…and the skeptic won, of course. All these true believers are natural marks.

The Yankee Institute Weighs In On Space Policy
There’s an interesting piece over at the American Enterprise Institute today bemoaning our lack of progress in space, but it misdiagnoses the problem. I may have an analysis over at Open Market later.
Is Barack Obama Merely Incompetent?
Or is he evil?
There’s no reason he can’t be both, of course, but if he is, it’s better to have an incompetent evil president than a competent one. Anyway, Kevin Williamson has some good advice for the Republicans.
Don’t Pass The Buck, Roscosmos
Some criticism of Popovkin’s weird conspiracy theory.
The DHS “Privacy Violations”
Um, guys? When you post something on Twitter or your blog, you shouldn’t have any expectations of privacy. #DontUnderstandInternets
Tea Party Leaders To The DNC
They can’t. Lies are all they have.
Why We Love To Loathe John Edwards
It’s science. Of course, I always thought he was a duplicitous douche. The Democrats should be ashamed that he even came close to being vice president.

Doing The Math
The latest Afterburner from Bill Whittle:
Good Night, Moonshot
Matt Welch has some thoughts on the mission creep of the “If we can put a man on the moon” analogy. It’s also an introduction to this month’s issue of Reason magazine, which is focused on space. It’s on the stands and in the mail now, and other pieces in it, including my own, and contributions from Greg Benford and Bob Zubrin, will be going on line over the next couple weeks.
[Update a while later]
I have some related thoughts over at Open Market.
