As a sophomore at Harvard in the 1960s, Gore took Natural Sciences 6, Man’s Place In Nature, and barely passed, earning a well-below average D. Two years later, as a senior, he took Natural Sciences 118, and earned slightly better, a C-plus, or… very average, which is well below average by Harvard standards.

This is the man a third of America believes hook, line, and sinker when it comes to environmental change? Bad choice, America. Bad choice.

Credit Where It’s Due: Gore’s Harvard records were first reported by David Maraniss and Ellen Nakashima at The Washington Post in March 2000.

In a lame attempt to take a swipe at Sarah Palin, which seems needless considering she’s not running this year, or even in office, Obama broke out this one-liner:

What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? A pit bull is delicious.

Please. Lisa Lampanelli is funnier on Celebrity Apprentice while insulting Dayana Mendoza in the board room.

I mean, what’s the takeaway from this joke? That the president likes eating charbroiled pooch? Or that he’s considered cannibalism, since the joke assumes he is familiar with the taste of both hockey moms and pitbulls? The whole joke just falls flatter than the President believes most Americans keep their under-inflated tires and can only do further damage to his image.

He’d have been better off channeling Dwayne Johnson and saying, “Which do you think smells better, a hockey mom or a pitbull? It doesn’t matter what you think, if you smell what Barack is cooking!”

The line would still be tacky, but at least it’d make WWE fans giggle.

Instead, the line he went with even made the crickets stop chirping.

It doesn’t require a degree online in political science to figure this out. Those uttering doomsday prophecies if the battle for the nomination continues much longer are largely from the Romney camp, who wish to be handed the nomination on a silver platter.

Personally, my favorite guy was Hermain Cain and none of the three folks left in the race strike me as wildly appealing in the way Cain did.

But all three of them would be a significant improvement over the Obama Administration, including Romney, and ultimately that’s what counts.

I don’t hate Mitt Romney. I will vote for him over Obama in a hot second. But is Romney my ideal candidate? Far from it. But I’m willing to give him four years to prove me wrong.

The interview shows the funeral director asserting he “didn’t see” any injuries of defensive wounds on Martin’s hands, which he claimed would be common in “a scuffle.” They quickly zip past the most important part of his interview.

“I’m not a coroner,” he admits. And that’s an important point.

A funeral director is not qualified to perform autopsies and come to legal decisions on cause of death, or the extent of injuries expected in certain circumstances. Sure, he handles a lot of dead bodies, but his opinion is hardly conclusive.

What matters in this case is what the county coroner, not the funeral director, found during the official autopsy. If Martin’s body displays indeed a stunning lack of evidence he was in a struggle with Zimmerman, that will be telling in the case against the man who shot Trayvon.

But the funeral director’s opinion on the matter? Well, that’s only slightly more informed than mine.

And it’s not bloody likely; the only way Gingrich will get out of the race is if he loses in Georgia, his home state. Even then, he might be hesitant. And Ron Paul doesn’t care about winning, so he’ll stick it out till the convention for sure.

Personally, I have no great desire to see anyone drop out; I think the vetting process is a healthy one that will forge the survivor into a candidate ready to face the Obama money machine.

To be honest, none of the remaining candidates are personal favorites. They all have flaws; even Santorum. My favorite guy dropped out last fall, when Herman Cain stepped aside.

But does that mean I won’t vote? Heck no. This is about more than just finding a new conservative leader. It’s about preventing a second Obama term, so that his economy-wrecking health-care plan can be halted.

So, be it Romney, Santorum or Gingrich, I just want to see someone get it who can prevent a second Obama term and save the country’s economy as a result. Paul? Ehh… if he wins, that might cause me to stay home and not vote. But Paul landing the nomination is about as likely as me abandoning vlc media player download as my media player of choice on Windows 7 platforms.

(In other words, not bloody likely.)

The Volt was mandated by government, unpopular, a victim of poor sales, and anything but in demand. Chevy’s modest 2011 production goal was 10,000 units sold; they instead delivered a mere 7,671 units… about three-fourths of the volume expected.

