The Shuttle Is Retiring
“….why I’m glad.”
31/33
That was my score on this quiz. It really should have been 32 — I somehow misread the question on enemies during WW II, and read it as “allies.” And I accordingly was frustrated because none of the answers were correct (I just assumed that they meant the USSR instead of “Russia”). The only question I really missed (in terms of the actual knowledge, as opposed to misreading) was the one about the anti-Federalists. What’s dismaying, but not surprising, is how poorly not just the general public, but academics do. It would explain the disastrous results of many elections.

[Update a few minutes later]
Peripherally related: the new American revolution. This time, it’s against our self-appointed masters in the media. And the people are winning.
“Unexpectedly”
Thoughts on the useful idiots in the media and (more importantly and unfortunately) in the voting booths who really believed that electing a socialist law professor with zero business experience would actually result in an improved economy. He needs to get the return key repaired on his keyboard, though.
Peak Oil
…isn’t likely to happen any time soon.
Unless, of course, we keep in power people who want to see it happen.

The oil-fracking boom in south Texas.
That’s how you grow an economy. You produce stuff that (unlike, say, CFLs or high-speed rail) people actually want to buy.
NHow To Not Appear Crazy On The Internet
Good advice from Frank J. Some commenters over at Space Politics should read it.

The anti-Obama version.

Here’s a new and improved version. This is high-speed memetic evolution.
