Looks like John Hindraker is trying to get himself sued. Of course, he’s a lawyer.
And speaking of Professor Mann, Steve McIntyre has eviscerated him yet again.

Who Owns The Moon?
Yet another space property rights piece, at The New Republic. My take is here and here.
Nice to see that the latter is what you get if you’re feeling lucky on Google with “space property rights.”
Virgin Galactic
Jeff Foust has the latest on their prospects for getting to space this year.
Cholesterol Numbers
Is it time to stop worrying about them?
I think so. I still measure it, but I don’t really care about total. Since I went partially paleo, my ratio’s good, and my triglycerides are almost unmeasurable. I’m sure as hell not going to take statins to get it down.
The Fruits Of ObamaCare
It used to be that Canadians headed south of the border to get quality care. Now Californians are doing it.
Sympathy For The Devil
There’s something about Harry:
The Editors would like to extend our condolences to Senator Harry Reid and his family as they go through this difficult time. While we can only guess at the exact nature of the psychiatric or neurological trauma the Senate majority leader has suffered, we assume that it is severe, judging by his symptoms, the most prominent of which is his new habit of taking to the Senate floor to deliver speeches that sound like they ought to be coming from a man wearing a bathrobe in front of a liquor store in Cleveland.
Seriously, I do wonder if the blows he took to the head as a boxer have finally caught up with him. If I were a Democrat, I’d be mortified to have this creature running the senate.
The Russian Lunar Base
Any government program that has a plan for fifteen years out shouldn’t be taken very seriously. If they really wait that long, they’ll likely be greeted by the concierge at a Bigelow facility. You don’t build a “colony” with a humungous expensive expendable launch system.
The Minimum Wage
No, Joe, it didn’t help end the Depression. It extended it.
Inspectors General
Are under systematic attack by this administration.
Well, of course. IGs are very inconvenient when you are systematically corrupt.
[Early afternoon update]
Post title has been corrected. As with attorney’s general, “Inspector” is the noun, “General” is the adjective. Which is why it’s a terrible error to call them (for example) “General Holder.”
Obama’s Latest Lie
Gets four pinocchios.
Why does anyone believe anything he says any more?
[Late-morning update]
¿QUIÉN ES EL MENTIROSO MÁS GRANDE?
When it comes to lying, Bill Clinton may still be considered the reigning champion, and there is certainly a strong case to be made on his behalf. Considering the deep lies of Obamacare, however, and the lack of conscience Obama demonstrated in promulgating them in order to get the law enacted, Obama’s right to the title really ought to be recognized by now.
If he were a Republican, it would be.
