Social Insecurity
The Homer Simpson approach. As Paul notes, the program is both fiscally and morally bankrupt.
Our Suicidal Government
A warning from Robert Samuelson. I wouldn’t mind if the government committed suicide, if it wasn’t so determined to take the rest of us with it.
The Debt-Limit Fight
Why it will be different than the one we just went through.
The Window For Government Human Spaceflight Is Closing
Jeff Foust has an article at The Space Review in which he repeats his spoken remarks on Saturday in Phoenix. It includes quotes the same day from me and Jeff Greason.

I have some thoughts on tomorrow’s anniversaries, over at the Washington Examiner.
The Razor’s Edge

It is beautifully (and misleadingly) green here right now.
The Higher-Education Bubble
Thoughts from Peter Thiel.
Ann Arbor Follies
Should students have to pay to get a newspaper they don’t want to read? I know Pinch is in trouble, but this reeks of desperation.

The Democrat War On Science
Today, we have a pair of California airheads, who are unfortunately elected representatives. First, we have Barbara “Don’t Call Me Ma’am” Boxer, who thinks that carbon dioxide is a pollutant, and then we have Lois Capps, who thinks that global warming is a bigger threat to humanity than AIDS, malaria and pandemic flu.
No one tell Chris Mooney.
The Purple Health Care Plan
I haven’t read it, but it can’t be worse than ObamaCare.
