NEW ACLU PHONE APP lets you record the cops. ‘The New York chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has released an Android application allowing mobile-phone users to easily capture police patdowns on video, which is then automatically uploaded to the rights group’s servers.”

Well, I think you have a constitutional right to do that.

And you might want the app in Chicago, too:

Two men claim in court that Chicago police battered, strip-searched and falsely charged them of crimes they did not commit because they used cellphones to videotape a police officer who was driving on the wrong side of the road when he hit and injured a motorcyclist.

Perhaps Eric Holder will order a civil rights investigation.

JAMES PETHOKOUKIS: Obama is wrong. The private sector isn’t ‘doing fine.’

UPDATE: Bob Corker: President Obama Is Offering Proposals That Are “An Insult To American Intelligence.” Watch the clip — the usually mild-mannered Corker is really going after Obama hammer-and-tongs here.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Romney Campaign sets up parody Twitter site: @ObamaIsDoingFine.

MORE: Bada Zing: Governor Christie calls Obama’s blame-gaming an outrage, ‘we’re right and they’re wrong.’

MORE STILL: Romney: ‘Historic’ Obama error.

STILL MORE: Jim Treacher weighs in.

FINALLY: Throwing himself under the bus. The Hill: Obama walks back comment about private economy ‘doing fine.’ I’m guessing he saw the Corker clip.

DINOSAURS LESS HEFTY THAN WE THOUGHT?

Dinosaurs may have been lighter than previously thought, according to scientists who used a new technique to assess the weight and size of one of the ancient creatures.

The biologists at the University of Manchester, in England, used lasers to measure the amount of skin required to cover the skeletons of 14 large modern-day mammals such as elephants, giraffes and polar bears. They found a consistent ratio of skin volume to body mass (weight).

They used a similar technique on a skeleton of a giant plant-eating Brachiosaur in a Berlin museum — calculating skin volume and using that to predict weight. Previous estimates of this particular specimen’s weight have varied, with some as high as 88 tons. But this new technique suggests the animal weighed “just” 25 tons (50,000 pounds).

See: They weren’t fat. They just had big bones.

SAVORING SUMMER VACATION: Why Your Brain Needs A Break.

The average vacation in America now numbers a pathetic three to four days—a long weekend. And this year, according to a recent survey, one in seven Americans is taking no vacation at all.

The problem is, the little time we now allot ourselves for vacations can’t do what vacations are supposed to do. “You need more time to fix burnout,” explains Joe Robinson, author of Work To Live: The Guide to Getting a Life. You have to be cut off from a stressor for a sufficient amount of time to give your mind and body a break. And you have to allow two weeks for your body to rebound.

So I’m taking this as a sign that my off-Internet dive trips should be twice as long. Duly noted. . . .

WELL, THERE’S LESS MATH: Why Do Kids Prefer Science Fiction to Science?

Ideally, of course, you get science fiction that sells the science. That’s harder to do, but it happens. A good modern example — clearly in the Heinlein junior-novel tradition — is John Barnes’ Losers In Space.

ANDREW MCCARTHY: What Upsets the Obamedia About “Fast & Furious” Is … the Leaking! “This is the same legacy press that was delighted by Justice Department and White House leaks when it came to driving Bush Attorney General Alberto Gonzales out of town; the same media currently ignoring a tsunami of leaks of classified national defense information by the Obama White House — leaks designed solely to make the president look good for re-election campaign purposes. Yet, in order to change the subject from the Justice Department’s oversight of the lamebrain Fast & Furious investigation — in which arsenals of weapons were allowed to be transferred to violent Mexican drug cartels, and as a result of which a U.S. Border Patrol agent has been murdered — the Obama campaign’s media wing is now focused on whether Republican Congressman Darrel Issa has a ‘mole’ inside DOJ who is giving him information that proves Attorney General Eric Holder & Co. have been misleading the House Judiciary Committee and the public.”

ELIMINATIONIST RHETORIC: White House Official on Cory Booker: “He’s Dead To Us.” Maybe he should cross over and become a Republican.

But wait there’s more:

Cory and Barack Obama have never been besties, but that was the final nail. It’s like, ‘You’re dead and done.’ The firing squad is out,” said a Democratic source in contact with both sides.

Remember when people were calling Sarah Palin a murderer for language far more moderate? But that stuff is no longer operative. But just imagine if Republicans were talking about a black man this way.

UPDATE: “Cory Booker is about to be reclassified as white.” Hey, they did it to George Zimmerman.

BRYAN PRESTON ON OBAMA’S PRESSER: Obama Press Conference: It is ‘Offensive’ to Accuse His White House of Leaking National Security Secrets. Key bit, though: “The president took no questions on the Wisconsin recall or the California pension reforms passed on Tuesday.” I’ll bet he didn’t.

INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY: What’s Really To Blame For The Lousy Recovery. “Despite the fact that the 2007-2009 recession was very deep, the current recovery has been uniquely anemic. In fact, growth rates for the current expansion have been well below the average set by the previous 10 recoveries. So why, then, has this recovery been so unusually weak?” Lousy leadership.
