Note, not a lot of love for the union extortionists in comments.
[Update later morning]
In Wisconsin, it’s the unions versus the people.

Next: An Institute On Marital Fidelity
Bill Clinton is going to head up an Institute on Civil Discourse.
No, really.
[Update a few minutes later]
Per comments over there, I’m not the only person appalled that this “Institute” is being based on the false narrative that what happened to Gabby Giffords had anything whatsoever to do with civility in discourse.
A Call For Papers
Sort of. I’ve set up a new section of Competitive Space for HSF myth busting, but I haven’t had time to flesh out the pages, so I’m calling for suggestions, or drafts, that can be improved over time. Ideally, it would be as a wiki, but I don’t have time to figure out how to set one up right now. Instead, I’ll incorporate comments into the pages as they come in. Credit will be provided to contributors.
[Update on Wednesday morning]
For those wondering about the 404, I’ve taken the page down, because it wasn’t getting enough input to clean things up. I’ll just have to work on it myself and then inaugurate it again.
Launch-System Reusability
…and the ongoing policy insanity of completely ignoring the issue. A good essay by Stewart Money.

Make Libya A No-Fly Zone?
The Religion Of High-Speed Rail
Joel Kotkin follows up on Robert Samuelson. When will these religious fanatics understand that this makes no economic sense? Well, if this Congress doesn’t pull the plug on this lunacy, the next one (in even more dire financial straits) surely will.
On The UN’s Malevolence
…and the Obama administration’s impotence.
The Birchers were wrong about a lot of things, but not this one. Time to get out. Long past time.
Collective Bargaining In The Public Sector
The case against it.
Couldn’t Happen To A Nicer Guy
Khadaffi flees LibyaTripoli? I wonder if he had time to grab his female body guards (always seemed such an odd thing in such a misogynistic culture).
Anyway, let’s hope it’s so, though what replaces is always worrisome in a place like that. And my preference would have been incineration in the burning parliament. That would be a more fitting and permanent solution to that particular boil on the ass of humanity.

A reminder from Michael Totten of how awful he is.
It Is Not “President’s Day”
I agree. That absurd name elevates Buchanan, Pierce, the fascist dictator Wilson and the hapless Jimmy Carter (not to mention the present inhabitant of the White House) to the same supposed national esteem as George Washington. It’s absurd.
