The darkness of collective punishment.
Leftists are completely tone deaf to this kind of thing, but as I wrote earlier, I think those four words sealed his fate this fall.

My Phone Bill
So, I’m paying twenty bucks a month to Verizon to be able to tether to my phone. Does this ruling apply to me? Or is it only for 4G users? Guess I’ll have to read it to see, and even then I still may not know (particularly since they may appeal it).
“The Goal Is Mars”
An interview with Elon Musk. I’ll be talking about private space and Mars in Pasadena on Friday at 2 PM. By the way, here’s an IO9 article on the topic from a couple months ago.
Suborbital Markets
There’s a House subcommittee hearing on the topic this morning (afternoon on the east coast), with some interesting witnesses.
Milton Friedman
Happy one hundredth birthday! It’s a shame he’s not around to see it. Of course, if he were, he’d be pretty appalled by this administration (not to mention many Republicans).
[Update a few minutes later]
More from Thomas Sowell, and Kevin Williamson on the “economics of love.”
The Farm Bill
Could it die in the House?
I hope so. In fact, I hope there is never another one.

Link was broken — should be fixed now.
Rahm Emanuel, Chick-Fil-A
…and the easy slide into fascism.
To be fair to Rahm, he was already mostly there.
“Bin Laden Is Dead And GM Is Alive”
But GM is on life support.
I think this has the makings of a good Romney campaign ad.
[Update a while later]
Obama touts GM success as its market share declines along with its stock price.
Clark Lindsey’s Final Post
Congratulations on the new home for Space Transport News.
The US Economy
…is not doing fine:
Earlier this year, the Obama White House predicted the economy would grow 3% in 2012. Today’s GDP report shows that ain’t going to happen. The Commerce Department said the economy grew at an anemic 1.5% annual rate from April through June, after a revised 2.0% in the first quarter. It now seems likely the economy will be lucky to grow at 2% for the entire year. And that’s after growing just 1.8% last year.
Check out the comparison between the Reagan recovery and the Obama “recovery.”
At this point, I think it’s fair to say that Obama built that.
