I wish that it were true that this would doom Chicago Jesus’s reelection.
Unfortunately, the media is so deep in the tank for him that they’d get the bends if they came up before November.

Civil Society
…and Barack Obama’s war on it.
The Totalitarian Temptation
…as demonstrated by the Chick-fil-A episode. Also, five easy pieces of chicken.
What I find truly disgusting about this is the casual accusation of “hate.” There is nothing intrinsically hateful about believing in the traditional definition of marriage, any more than it is inherently racist to disagree with the president on policy, and there was nothing hateful in what Dan Cathy said. Certainly there are people who don’t like the president because they are racists, and there were probably people eating at Chick-fil-A last Wednesday because they do hate gays, but to tar everyone with that is odious demagoguery. Not to mention projection. In other words, business as usual for the fascist Left (if that’s not redundant).
The Tea Party
It’s a revolt against the “elites,” in the media, Hollywood, government and academia, who are unjustifiably elite only in privilege, not in competence or knowledge or wisdom. In those matters in fact, they are the opposite of elites.

Sorry for the lack of link. I’ve got it now.
Longevity
It’s not really a new story, but things continue to advance, and it’s a useful reminder, to plan to live a long time. Unfortunately, it’s not something that most pension planners or entitlements reformers are taking into consideration. It implies that Social Security and Medicare are even more broke than we think.
College and Education
They are not equivalent.
The Labor Market Depression
…continues. That graph really demonstrates how economically clueless the Dems were with the “stimulus.”
More CCiCAP News
Clark Lindsey is on top of it. I wrote a piece for Popular Mechanics, but I’m not sure when it will go up. I don’t have a lot of time to discuss it this morning, because I’m finishing up a presentation for the Mars Society meeting this afternoon.

Here’s my Popular Mechanics piece.
The War On Chick-Fil-A
Does anyone who favors gay marriage think that this, and antics like “kiss ins” really help their cause?
CCiCAP
Does Alan Boyle have a scoop?
SpaceX, Boeing and Sierra Nevada selected to receive money from NASA for future spaceships, NBC reports.
There were rumors that the announcement was delayed because the White House was unhappy with the selection. If true, many inferred from this that ATK was one of the winners. So if NBC has it right, that would imply that either the rumors weren’t true, or that NASA changed its mind as a result of White House unhappiness. In either event, ATK will be unhappy. As will its supporters in Congress.
[Update a couple minutes later]
It’s Alan Boyle. I think he’s probably got pretty solid stuff, which means that someone leaked.
