Even his fellow Democrats are giving up on him:
“The Democratic party is like a wedding party with the common goal of getting to the ceremony on time,” a former Democratic congressman told me. “There is a caravan of cars, but the lead car is driven by a guy who is weaving in and out of traffic and is dangerous to the other cars behind him. Do you follow the guy you agreed to follow, or do you make your own way to the wedding? More and more people are leaving the caravan.”
Ouch.
Eric Berger has Part 3 of his series up now:
Working with engineers at Johnson Space Center, as well as five other field centers, and using same tools NASA uses to estimate costs, Miller says, “We found we could put astronauts on the moon within a decade, inside the existing budget.”
The plan used the commercially available Delta IV Heavy rocket to conduct a steady stream of missions to the lunar surface, allowing humans to begin tapping into the moon’s resources.
“We briefed it to all the key NASA human spaceflight centers, giving them a chance to challenge the conclusion,” Miller said. “I thought it was a tremendous result for human spaceflight. We could have a plan that flies early and flies often.”
NASA never published the study and Miller’s contract wasn’t renewed.
Not enough opportunities for graft.
It’s not happening as a result of ObamaCare.
I’m also worried about a slowdown in innovative medical tech. And of course, a lot of people predicted it.
…the worse they behave.
No surprise at all. But this will be just one more place in which the Left is anti-science.

Why the “liberals” (that is, the leftists) are panicking. The tide of science is turning against them.
The blog is closing down.
It will be missed.
How will they change America?
It may be as revolutionary as cars themselves were.
Some thoughts from Judith Curry, who’s been subjected to quite a bit of bullying herself.
Will it expand the crisis?
It sure won’t help.
Hates Obama. And thinks he’s a “socialist in disguise.” And Brad Pitt is an idiot, apparently.
It’s not a very good disguise.
Australia finally ends it. Good on them.

“Aussies hated having their energy prices raised so the elites could feel good about themselves.” But Californians remain idiots.
