Morning Examiner: Has Obama peaked?
On Jan. 20, 2009, would be my assessment.
Now we know why Mayor Bloomberg wants to ban giant sugared drinks -- so there'll be more room in tiny apartments!
And you thought your apartment was small.
For today's "Hmmmn" file. How do we square this
A new poll found 56 percent of likely voters believe Obama's first term has transformed the nation in a negative way, compared to just 35 percent who believe the country has changed for the better.
Patty Martone has died, according to information provided by her family to The News-Sentinel.
One thing we've avoided doing during the immigration debates over the past few years is consider the whole of our immigration policy, including legal immigration, which is a consuing web of quotas and restrictions. I think Jeff Jacoby is on to something here when he suggests that it's time we consider scrapping the whole thing:
Here's an urban problem I'll bet you didn't imagine you'd be reading about today. The hobby of "backyard chicken farming" is growing much in Indianapolis that the rounding up of "roving, aggressive chickens" by the Animal Care and Control folks is sharply up. What to do with the captured critters?
Liberals seem depressed by the studies showing that conservatives have the edge when it comes to being happy:

Rich Lowry says we should just get over our silly panic about drones spying on us all the time:

Southern California burger chain Slater’s 50/50 has spent the past couple years making a name for itself through its flagship burger patty that blends 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon into a local hero of a menu item.
With the Supreme Court giving President Obama’s new health care law a green light, federal and state officials are turning to implementation of the law — a lengthy and massive undertaking still in its early stages, but already costing money and expanding the government.
You haven’t seen the country until you’ve driven across it. And you won’t really grasp the fallacy of the Left’s bogus argument that we’re running out of space and resources until you do.
Alanis Morissette, please pay attention:
When Long Beach, Indiana, native John G. Roberts was up for confirmation to become U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, he did not get the vote of then U.S. Sen. Barack Obama.
By golly, this is historic. The state promised us some money back if its tax revenue piled up sufficiently, and we're actually going to get the refund:
INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana taxpayers will be getting a refund of at least $100 next year, thanks to a surplus of state revenues and a new state law that requires some of the extra cash be returned to Hoosiers.
