Obama says Gays should be allowed to marry.
Obama gives amnesty & green cards to 800,000 illegal aliens giving them American jobs knowing that there are 25 million Americans out of work!
Come election day the national debt will be $16 trillion Dollars.
There are 47 million people on food stamps up 50% since Obama took office.
The unemployment rate is 8.2 % in real life it’s 22% with 25 million people out of work!
And to all of you saying Obama saved GM – GM still owes the American taxpayers 20 billion dollars!!!
Overwhelm & Collapse the American System. Obama: Mission Accomplished!!!

This is for Vince, though I already showed it to him:

Almost two hours into waiting in line at California Adventure for the new Cars ride, I suddenly had the awful thought that perhaps the line itself, mimicking our insane traffic, was the ride. In other words, you stand in line for a couple of hours, edging your way slowly toward your destination, and then they immediately send you out of the area with an expression of thanks for taking the time.
...
Perhaps the wisest course of action is to head over to Cars as soon as you enter the park, get a fast pass, go do a bunch of other stuff, and then return to Cars at the appointed hour. This way, you can avoid the long line and your party can be seated together.

Why would a grown man spent two hours in line for an amusement park ride?

Because it’s fun. Cars is fun. It’s a lot more fun than driving in real cars to Disneyland. But everybody in southern California knew that already.

I slept in.  But still got up pretty early.  I took Vince and the boys to see Madagascar 3 and pretty well slept through it.  It's far too frenetic for me anyway, but the guys enjoyed it.  Then before we went home, we found a geocache.

I finished SON OF A WITCH which I borrowed from Roni.  Now I not only have to find and read the next two books, I also have to re-read THE LAND OF OZ since Llyr ran into Tip and Mombi at one point.

And one of the original Sacramento cachers died, so I'll be going to his funeral next week.
