The Grievance Mongers
If they think that this is going to earn them any sympathy, they shouldn’t expect it from me. I’ll bet that no one is allowed to wear yarmulkes, either, but you’d never see Orthodox Jews rioting over it. And shame on the New York Daily News for deceptive reporting.
“A Pretty Warped Sense Of Priorities”
The Tea Party in Space is starting to get attention from conservative media. We need to see more of this to forestall a space-policy nightmare like the return of Mike Griffin.
Alan Lichtman
Just for the record, I think he’s an idiot, but Megan McArdle poses an interesting question — how do Barack Obama’s reelection chances stack up against Herbert Hoover’s?
The Most Unfairly Vilified Person In America
Whenever someone claims that Sarah Palin takes the crown for this, I think of Dick Cheney.
Is It Really That Simple?
I await a credible alternate explanation. It is, after all, all part of the Chicago way.
Does It Really Matter That Much?
…what kind of airplanes Rick Perry flew? I haven’t seen Barack Obama pilot anything except a bicycle.
You Know What I Really Don’t Need?
Advice from Barack Obama on how to commemorate 911.
An Early Obama Letter
…confirms his inability to write:
Although a paragraph from this letter was excerpted in David Remnick’s biography of Obama, The Bridge, I had not seen the letter in its entirety before this week. Not surprisingly, it confirms everything I know about Barack Obama, the writer and thinker.
Obama was prompted to write by an earlier letter from a Mr. Jim Chen that criticized Harvard Law Review’s affirmative action policies. Specifically, Chen had argued that affirmative action stigmatized its presumed beneficiaries.
The response is classic Obama: patronizing, dishonest, syntactically muddled, and grammatically challenged. In the very first sentence Obama leads with his signature failing, one on full display in his earlier published work: his inability to make subject and predicate agree.
I am completely unsurprised by this. I think it at least partially explains why we aren’t allowed to see his transcripts.
Orbital Technologies
Here are some pretty pictures of their proposed space hotel. Still no explanation of how they get the price down below a million dollars (I don’t think anyone is going to get to orbit cheaper than SpaceX in that time frame, and they’re charging twenty million a seat). I also wonder when the “space tourism season” begins and ends. And where does it get its power, and how does it get rid of heat?
If you’re guessing I’m skeptical about this proposal, you’re correct.
