When airspace over the National Mall is restricted, sometimes nature provides a flyover anyway:

This video is from a practice run on Friday for an air show in Canada — it’s about as close as a pilot can get to “buying the farm” as possible, and he’s reportedly doing okay.
I watched the video, but it wasn’t until I turned up the volume that I realized the song being played [...]

Get out the aerosol hairspray you were instructed to stop using in the mid-1980’s and start spraying again with reckless abandon — the disappearing ozone layer that was giving eco-wieners the runs has been healing and re-appearing, but naturally there’s a downside to that:
While the hole in the Earth’s protective ozone layer is slowly healing, [...]

President Obama has said his administration is “singularly focused” on the oil spill in the Gulf.
Sure looks like the President is:

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air added up the “singular focus”:
–Two days of media events (White House Correspondents Dinner and a tête a tête with Bono)
–Three days of fundraising
–Four commemorations (graduations, Cinco de Mayo, etc)
–Six days [...]

Rudy Giuliani was on Hannity last night and had a good point after being asked about the Obama administration’s response to the oil spill:
It couldn’t be worse. This would be an example if you taught Leadership 101 of Exactly NOT what to do. Minimize it at first. Two days after or three days after it [...]

Now that the oil leak has been plugged, we can now move on to the next step of figuring out legal liability. Check that — the leak hasn’t been plugged, but send in the lawyers anyway!
VENICE, La., May 31 (UPI) — U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder plans to visit areas affected by the gulf oil [...]

The Wall Street Journal story on Obama’s touch & go to the Gulf region earlier today caught me with the headline, “Obama gets lesson on tar balls,” but there’s also evidence contained therein that the president’s been hanging around Bill Clinton too much:
New York Times reporter Jackie Calmes was skeptical: “Can you be sure these [...]

I’ll be out the rest of the day, and over the weekend you’ll probably be able to catch me at Michelle Malkin’s site — and I’ll be here when possible too.
Until I get back, here’s a rather unsettling discussion between two oil industry experts on what’s being done, what hasn’t been done that should have [...]

New Orleans — PNN: President Obama has not only travelled to Louisiana to monitor the progress of the effort to “plug the damn hole,” but the White House announced that the president is personally swimming to the site of the leak to negotiate with, and more than likely apologize to, the spilling oil.
Amid much heroic [...]

It’s a nutcase “Twin Spin” today, brought to you by the uber-corpulent harpies of Code Pink — so named because of all the Pepto Bismol you have to swill after seeing them in bathing suits, smeared in oil, wrapped in fish nets and protesting in front of a BP office.
Somebody roll these things back [...]
