“…are coming out of the woodwork.”
I’m not surprised. The conventional wisdom is that the president is going to have a huge war chest, but he’s having trouble raising funds, and I think it’s likely that the Republicans will outspend the Dems this cycle. As a commenter over there notes, business is sitting on trillions of cash, waiting for a president and Congress that won’t make non-stop war on it. There will be an economic boom next year if the election goes the right way.
Amy Shira Teitel is noticing it as well. It’s too bad that only the space media understand it. I’d sure like to get someone like Sixty Minutes on it.
November can’t come soon enough.

The official “apologizes” for the comment. That’s OK — we know what he really thinks now. It was a Kinsleyan gaffe aka a Freudian slip.
Over at PJMedia this morning, I have some thoughts on why “liberals” are unable to understand conservatives, but not the reverse. I like the one comment over there that a simple explanation is that everyone remembers being a teenager, but that the leftists don’t know what it’s like to be grown up.
So it turns out that George Zimmerman is black.
This is what happens when you have race mongers and baiters like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the black caucus and the “liberals” in the media driving the national conversation. And I hold them responsible for this:
“During the course of the investigation, we learned that the crime was related to the victim’s race,” Reynolds said.
Conklin said Hayes told investigators that he was angry about the Martin shooting and decided to attack the victim because of his race. Reynolds would not comment if the crime had anything to do with the Martin shooting.
This has been as big a case of journalistic malpractice as the Duke lacrosse affair.

A second producer at NBC has been fired (assuming, of course, that a first one was — we still don’t have a name).
Does it violate the law?
No, but Tanja Masson-Zwaan has been tweeting that it’s now time to start setting up the “regime” under the Moon Treaty to redistribute the wealth:
Possibly parties to Moon agrmt 79 must start talks about regime governing exploitation, as it seems ‘about to become feasible’ 2/2 #spacelaw
Personally, I think it means that it’s now time to have the Senate actively repudiate it by vote, to indicate that we will have no part of that nonsense.
…with much to be modest about.
Of course, given his talent for appointing rank incompetents like Janet Moronitano and Tim “Can’t Figure Out My Taxes” Geithner, maybe he would be better than them.
James Lovelock doesn’t think that we’re quite as doomed as he used to. So Gaia’s OK for now.
Yes you are. All of a sudden, for some reason, Jon Stewart doesn’t think that people should be making dog jokes.
[Update a few minutes later]
Here’s another partisan media hackdistinguished journalist who liked talking about dogs until he didn’t like talking about dogs.
I have some thoughts on recent events over at Open Market.
