It’s not happening as a result of ObamaCare.
I’m also worried about a slowdown in innovative medical tech. And of course, a lot of people predicted it.

The More People Are Exposed To Socialism
…the worse they behave.
No surprise at all. But this will be just one more place in which the Left is anti-science.
[Update a few minutes later]
Why the “liberals” (that is, the leftists) are panicking. The tide of science is turning against them.
Durham Wonderland
The blog is closing down.
It will be missed.
Academic Bullying And Climate Science
Some thoughts from Judith Curry, who’s been subjected to quite a bit of bullying herself.
Angelina Jolie
Hates Obama. And thinks he’s a “socialist in disguise.” And Brad Pitt is an idiot, apparently.
It’s not a very good disguise.
The Carbon Insanity Down Under
Australia finally ends it. Good on them.
[Update a couple minutes later]
“Aussies hated having their energy prices raised so the elites could feel good about themselves.” But Californians remain idiots.
The Apollo Cargo Cult
Over at USA Today, I say that after four lost decades, it’s time to end it:
After over four decades, it is time to stop awaiting a repeat of a glorious but limited and improbable past. We must, finally, return to and embrace the true future, in which the solar system and ultimately the universe is opened up to all, with affordable, competing commercial transportation systems, in the way that only Americans can do it.
I’ll have some other stuff up later, in other venues.
Another Anniversary On Sunday
It’s not just the first moon landing. It will also be the 21st anniversary of the death of Vince Foster. We may never know for sure who killed him.
3-D Printing In Space
Has it been overhyped?
Probably some, but it is going to be a very powerful tool.
An Open Letter To Eric Holder
No, it’s not about race:
What you don’t understand, Mr. Holder, is that there are many of us who are trying to take our country back—back from a group of politicians who seem intent on our destruction as a pillar of strength and liberty in the world. Many of your fellow citizens are dismayed by your conduct, and our anger has nothing to do with the color of your skin.
You are the first attorney general in the history of the United States to be held in contempt of Congress. This had nothing to do with your skin color, and everything to do with your failure to explain how the United States government provided guns to Mexican drug cartels that were eventually used to kill Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in 2010. This story may have disappeared from the headlines, but many of your fellow citizens are still upset our federal government would ever give guns to foreign criminals. Compounding this tragic error, neither you nor anyone else in the administration has explained what happened the night Terry lost his life. All we really know is that he was at the wrong end of a gun you approved handing over to drug dealers.
And our outrage here has nothing to do with “racial animus.” This is about personal accountability, and your failure to provide us with answers.
The black guy who wrote that is obviously a racist. Or something.
