THE KINGSTON TRIO PERFORM ZOMBIE JAMBOREE.

Beware the inevitable zombie uprising, and do not let the musical antics of their sympathizers lull you into complacency!

OBAMA’S competence gap. “We’ve heard the cliché: there is a difference between campaigning and governing. But in the last few weeks the contrast between the two could not have been more stark. And the gap between President Obama’s effectiveness at the former and shakiness at the latter is coming into focus.”

HA HA: David Axelrod tries to make you forget that Obama’s position on gay marriage is less liberal than Carrie Prejeans’s.

WHAT OBAMA ACTUALLY SAID to graduates at Notre Dame.

THE VIEW FROM MY WINDOW.

JULES CRITTENDEN: Getting Cheney.

TOM SMITH:

It’s also very ironic that just as we are on the verge of really stunning advances in biotechnology, we are fixing to destroy innovation in our health care industry. And just as I (and a bunch of other boomers) are about to need it too. Here’s a proposal. Let’s wait until those with the mean age of Obama voters reach an age where they really need health care, to “reform” it.

Perhaps the Chinese will take over on the pharmaceutical innovation front. After all, they’re taking over on everything else.

PLUS, IT’LL BE YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO SMOKE DOPE AND SLEEP WITH HOOKERS: Nick Gillespie offers Obama advice on how to solve his budget crisis.

VIDEO: Protesters interrupt Obama at Notre Dame. Like a “Code Pink” attack?

THE AGE OF FAILED DREAMS: What if the Singularity doesn’t happen?

POLITICO: Some on left souring on Obama. “A few, like MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, have even hurled the left’s ultimate epithet – suggesting that Obama’s turning into George W. Bush. . . . Maddow accused Obama of doing a ‘blatant 180’ on military commissions. On issues like the wiretapping suits, some critics have suggested Obama is even worse than Bush.”

A RIFLE IN ONE HAND, A LAPTOP IN THE OTHER: The Christian Science Monitor interviews some gunbloggers. Money quote:

But here’s the real news: In the press box, bloggers outnumbered national reporters by a good margin. And officially, nearly 50 bloggers — compared to 100 mainstream print journalists — were accredited by the NRA press office to attend the 138th annual convention.

And here’s another:

“If you compare the pro-gun activity in the blogosphere versus the pro-gun-control activity, the scales have just tipped tremendously in their favor,” says Josh Sugarmann, founder of the Violence Policy Center in Washington, which advocates for more gun control in the US. “There’s much more engagement, more involvement, and they clearly have more free time than people on our side of the issue do.”

In the process, gun bloggers are taking on issues like gun control preemption laws in Philadelphia and putting pressure on firearms firms for their choice of spokesmen. And while their reach can be argued, their rise appears to mirror polling data showing that Americans, sometimes by double-digit gains, increasingly favor more gun freedoms, not gun control.

Read the whole thing. Meanwhile, here’s my report from last year’s NRA convention.
