I find it hard to take seriously pronouncements of government plans to do something almost two decades from now. That’s a long time, and a lot of things can happen, both technologically and politically, to either accelerate it or put it off even further. I continue to think that the first mission back to the moon will be private, because unlike the government, there are people in that sector who actually want to do it, and they have the resources.

Radical Feminists
Shakers without the furniture.
Yes, at least the Shakers were productive.
The Double Standards Of The New York Times
So what is the message Christians should take from this? That it’s time for them to start threatening to behead people?
Who Wrote The Heartland Memo?
The preponderance of evidence indicates that it was Gleick. That’s certainly the way I’d bet. As commenters note, is this enough to justify a lawsuit?
ObamaCare
It’s going to cost almost twice as much as they said it would.
Yeah, I’m shocked too. And I still think the estimate is low.
[Update a while later]
Here’s a new post by Phil Klein on the revised CBO estimates. Of course, as we said a that time, CBO estimates are always garbage in garbage out, and a lot of garbage went into it while it was being debated.
[Update a couple minutes later]
More on the lies from Guy Benson, with a bonus mention of the growing deficits, which means that there will be another debt-ceiling fight in the fall, before the election, if not sooner. Hilarious, considering all of the lies and charades the White House went through last summer to avoid that.
What If George Bush Had Done That?
Political misses a few in this piece. Like what if George Bush had been president when his Justice Department ran guns to Mexico that killed Mexicans and a border agent, and then stonewalled Congress on it?
“If You Like Your Plan…”
“…you can keep your plan.” Wait, what?
What kind of fools really believed him when he said this? Was he so stupid as to believe it himself, or was he just lying? And which is worse?
More fodder for campaign ads in the fall.
Tolerant “Liberals”
Based on a lot of personal experience, I find the results of this study completely unshocking.
The Apollo 11 Landing Site
Jeez, another fake photo. I see they’re just trying to maintain the fiction that humans walked on the moon. I mean, c’mon! You can’t even see stars in that picture. You’d think they’d at least try to photoshop them in.
[Update in the afternoon]
Wow, are my commenters gullible. They really believe this. Come on, people, just look at the lighting and the shadows! Obviously fake, just like the landing itself. And that story about the astronaut punching out that truth teller.
The Heart Of Darkness
