Like the Ex-Im Bank, this is another place the federal government could profitably be pared.

The Moon Treaty
Michael Listner says it isn’t dead yet.
In a couple weeks, I may be making an announcement that could help kill it, though.
The Party Of Corporatism
The GOP has to make a decision whether it’s going to continue to continue to accept the Democrats’ cronyism, or be the party of free markets. And yes, defunding the Ex-Im bank would be a nice first step. If people really want to buy Boeing airplanes, they’ll find the money.
A Commercial Space Reminder
You have one more day to call your Congressperson to get them to request full funding for commercial crew.
Fossil Fuels
What if they aren’t really “fossil” fuels? I’m skeptical on this, but maintain an open mind. If Gold is right, it’s a huge game changer, not just technologically, but politically. Of course, it will just send the carbon loons further around the bend.
High-Speed Rail
Proponents in California, getting desperate, are having to revise their appealing lies.
A Trade-Deficit Solution
There seems like a big market opportunity here. Put people to work by fishing, and sell the proceeds to China. You could do it canned, frozen and fresh. I know that when I was a kid growing up in Michigan we’d never eat carp, and considered them junk fish, though the blacks would eat them (and dogfish, too — I remember dogfish runs by the dam near our cottage on the Muskegon River, where people would just pull them out with nets and cover the banks with them). Not sure what the difference is between Asian carp and the native variety, or if it’s tastier. But the Asians definitely do know their carp (which is what koi and goldfish are).
Crowd Sourcing A Rocket Startup
Paul Breed is looking for ideas.

Why California Is Going Broke
Reason number 154,976: one third of all Americans on welfare live there.
[Update a while later]
California sounds a (slight) retreat in its ongoing war against arithmetic.
