I'm found so many fascinating articles and news reports lately that I couldn't possibly post in-depth about them all. However, I suspect you'll find most every link here well worth reading...
Today is the anniversary of the Challenger explosion, and Andrea Shea King was on the inside when it happened.
The Clinton-Obama split in the Democratic Party is just too delish. It took awhile, but decades of the Party's immersion in identity politics have finally yielded their poison fruit. Try this headline on for size: [Nat'l Organization for Women, NY] calls Teddy’s endorsement of Obama “the ultimate betrayal Update: “Psychological gang bang?”. Teddy "hates women?"

Killer Dolphins?! Who knew...
And finally, this is your must-see for the day....
