Chief Roberts

We have a new (in more than one sense of the word–it’s depressing when the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is younger than me) Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Whew, that’s a relief. I knew he was born in 1955, but I assumed that it was after I was, since I have a January birthday. But it turns out he’s one day older than me…

Albion’s Seedling

Jim Bennett, author of the Anglosphere Challenge (among other things), has started a group blog on issues relating to the Anglosphere, both its past and its future. Among his co-bloggers there is “Lexington Green,” of the Chicago Boyz.

There are several interesting posts up already. In one, he asks who might be the UK’s Lincoln with a long interview with Liam Fox, who he thinks might be a potential candidate for the role. In another, he offers some advice for assimilation in the UK from America’s own history.

Go check it out, and bookmark or blogroll it. I suspect it will have some interesting commentary in future.

Two Words: Gray Goo

On 9/27 Tierney’s column in the New York Times (subscription required; the cheapest option is get home delivery and go on permanent vacation hold) again picked up the alt.space agenda of colonization. His advice, “If officials hope to get money for NASA’s new program of manned exploration, I suggest they go to Capitol Hill with a two-word sales pitch: gray goo.”

I second the sentiment that civilization protects and heals itself, but a rich planet can afford a stylish colony just in case the unthinkable happens.