While the Prius is in high demand and a hot seller, the Volt simply is not.

That’s why Chevy announced it’s temporarily halting production for the next several weeks and putting 1,300 employees out of work… at least for a while.

Chevy had set a goal of 45,000 units sold in the US and 60,000 worldwide, but sales have been weak in the first two months of the year for the spendy car that can’t go very far without being recharged.

If the Volt could ever live up to the performance and range of the Prius, its popularity could shift; but for now, Detroit’s all-electric car is… pretty much a failure.

Unfortunately, according to online reports, she suffered such traumatic brain injuries that she finally succumbed to them over the weekend, on Saturday, March 3. She was being cared for, in critical condition, at Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville, KY.

It will keep more than one cpa Raleigh NC-based or not, busy assessing the damage, but last I heard, the death toll from the rash of tornadoes on Friday has reached 39 people across five states, with Angel’s passing.

Prayers go out to Angel’s surviving family members.

With such an overwhelming victory, despite outcries of election fraud, it would not be surprising if Putin wins another term in 2018. That would give him another 12 years in office, which would make him 71 at the time his current run would end. That means he’s virtually assured to remain president of Russia for the remainder of his life. Even if he survives the next 12 years, it’s low odds he’d step down at age 71 for six years and then attempt yet another comeback at the age of 77. Though stranger things have happened.

Balz makes the odd claim that Santorum is too extreme a conservative to win next November against Obama. However, he then goes on to outline Santorum’s abortion stance, claiming it is too extreme because he didn’t make exceptions for rape or incest.

But Balz is ignoring history like overheated lab ovens. The position he defines as “too extreme to win” is precisely the pro-life stance Ronald Reagan took. Does anyone need a history lesson on how massively Reagan won over Jimmy Carter, and later over Walter Mondale to secure a second term?

I thought not. “Too conservative to win,” indeed! What Balz fails to remember is that it is precisely the social agenda like pro-life that converted lifelong Democrats into Reagan voters, not weak-kneed exception-making.

That’s troubling; worse is that his administration continues to block initiatives that would ramp up domestic energy production, like the recent Canadian oil pipeline Obama spiked, meaning that oil could go toward China markets instead of the US.

This is no time to be bending over the kitchen counter for every environmentalist extremist that has a runny nose. Simple measures like this could create jobs, drive down costs, and reduce our dependence on foreign markets for oil. Seems that four years ago, Obama ran on reducing dependence on foreign oil. Now he’s spiking measures that would help us work toward that goal.

Pretty odd decision-making there, Mr. President.

It would be almost fitting it Obama’s first term lived under the threat of terrorist actions from Iran; it would cement the final piece in the puzzle that patterns his failed presidency after Jimmy Carter’s.

“In light of the realization of the divine promise by almighty God, the Zionists and the Great Satan (America) will soon be defeated,” Khamenei said recently. Although similarly named, he is not to be confused with Carter Administration nemesis, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei, who died in 1989. Khamenei was his successor.

One doesn’t hear from Khamenei often as he frequently prefers to speak through Iranian President Achmadinijad, who faithfully delivers such death-threats against the West. With the raising of his profile, one has to wonder if a future attack is imminent.

Unless you’re US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in which case you just throw up your hands and say, fatalistically, “You can’t overthrow them all.” Great attitude, St. Hillary! Next you’ll declare cd replication a bigger threat to western society than a nuclear Iran. Nice job.

Of course, next to Utah, Nevada boasts one of the most robust Mormon populations in America, so the victory should not come as a surprise. Romney is Mormon.

That said, if Romney ends up owing his victory to western-state conservatives and Mormons, it may bode well for a potential Romney presidency, pulling him to campaign and govern more to the right than he was able to as governor of Massachusetts. And that would be a good thing.

Only five states have spoken so far, and there are no signs that Gingrich, Ron Paul, or Rick Santorum plan to drop out any time soon. However, that’s healthy for the process; politics is not pro wrestling and does down operate under tap and die rules.
