    Democrats fear that they'll get slammed in the midterm elections because of Obamacare, with 54 percent of Americans favoring repeal, and an even higher percentage considering the thing a bureaucratic mess.

  • A Portland, Oregon, police officer's error in loading lethal rounds into a bean bag shotgun, and then firing them at William Kyle Monroe, will cost the city $2.3 million, if the city council approves. Monroe survived, but was left permanently disabled.
  • Senator Cruz won't be running for president after all. So says he.
  • Hiring and manufacturing … Not looking so good.
  • During a military execution of 13 people in Libertopia Somalia, one of the soldiers carrying out the execution was himself killed by a stray bullet.
  • A Minnesota public school ended up in federal court after school administrators claimed an absolute right "to prohibit student speech" even before and after school hours.
