It’s dead, Jim.
Or if not, it’s mostly dead. I hope we can bring it back.

If you have forty minutes or so, watch Nina Teicholz.
Planting The American Flag On The Moon
Bob Zimmerman isn’t impressed with the Armstrong movie.
[Update late evening, before I drive up to West Palm Beach to pick up Patricia]
Some (sadly) hilarious thoughts and links from Jim Treacher.
[Sunday update]
OK, I see that Bob Zimmerman has had second thoughts.
I’m going to reserve judgment until I see the film. I think that the proximate cause of the uproar wasn’t the decision to leave out the flag planting, but the Canadian actor’s idiotic explanation of it. As I note in comments, the movie is a biopick of Neil Armstrong, not a history of Apollo, and his great achievement was not in planting a flag on the moon, but in simply being present on its surface.
Iran In Iraq
I could never understand why the Bush administration let Iran get away with so much. They were waging war on us (and have been since 1979), and the administration did essentially nothing. And then Obama came along and bent us over for them and didn’t even ask for lube. Thanks, Valerie!
Jobs “Americans Won’t Do”
Huh. Turns out there aren’t any. I suspect that immigrant gardeners are taking away a lot of jobs that young people used to do.
Lanny Davis
…walks back his claims about Trump and Russia.
“Right Of Return”
We are finally rejecting it for Palestinians. All it ever was was a right to destroy the state of Israel.
Terraforming Mars
John Strickland analyzes the terrible media coverage of that recent report, and points out (as I did at the time) that Mars isn’t a closed system.
