APPARENTLY WE’RE NOT DONE WITH POLLING: Gun polling shifts, still way off target.

SEA SLUG SNOT STUNS LOBSTER NEMESES:  Now, say that five times real fast!  But seriously, giant sea slugs apparently have venomous boogers that disable the ability of predators to smell them, so the slugs can slink away unharmed.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Has a Century of Progressive Education Turned Us into Obedient Sheep?

And if you missed my interview yesterday with Greg Lukianoff, the author of  Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate, and the president of FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, click here to listen. (A transcript is also included.)

HAS DARRELL ISSA FOUND OBAMACARE’S SOLYNDRA? Maybe, maybe not. What is certain is that reporting by The Washington Examiner’s Richard Pollock on the Obamacare co-ops has prompted an expanded investigation by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

WILDLIFE IS TASTY: Montana moves to make roadkill legal to eat: Is ‘freeganism’ a good idea?  Uh… who wanted to make it illegal in the first place?  (And if you’re ever at a science fiction con with my friend Dave Freer, do ask him about his road kill story.  One word.  Rhinoceros.)

I’M ON THE WILDLIFE BEAT TODAY: Well, actually the wildlife beats conservationists.  (Video.)

COLORADO GUN CONTROL HEATS UP:  (pun intended).  Just days after Colorado Governor Hickenlooper signed them into law, new gun control measures are being declared by state sheriffs to be unenforceable due to ambiguities and constitutional concerns.

In a related story, one such sheriff believes that a Colorado bill to increase sheriffs’ pay is being delayed in an extortion-like “obey or no pay” manner.

ABOUT THAT ASHLEY JUDD “RAPED TWICE” LINE that Ed quotes, infra. Since when does having been victimized count as evidence of your ability to fight?

UPDATE: Turns out she’s not going to fight.

TIME EDITOR: I’m ‘A Little Biased’ In Favor Of European Socialized Medicine.

What gave it away? Other than working for a magazine that featured the Constitution being shredded, along with the headline “Does It Still Matter?” on its cover in 2011, I mean.

Also at Time, “Joe Klein ‘Mystified Anyone Would Oppose Same-sex Marriage.’”

So Joe’s not going to ponder why someone would oppose the notion, and then offer counter-arguments in favor it; his brain simply won’t allow him to commit such Thoughtcrime. I just “can’t understand” that…

HOLD THE PICKLES, HOLD THE LETTUCE:  . . . special orders will upset us!  I give you:  The Obamaburger.  LOL.

UNDESIRABLES, MEXICAN STYLE:  Michelle Malkin documents Mexico’s harsh legal treatment of “undesirables”–i.e., illegal aliens.  She asks “If such self-interested ‘nativism’ is right and good for the protection and survival of Mexico, why not for the United States?”

From Nick Gillespie at Reason, with videos. No one will be seated after the US Navy-produced “BATH SALTS: It’s not a fad…It’s a NIGHTMARE” film begins. “It’s not From Here to Eternity — it only feels like it.”

JANE JETSON WOULD APPROVE: No more getting bent out of shape! New ‘bra dryer’ keeps lingerie’s form while drying, via infrared light instead of spinning.

Well, it is the 21st century, you know.™

(And speaking of the Jetsons, it’s worth mentioning Paleofuture’s 50th anniversary retrospective of all 24 first season episodes one more time.)

STOP THE PRESSES: Miami Dolphins redefine helmet logo.

Two thoughts: Meh. And, why mess with a classic? OK, a slightly kitschy classic, but one that’s associated with the heyday of Don Shula, multiple Super Bowls, and an undefeated season.

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD DENOUNCES VIOLENCE (AND OTHER FAIRY TALES):  In a meeting with the British Ambassador to Egypt, the Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammed Badi, “thanked the ambassador for his visit and praised his condemnation of all forms of violence,” stressing that “the Muslim Brotherhood denounces violence.”  Except for that whole jihad against Israel thing, um, yeah, okay, whatever.

I THINK I’LL PASS ON YOUR VIDEO, CNN.

And I think I’ll pass on this as well, if it comes to fruition: CNN Threatens Daily Show Featuring Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper.

ASHLEY JUDD UPDATE: “I’ve been raped twice, so I think I can handle Mitch McConnell:”

That lovely little tidbit was buried in Howard Fineman’s fawning HuffPo profile of the “fearless” Ashley Judd, but The Daily Caller drew attention to it in an article today.

Gosh, wasn’t it HuffPo that smeared Steven Crowder for supposedly making a rape joke about Judd? But when Judd tosses around the word rape, she gets a virtual lapdance from Fineman. In his March 9 article, Fineman praised Judd’s progressiveness and squeed over how she was “born to campaign.”

Born to campaign … on behalf of Mitch McConnell? If so, she’s doing a bang-up job.

Heh.™
