Will it be the free-market route to broader life extension?
The Next Dragon Flight
I would never have put money on their launching on February 7th, the current official target date, and now my instincts are confirmed with a brief release from the company:
In preparation for the upcoming launch, SpaceX continues to conduct extensive testing and analysis.
We believe that there are a few areas that will benefit from additional work and will optimize the safety and success of this mission.
We are now working with NASA to establish a new target launch date, but note that we will continue to test and review data. We will launch when the vehicle is ready.
Hard to know if that means a week delay, or a month, or more. But it’s definitely better not to rush it; it’s a very important mission for the future of affordable spaceflight.

…and the broken state of California and its political class:
The blue social model can’t produce great results anymore. If you want to think big, you can no longer think blue. This is Governor Brown’s problem in a nutshell. The political coalition that backs him cannot produce coherent and workable plans anymore. The greens, the unions, the planning bureaucrats, the mayors and so forth each bring so many requirements to the table that the only designs that make them all happy are so cumbersome and expensive that they cannot be built. The political imagination of the blue coalition can no longer visualize the future: it can only project its nostalgia ahead.
Jerry Brown is stuck in the sixties. What a tragedy that the Republicans can’t put up decent statewide candidates in California. And I very much fear that Mitt Romney will be Meg Whitman on a national scale.
The Hockey Stick
It’s all the fault of those “fossil-industry front groups,” of course.
How Could Newsweek…?
…be so dumb? Res ipsa loquiter.
Of course, they’ve been descending in intelligence for decades. This is just the end game.

Newsweek: Please stop reading me. I need some me time.
Class Warfare Rhetoric
The toxin is spreading. And it’s largely the fault of the Democrats, though Gingrich and Perry haven’t covered themselves in glory, either.

Did Newt Do Romney A Favor With His Bain Attacks?
It’s infuriating that Romney is being attacked from the left by supposed conservatives, while ignoring all of the legitimate attacks that could be made on him in the name of actual conservatism.
The True Value Of Free Enterprise
…isn’t about money or wealth. Hint: the first word of the phrase.
