Dumb Things
Why the president keeps saying them. I love the political cartoon.
Is NASA Overrated?
Some thoughts from Alan K. Henderson.
My general experience is that most conservatives who admire NASA don’t really know much about it.
WW II Propaganda Posters
Here’s an interesting collection. I like the one urging people to car pool. What would today’s equivalent be: when you ride alone, you ride with George Bush?
The Haters, The Homers…
…and the Boomers. Thoughts on space advocacy.
Stop Criticizing The President
I agree. Every minute spent on the links is a minute not wrecking the country. I wish he’d do it more. I’d even double his salary if he wouldn’t do anything else.
The Feeling Is Mutual
James Cameron says that climate-change skeptics are “swine.”
[Tuesday morning update]
Well, he can dish it out, but he can’t take it:
A real shame [he chickened out of the debate]. Would have been fun to watch the reaction to him calling skeptics “swine” to their faces, for once. Exit question: Forgive and forget? C’mon — he has important things to do this week!
Bwwaaack, buck buck buck buck, Bwwwaaaaack.

But Don’t Say He’s Not A Moderate
The wisdom of Imam Rauf:
“The United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims.”
This is a disgusting attempt at moral equivalence.
An Opinion Leader
Support for the Ground-Zero-Plus-Two mosque plummets after Obama weighs in. “If he’s for it, I’m a’gin it,” isn’t generally a good basis for policy opinions, but in his case, you can do worse.
The War That Broke Us
Not.
Just a reminder to people like the ignorant idiots in the Space Politics comments section as to why NASA’s budget is almost certainly going to take a whack from the coming Deficit Commission. It’s not the war, stupid. And note who was in charge of the Congress (and then the White House) when it skyrocketed. Note also that even with the dreaded “tax cuts,” it was declining, indicating that it wasn’t a revenue problem, or at least not one caused by the lower tax rates.
