Some thoughts from George Will.
It was never on a very firm foundation.
Which Way To Space?
Joel Achenbach writes about “old” space versus new.
The Dishonesty Of Obama
“They’re lying about everything now.”
They have to. It’s all they have.
The Hunger Games
Five reasons childish leftists (if that’s redundant) love it.
The Ratchet Of History
The Democrats just nuked it.
I was thinking that myself yesterday, though not in as quite vivid terms.

Six questions about the Senate’s nuclear winter.

The Senate goes MAD.
Mannsuit Update
The government of Washington DC has joined the media organizations and ACLU in filing an amicus brief on our behalf, advocating for a speedy appeal of the refusal of our motions to dismiss. AFAIK, no one has done so on behalf of Mann.
The Human Heart
“…is one of the easiest organs to bioprint.”
Within a decade? I’d say “Faster, please,” but that seems pretty damned fast, and hopefully fast enough for me, given that I don’t have any current known problems in that regard.
The House That Jack Built
Deconstructed. Scroll down.
JFK
I don’t really have much to say about him, other than what I wrote about space policy, except that I think he is the most overrated president in American history. Not the worst, but definitely the most overrated. Actually, though, I’ll have to confess that he only regained that status in the past few weeks or so, because prior to that, for the past five years, Obama had the crown.
Computer Problems
I just put a new install of Fedora 20 (yes, I know it’s still beta) on a brand-new Western Digital 2T drive, and it boots into emergency mode. Here’s the final output of journalctl -xb:
[Update in the afternoon]
For anyone who’s interested, here is the output of of ‘journalctl -xb’ and here is dmesg.
[Update a couple minutes later]
Whoa! Now that I look through that enire output of journalctl, I see a lot of file system errors on the /home partition. Guess I’ll run e2fsck and see if that fixes it.
[Update a while later]
Welp, that was the problem. I ended up just doing a reinstall, and let Fedora decide how to partition. I’m not real happy with it, because I’m not sure that fifty gig is ultimately big enough for root and I don’t want to have to resize later, but at least it’s working now.
