SHOCKER: EPA “Crucify” Official Has History of Unfair Attacks on Oil and Gas.

PEDESTRIANS: How Can You Tell That An Autonomous Vehicle Has Seen You?

PETER SUDERMAN: You Can Tell Romney Is a Radical Because He Says He Believes In Freedom. Well, if “you” is establishment flackmeister E.J. Dionne, anyway.

ANNALS OF THE ONE PERCENT: Tax-Exempt School Gives President A Lavish Life. “It is a tiny school, with an enrollment the size of a modest elementary school. There is no campus, just a small office building. Its 400 part-time students are invisible here, attending classes at off-site facilities across the country. Yet the National Graduate School of Quality Management awarded its president, Robert J. Gee, $732,891 in compensation two years ago.” How do I swing a gig like that?

BANKING ON THE MOOCHER VOTE: House Dem: Unemployed Will Vote For Obama To Keep “Their Benefits.”

YES, BUT THEY WERE PROBABLY HAND-CARRIED THERE BY ATF AGENTS: ATF: 70 percent of guns found in Mexico come from US.

BREITBART IS HERE: The Video. “Everywhere I look now, he seems to appear.”

SO WHAT MAKES BARACK OBAMA A “COOL KID,” EXACTLY?

The raids on marijuana clinics?

The opposition to gay marriage?

The drone attacks?

The Mom Jeans?

Just wondering. . . .

UPDATE: A reader emails: “My theory is Obama represents the supremacy (however short-lived) of the beta-male. The only people who think he’s a hep-cat are hipster betas and 60’s radical-nostalgia dopes (also perennial personal-risk-averse betas who never did anything bold on their own). It’s all projection, much like the rest of the way that demographic operates.”

ISLAMISTS VS. ATHEISTS. Lord take me downtown, I’m just lookin’ for some tush.

JIM TREACHER: The George Zimmerman Narrative Just Got Even Tougher To Maintain.

Why does it matter that George Zimmerman has black ancestors and was raised in a racially integrated household? I have no idea. Maybe it doesn’t. But then, I’m not the one who’s spent the last month insisting he was motivated by racism. I’m just curious about how the press is going to describe him now. White Hispanic*, with a footnote? They’re the ones who think his racial background is a crucial detail. They’re the ones who’ve been working overtime to paint him as a racist.

I don’t know for sure if Zimmerman is a murderer, or a victim who fought back, or something in-between. And neither does anybody else. The loudest voices just have what they think they already know about him, and everything else is just their frantic attempts to reinforce that belief.

Who else has to be hurt over this? How much more blood has to be shed? When are we going to stop listening to guys who pay the bills with race-baiting?

What the hell is wrong with everybody?

I blame Obama.

SORRY, I HOPE OBAMA VETOES THIS ONE: House OKs cybersecurity bill despite veto threat. I think the bill should just die. How about waiting a while before passing more dumb Internet bills.

BRIAN TAMANAHA NOT IMPRESSED with the Law School Admissions Council’s explanation for LSAT fee increases. “My criticism was that LSAC, a non-profit organization, is raising fees when it has $170,000,000 on hand in cash and securities, which provides it a huge reserve. At a time of declining demand, rather than raising fees, another way to go is draw down on the reserve and cut expenses. This is the rainy day they have been preparing for.”

$170 million on hand? Really? And they’re raising fees on students?

PETER WOOD: How To Be Succinct.

DEMOCRATIC VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE calls the mother of his child a “crazy slut.”

GOOD QUESTION: “If the rate of fatal accidents for children and teens has fallen 30% in the past 10 years… why has the death by suffocation rate for babies under 1 year old risen 51%?”

AFGHANISTAN: “Now, that’s a very harsh way to talk about Obama, but it’s the way people talked about George Bush all the time. Remember how Bush was savaged for displaying a capacity for enjoying himself when Americans were fighting and dying?”

TOM MAGUIRE: NBC’s Bad Zimmerman Edit – The Non-Story Expands. “My credulity is straining here. Poynter got good play at MediaGazer, which has links to seven other outlets. Jim Treacher of the Daily Caller points out that Christina Hernandez, an NBC6 reporter, told a different tale on Twitter earlier in April. That has been deleted from Twitter now, but lives on at his blog and in an update here.”
