Her campaign web site is up.
Pretty impressive. If she’d run in 2010, she might have beaten Giffords, and Giffords wouldn’t have been at the Safeway that fateful day meeting constituents.

How Conservatives Suck
Bill Whittle counts the ways.
Citizens United
…and the inexcusable distortions of the case by the media. Well, Obama lied about it to at the SOTU.
NASA’s Mars Mess
Thoughts from Eric Berger. NASA is going to remain a mess until actual accomplishments in space become more important than targeted job preservation. And I don’t expect that to happen any time soon, at least with the current political leadership (and I think that Santorum is likely to be a very bad president when it comes to space policy, as will Mitt).
From Social Upheaval
…is great art made:
It is with the velocity of a giant squid and the sprawl of its erogenous arms that with water-wheels the leverage in any musculoskeletal appendage can move into positions within the time it would take the engine of filaments to accelerate the psychic mass of bodily understanding and construction for such a displacement to continue in different venues and as multiple in purpose as the simple machine of our vessel will allow toward the disappearance of a nexus like in infinite mirror games but with the ability to count each movement of the progression as it acts in mechanical, yet organic, jerking behind the dreamlike animals with their pink illusions that roll their wet bodies into our delicate systems
Yes, those college degrees were totally worth the money. Though I suspect that pharmaceuticals may have played a role.
Five Years Later
It’s been a brutal half decade.
Obama’s Amazing Energy Spin Machine
Thoughts on the administration policy mess. And the media will continue to help spin it, all the way to November.
The Latest Deadbeat Bailout
Thoughts on the latest insane interference in the housing market, from Charlie Gasparino and Kevin Williamson. Also this does is punish good behavior, and reward bad, with the inevitable consequences.
Glitter Bombing
…is a physical assault, and it should be treated that way.
[Update a few minutes later]
You’ll be as shocked as I am to learn that the assailant is a Democrat.
The Screwed Generation
Libertarian, not liberal. Actually libertarians are the true liberals. Most people who call themselves “liberal” are leftists who stole the term.
[Update a few minutes later]
OK, I just read through the whole thing, and this is a pretty confused and incoherent paragraph:
We still vote with our heart; it’s just in a slightly different place. We’d rather bring home our troops from overseas and save those lives while spending that money to establish a universal healthcare system that will save even more. This isn’t necessarily because we believe the government should take care of us, it’s because everyone deserves to be healthy and the powers that be before us mangled the system so badly that it’s becoming impossible to afford. This is an example of our generation trying to take care of our own as much as it is trying to create change. While the concept of universal healthcare may be defined as “liberal,” it’s a fairly libertarian approach of non-interventionism and personal rights that brings us there.
There is no way to do universal health care without a massive violation of liberty and personal rights, as we’re seeing already with ObamaCare, even before it goes into effect. This is a utopian fantasy, and there’s nothing libertarian about it.
