Jeff Foust has an article at today’s issue of The Space Review on the recent meeting to remember the failure on the tenth anniversary, with a lot of discussion of the topics of my book.

ObamaCare Versus The Unions
The Democrats’ lies are eventually going to catch up with them, and probably before the next election.
A Whistle-Blowing Scientist
The lawsuit filing provides a troubling description of how fraud was used to impose draconian environmental regulations on California enterprises, which is one of the many reasons why California is deemed by CEOs nationwide as the “worst place to do business”.
As he notes, “liberals” only like whistleblowers when they blow the whistle on conservatives.
Europe
Late last night, after markets closed for the weekend, following an extended discussion the European finance ministers announced their “bailout” solution for Russian oligarch depositor-haven Cyprus: a €13 billion bailout (Europe’s fifth) with a huge twist: the implementation of what has been the biggest taboo in European bailouts to date – the impairment of depositors, and a fresh, full blown escalation in the status quo’s war against savers everywhere.
This is not going to end well.

OK, they’ve got the cover up now, and the reviews look good. I just told them to take them off the web site.
Dear Paul Krugman
…”I’ll see you in Hell.”
The Ümlaut
I just discovered an interesting blog on economics, innovation, society and public policy. The current top two posts are thoughts on whether “liberals” or conservatives are more anti-science, and whether or not Paul Krugman is meta-rational.
A Black Conservative
I’m always amused by people who are absolutely convinced that Rush Limbaugh is a racist hatemonger, despite the fact that they have never actually listened to him.
Obama’s Second-Term Troubles
…have already begun:
According to the Washington Post-ABC News poll, half of independents express a negative opinion of the president’s performance; just 44 percent approve. A majority of Americans give Obama negative marks on handling the economy. And the president has only a four-percentage-point lead over Republicans when it comes to whom the public trusts more to deal with the economy.
This is clearly not where a president who is less than two months into his second term wants to be. But in some respects, it’s not all that surprising. Mr. Obama, while he won his contest with Governor Romney fairly handily, was not a particularly popular president for most of his first term–and the key elements of his agenda are decidedly unpopular.
He didn’t win in November because people voted for him — he managed to scare them into voting against Romney, or not bothering to vote.
The Public State Of Ignorance
Sarah Hoyt says we should hope that more people don’t feel the need to become politically aware.
