Here are some other highlights and headlines that I noticed over at Ransom Notes Radio:
The Pentagon is trying to justify the high cost of its environmental projects after their “research” has proven to be wildly inaccurate. Among the many false predictions they made a decade ago: California would be underwater by now… It’s a sad thing when dreams don’t come true, isn’t it? (Washington Times)
Hurricanes named after women are more deadly than hurricanes named after men - I didn’t find this shocking… “Hell hath no fury" and such. The Washington post thinks this is because people are inherently sexist, and therefore don’t take storms with female names as seriously as they should... Divorced men were likely not a part of this study. (Washington Post)
The USDA is spending nearly $2 million to change the eating habits of Americans. The agency is currently accepting grant applications to establish a “Center for Behavioral Economics and Healthy Food Choice Research.”… Anyone else want a burger right now? (Free Beacon)
Dick Durbin is on a crusade to snuff out e-cigarettes because they (apparently) are targeting kids with candy flavors. (Right… Let’s regulate e-cigarette flavors while we completely ignore pot brownies.) Isn’t it about time we start banning politicians from Illinois? (Bloomberg)
The reason we should be skeptical of Bowe Bergdahl, and the Administration’s official story: Susan Rice visited the Sunday talk shows. (Breitbart)
Oh, and by the way, we can get a POW back from the Taliban (by releasing the terrorist dream team from Gitmo), but we can’t get a US Marine released from a Mexican prison? Don’t the cartels “owe one” to Eric Holder for all the guns he gave them? (Fox News)
