They laughed at Einstein, but they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

The Rise Of Newt
Some thoughts. Regardless of his other attributes, he would be the best president ever in terms of space policy, if he could get the congressional porkers under control.
The EU Proxy War
Fannie And Freddy
…led the mortgage market collapse. What a shocker.
Wall Street banks are not blameless for the financial crisis. But they were only responding to the incentives set up by the federal government. Ignoring this history will help no one.
Well, a lot of statists would like us to ignore it, so they can avoid justice.
“Sugar Coding”
…your home-schooled moron.
As is often the case, these people lack a sense of irony.
The Problem With Herman Cain
…isn’t just that he is clueless about space policy. After all, he’s clueless about most everything other than 9-9-9. The real problem is that none of the candidates, with one exception, are any better.
The Dynamics Of Closed-Loop Systems
…otherwise known as drinking their own bathwater.
Their Leader’s A Bitch
Seriously, is it possible to parody people who literally elect a border collie as their leader? Who had that in the betting pool?
Then again, beats Nancy Pelosi.
Matter
…and anti-matter:
There’s like 15 Denver Occupy people in the hallway screaming, surround by 30 bloggers mocking them & taking pics/video. #blogcon #blogcon11
I think they can take care of themselves. You don’t mess with conservative bloggers. You can follow the action here.

@Beregond: #BlogCon11 members have surrounded #OccupyDenver folks & are chanting “We want the dog!” (They elected a dog as thier leader.)
After a round of chanting “Breitbart!”, #blogcon11 is singing “Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye” to #OccupyDenver while waiting for police to arrive.
Several #occupyDenver protestors being arrested and escorted out of #blogcon11 now. Thank you Denver PD.
Dear God, somebody PLEASE tell me there’s video rolling of #OccupyDenver trying to crash #BlogCon11 @EdMorrissey
Dear #blogcon11 I hope you all have had your TB vaccinations.
#OccupyDenver just made their appearance. The smell got noticeably worse in a hurry. #BlogCon11
First videos of #OccupyDenver invading #BlogCon11 up in minutes.
@pinkelephantpun [Tabitha Hale, organizer] says hotel will ask #BlogCon11 to leave if there’s another lobby confrontation with #OccupyDenver people. #PANIC [Jeez, it’s not their fault.]
We and the rest of the #blogcon11 crowd just fought off #occupydenver like they were gnats. Well done all!
@diggrbiii I think basically #blogcon11 people are being asked to stay in conf room & not go out & confront #OccupyDenver if they come back.
I HAD ONE BY THE ANKLE, AND I KINDA FEEL LIKE I NEED TO SHOWER NOW. #BlogCon11

Aaaaannnnnddd…here’s the first video.
[Update]
“Who would have thought a movement with a clenched fist logo could turn violent? #OccupyDenver #BlogCon11”
“Overall, it looks like the occupy people at #blogcon11 were less annoying than the Paulbots at CPAC.”
“Everyone filming each other at #BlogCon11 is surreal ”
“Per @pinkelephantpun, #BlogCon11 folks advised to wear our nametags so hotel can tell us from occupiers (“go by the smell!” someone yelled)”

Here’s another account with more video.

They’ll have to fumigate the back seats of the patrol cars.

The Penn State Cover-Ups
It wasn’t just child molestation:
Although State Senator Piccola had written to Penn State President Spanier asking him to ensure that “the university must deploy its fullest resources to conduct an investigation of this case”, the Inquiry Committee decided that the investigation committee should not investigate three of the four charges “synthesized” by the inquiry committee and, as a result, despite the request of Piccola and others, no investigation was ever carried out Penn State on any of the key issues e.g the “trick… to hide the decline”, Mann’s role in the email deletion enterprise organised by Phil Jones or the failure to report adverse data which the House Energy and Commerce Committee had asked about (but not investigated by the NAS panel, whose terms of reference were sabotaged by Ralph Cicerone, President of NAS).
This latest malfeasance in Not-So-Happy Valley makes the whitewash of Michael Mann look even less credible.
