WHY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN get cheated on so much.

VIDEO: Protesting Obama in San Francisco.

LIBERALS, DEMS OBJECT TO THE TERM “ObamaCare.” Funny, it was supposed to be so wildly popular that you’d think they’d want credit. . . .

CHRIS CHRISTIE: I won’t let New Jersey become Greece. Or California. A lot of people were hoping for this kind of thing from Arnold Schwarzenegger, but he only plays action heroes willing to tackle tough odds . . . .

GOOD GRIEF: Gibbs Privately Scolded Press for Asking Too Many BP Questions.

RON BAILEY: Who’s Afraid of Synthetic Biology? Don’t let fears about frankenmicrobes halt promising research.

CHANGE: Price of single-family homes drop for sixth straight month. This is actually good news, since that’s what it will take to clear the market, but it also means a lot of families are seeing a major deterioration in household wealth. And things may be worse than they look: “The recent weakness in prices is disappointing given record-low mortgage rates and a home buyer tax credit that helped boost sales through the first few months of this year, analysts said. The tax credit expired last month, and home sales are expected to decline in its absence.” Take away the subsidies and the decline may be more pronounced.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Death of the Postmodernist Dream. “As crises mount abroad and voters’ anger grows at home, Obama’s dream of a new world order has died a quiet death. . . . So the welfare state is discredited. In the past, we used to be warned that static population growth, vast public-sector employment, early and generous retirement benefits, and high taxes were not sustainable. In recent years, those lectures were caricatured as partisan or hypothetical. No longer. The Greek meltdown — with Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain on the brink — has shown that European socialism does not work. Bankruptcy, not politics, is the final arbiter: Individuals, firms, and nations either buy particular bonds or they don’t. And a nation like Greece, in turn, either pays what it has borrowed or it doesn’t. All the op-eds in the New York Times cannot change that fact.”

BROADCASTING FROM Cybersecurity’s Ground Zero.

ED KOCH: Obama speaks softly and carries no stick at all. I think that’s called “smart diplomacy.”

OBAMACARE’S COOKED BOOKS.

SO IN A WAY I GUESS THIS IS GOOD NEWS . . . 7 Out of 8 Incidents of Violence Directed at TSA Workers are From Other TSA Workers. And, in another way, not so much.

HE NEEDS TO “TAKE A VALIUM.”

BLACKFIVE:

Most of the Navy guys I know would not let themselves be called a liar by a sad sack like Robert Gibbs if they weren’t, you know, lying. Froggy would have waterboarded his fat ass quicker than you can say “Charlie Sheen is an awesome actor.” And Subsunk would have appeared out of a storm drain like some kind of an angry sea wolf ninja, kicked him in the nuts until he fell to the ground holding onto what was left of them, grabbed the hair on the back of his head and shoved his face into the pavement until his nose and teeth were mashed up into some kind of a bloody stew.

But Joe Sestak didn’t do that.

So here’s what I think. I think the fact that Joe Sestak — even after being called a liar by Robert Gibbs — has not come forward and made a statement to the authorities about felony corruption he claims to have witnessed says something about Joe Sestak. And what it says is this: Joe Sestak is either a coward, a liar, a political sycophant or — and this is where I’d put my money — all three of these things.

Whatever Joe Sestak learned in the Navy, it wasn’t “personal accountability.”

Ouch.

MASS DEMOCRAT DEFECTION: Liberals Attack Obama’s Response to Oil Spill Crisis.

PJTV: Brandi Milloy reports from the protests against L.A. City Council’s decision to boycott Arizona.

COVERUP? Justice Department declines to appoint independent counsel for Sestak case.

HEH: San Francisco Citizen: Barbara Boxer Replaced by Cardboard Box at Today’s Debate with BlogFather Mickey Kaus. The box was probably a tougher opponent.

SUBSIDIES FOR EVERYONE! Hire Your Kids, Get HIRE Tax Breaks.

ON HUGH HEWITT WITH MICKEY KAUS, talking about immigration and more.

MARKDOWNS ON Blu-Ray and DVD.

SUGARY DRINKS Raise Blood Pressure?

THEY TOLD ME IF I VOTED FOR MCCAIN, we’d have a President who’d expand clandestine military actions throughout the Middle East. And they were right! Ah, the fierce moral urgency of change. Remember that?

TRANSPARENCY: Ag Department Shuts Down Embarrassing Subsidies Database. “The federal farm bureaucrats naturally opted out of disclosing how much they were paying people like former ABC News White House correspondent Sam Donaldson and multi-millionaire David Rockefeller not to grow crops. No doubt the decision was made to ‘save tax dollars.'”

UPDATE: Reader Bart Hall emails:

I farm for a living — meaning that neither of us has a job off the farm, and we refuse to accept one cent of federal farm subsidy.

These people make me want to barf. Or load and lock. The entire system is unbelievably corrupted. Eight “farmers” in South Dakota receive 93% of the total subsidy money for that state. We can’t even talk about the insane water subsidies for California growers that give them a 2 dollar per box advantage for selling lettuce into my own back yard — all of it paid with my tax money.

Yep.

PROSTATE CANCER PROGRESS? “The new treatment — which uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to zero in on cancerous tissue in the prostate and then treat it with thermal ultrasound — was developed over the past decade by researchers at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.” This is exactly the kind of thing that Andy Kessler was writing about a few years back. Faster, please!
