I agree with John Kelly — they’re nothing to worry about, for a long time. As Clark Lindsey said a few days ago, all they’re doing is proving that they too can keep spaceflight expensive and rare.
I have to say, though, that most of the comments over there are (as is unfortunately typical) pretty ignorant.
Bibi Netanyahu is prepared to prevent it, even if Barack Obama (among others) isn’t:
“The leaders of the Allies knew about the Holocaust in real time,” Netanyahu said at the opening of a permanent exhibit called “Shoah” in Block 27 at the Auschwitz- Birkenau State Museum.
“They understood exactly what was happening in the death camps. They were asked to act, they could have acted, and they did not.
“To us Jews the lesson is clear: We must not be complacent in the face of threats of annihilation. We must not bury our heads in the sand or allow others to do the work for us. We will never be helpless again.”
But the administration continues to fantasize that the barrier to the “peace process” is homes on the West Bank, rather than that one side that wants to destroy the other, while the other side refuses to acquiesce to its own destruction.
Is it going out of business?
As late as 1981, Hollywood could still muster up enough energy to care what the audience thinks and want to please it. Today, the American moviegoer is anathema, particularly now that he’s no longer buying sufficient quantities of DVDs to support the lavish lifestyle of Hollywood elites, despite following the advice of Hollywood elites who told him to stop buying DVDs.
It certainly deserves to.
Now they want to know?
Maybe these Washington reporters should have found out who Obama was before they foisted him upon us. Instead anyone digging around trying to find out about his past were called racist. Yet now four and a half years into his term suddenly they want to know who the guy is? Thanks for asking, folks.
Some of us had him figured out in 2008.
Frank J. explains:
You have to remember that the bureaucrats in government are a fiercely tribal people who base all their beliefs on an extreme ideology of government power. How did we think they’d react when we threatened to tear down all they know over some concept they’ve never even heard of — math? Did we think they’d really welcome us as liberators when we tossed them all out into the private sector — a scary world that demands things they can’t even understand, like productivity? No, of course not. Instead they did what seems logical to them: Fight against the invaders threatening them while rallying behind their supreme religious figure, President Obama.
Clearly they had it coming.
Why it’s worse than the others.
And the others are pretty bad.
…and win a year in jail.
For a fourteen year old. Words fail. As Glenn says, tar and feathers.
It’s in a death spiral.
Let’s hope.
I think that the two big issues in the election next year will be ObamaCare repeal (and it will be much more sharply defined without Romney muddying the issue), and government corruption.
Things would have been quite different.
I’m not sure about this one, though:
Palin’s IRS would not ask groups seeking 501(c)4 status about their prayer life.
These are all careerists, and have been with the agency through Republican and Democrat governments. I can easily imagine that they’d try to do it. But in a Palin presidency, when she heard complaints, she wouldn’t ignore them, and would at least try to rein in the bureaucracy, instead of encouraging it, as Obama has. And of course, in a Palin presidency, there would have have been a need for the Tea Party to arise.
Regardless of what one thinks about the legality of the NSA surveillance, it has gotten peoples’ attention in a way that none of the other abuses of power have.
