I’m sure that the president will get right on it, just as soon as he finishes his latest round of golf.
You know, I’ll bet that Bobby Jindal hasn’t hit the links once in the past couple months.
One of the most insane things is the EPA not allowing the ships to clean the water, because they only remove ninety-plus percent of the oil. This is bureaucracy run amok. The president could fix it with the stroke of a pen. I wonder why he doesn’t?
The Virginia Congressman, just having beamed in from some other planet, says “the economy has recovered“:
In fact, in the last six months more jobs were created than Bush was able to generate in eight years, Chris. People don’t understand that, the economy has recovered.
Guess he picked a bad week to keep huffing glue.
Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth, Rick Santelli goes off on another righteous rant, and says to “stop spending.”
Here’s to that. Hope it stirs the folks up again, though he should have waited until closer to November. Of course, I suspect there’s plenty more where that came from.
…than the alternative, Mr. Vice President.
And they called Dan Quayle stupid.
I think that pretty much sums up this administration’s approach to governance. Fortunately, there’s a federal judge who is willing to call it like it is, and defend the constitution.
Cavuto: “Where did you get your degree? At a baking school?”
Blackwell: “You’re an a**hole.”
There’s an interesting story on it over at Space News.
I know Keith pretty well. He’s a good guy, and will try very hard to make this happen. And I think that it will happen a lot faster (and for much much less cost) than Ares I/Orion would have.
Since the beginning of the recession (roughly January 2008), some 7.9 million jobs were lost in the private sector while 590,000 jobs were gained in the public one. And since the passage of the stimulus bill (February 2009), over 2.6 million private jobs were lost, but the government workforce grew by 400,000.
I think it’s exactly what they wanted to happen. Have to keep those public union people employed so they can keep providing the campaign cash. Especially when they can pass laws to shut down the opposition.
I first saw this over three months ago, but it’s now on Youtube.
And for those interested in private space, this may be one of the first movies to be produced.
It looks like they dropped it today, or recently.
It’s been six months since the roll out. They’ve made a lot of progress. It’s a real rocketplane now. Or at least airplane — not sure about the status on the hybrid motor.
[Update late afternoon]
I am reliably informed that it was not the real thing, but a model that some of the Virgin guys were flying in the parking lot this morning. The day will come, though. They’ve been doing captive-carry flights. At some point, they’ll have to drop the bird.
