In beautiful California. I agree with the commenter that the Congress should put harsh (and unacceptable to the lunatics in Sacramento) conditions on any bailout.

The War On Science
…by the left. When they accuse Republicans of this, it’s just one more case of projection. And if you consider economics a science, dismal or otherwise, their bellicosity knows no bounds.
Saving Hayek
…from people who think they’re saving Hayek.
Actually, I don’t think that even they think that’s what they’re trying to do.
A Paucity
Nick Gillespie wants to see more politicians crying.
I want to hear the lamentations of their women, when they aren’t women themselves.
Freudian Slip?
I don’t have any good way to grab the video, but I reran the segment several times on the DVR. On the “All-Star Panel” of Special Report tonight, in the second segment, A. B. Stoddard bit off the word “Teabaggers” when describing the affiliation of many incoming members of Congress. Just so you know where her head is. Color me unsurprised…
I hope someone will come up with video.
Stuck On A Train
This is apparently a real, and true email to the boss, from Down Under. It’s pretty funny, as long as it doesn’t happen to you. But perhaps he’s laughing about it now, too.

Here’s the news story.
An End To The Ethanol Scam?
Let’s hope so. It’s long overdue.

This seems related: EU biofuels program will increase carbon emissions.

A Pattern In Close Elections
Mickey notices one:
That’s eight Dem wins, zero GOP wins. I sense a pattern! And this is a Republican year. Shouldn’t the nailbiters be distributed fairly evenly between the parties? …
If anyone has an explanation for this apparent phenomenon, let me know. All theories—including paranoid and supernatural explanations—will be considered. It’s also possible that Politico is biased in its selections. … My own hypothesis is that the pattern results from a curse issued by Al Gore after he was declared the loser in Florida in 2000 …
With all due respect to my friend Mickey, I have an alternate theory…
As Hugh Hewitt wrote, if it’s not close, they can’t cheat. Having a simple majority isn’t enough with these crooks.
Billion-Wise, Ten-Billion Foolish
I agree with Clark Lindsey’s post title on the stunningly stupid news that the Deficit Commission has recommended axing Commercial Crew, except it will end up costing a lot more than ten billion. It’s pretty clear from the announcement that they don’t even understand the purpose, and that it would save NASA billions. In fact, they are unwittingly recommending ending NASA human spaceflight, and consigning us to continuing to be held hostage by the Russians for years. More thoughts later, here or elsewhere. All of the nonsense about this in the media over the past many months hasn’t helped, of course.

I have more extensive thoughts over at National Review On-Line.
