Anousheh’s Flight
Keith Cowing has been critical of the overhyping of all the firsts. In that context, he has an interesting posting to her blog.
Bravo.

Space And Society
Dwayne Day has a good rundown on a conference I missed last week because I was attending one on the left coast.
The Mask Falls
Dick Morris writes that the public finally got to see the private Bill Clinton that those who worked for him saw. He also takes apart his disingenuous strawmen and falsehoods.
Apparently, the times that Clinton seems most angry and finger poking (“I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinski”) are the times that he’s most vociferously defending his lies.

Paul Sperry recalls his own encounter with an enraged Bill Clinton:
What happened over the next 10 minutes was nothing short of a “scene.” The party-goers collapsed in around us. I watched the blood rush to Clinton’s gargantuan face as he launched into a tirade against ex-Republican National Committee Chairman Haley Barbour, the FBI, Bob Dole and Republicans in general, similar to his Sunday attack on right-wingers and Fox News and Rupert Murdoch and Karl Rove during the Wallace interview. All the while, he tried to intimidate me by getting in my face, just as he did Wallace.
Clinton’s not just intellectually intimidating, he’s physically imposing. He’s tall (6 feet 2 inches) and big-boned. Luckily, I’m the same height and was able to stand toe-to-toe and eye-to-eye with him. I’ll never forget the maniacal look in his bloodshot eyes. There was a moment, fleeting, where I sensed he wanted to try to take a swipe at me. His volcanic temper, hidden so well from the public by his handlers, erupted less than 12 inches from my eyes.

Myrna Blythe says that Bill is Hillary’s biggest problem.
Islamophilia
Lileks condenses all of the foolishness of the multi-culti left on our war of cultures into one neat column:
See, the real problem is the West and its bluenose brigade, its Wal-Marts and Hummers and Big Gulp lifestyles. The Christianists, as some clever equivocators call them, are an impediment to Utopia as great as the terrorists. No less a philosopher than Rosie O’Donnell said so on “The View” recently, proclaiming Christian fundamentalists and Islamicists equal threats to America. They’re both judgmental
