The Broken Window fallacy...

Two minutes and forty-one seconds to educate you out of Obama-mania on "jobs".

John Stossel nails it, and YOU have been educated, thanks to the Coyote Kid, who gets a tip of the hat.

Guest Blogger

I have summarily promoted the Coyote Kid to Guest Blogger status, since he provides me with so much blogging material. I have been a guest out in his home in SW South Dakota, and he is a retired military guy like myself, and a retired cop like myself (only he made Lieutenant before he retired, and I put in 25 years as a Patrolman). He is an Armorer (by profession, as he did that for both the cop and military shops). He does well with a computer, too. The only thing he doesn't want to do is a blog, so he is satisfied to let me do the writing or editing. I don't mind that, since his ideas are original and his understanding of them correct.

Here, without further ado, are the Coyote Kid's smart ideas of the day:

• Train yourself in CPR. Yes, most of us older types WERE trained in chest-compression/rescue-breathing CPR, but it is difficult to do unless you practice, and I'll be the first to admit I haven't worked out on Resusci-Annie in years. Here is the NEW CPR, chest compressions only. Learn it (or re-learn it). BTW, unless I miss my guess, that is AZ Gov Jan Brewer introducing it, and she is MY idea of a Stateswoman.
• Here is a Powerpoint of black-and-white photos of Africa. Most are professionally retouched, but all are excellent. Enjoy. Download Africa in B&W
• Here is a link to previous Hollywood "A-list" stars and their cars. Just search on "stars and cars" and you will find many more such lists, most of them much more current as to time.
• Now, go take this civics test. I have to report that I missed two out of the eleven, which means there are few more involved in the news than I (but not many).
  

Now, go below the fold where the Kid's best comm of the day resides. You might have guessed it's NSFW...
