Maybe, but I think that Pacific Northwest and the Front Range may give them a run for their money. The sad thing is that it’s probably not LA. Other than SpaceX, not a lot of it here.
The War On Women
…by the Democrats.
It’s kind of like their war on blacks.
[Update mid afternoon]
“We’ll treat you like dirt, but at least you get to kill your unborn children.”
Obama’s Economy Pivot
It’s over just as it begins.
Hey, he made some speeches. What more do you want?
Obama’s Bubble
How to get him out of it.
Good luck with that. After a lifetime of being a hot-house plant, I don’t think he’d survive outside of it. Anyway, I don’t agree that the problem with the president is that he doesn’t press the flesh with enough people. Meeting with crowds wouldn’t break through his narcissism and unjustified arrogance.
We Won’t Allow You To Protect Yourself
…but we have no responsibility to protect you, either. Seems like New York’s gun laws are ripe for a Second-Amendment lawsuit via Heller.
Hail Hillary!
Get ready for the disgusting biopics:
What did surprise me was that the series will cover none of her life before the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which took place five years into her husband’s second term as president and when Hillary was already 51 years old. It’s as if her first half-century will be airbrushed away, along with the many scandals that dogged her in those decades.
Oh, John, didn’t you hear? That’s old news.
And Hillary Clinton is no Diane Lane.
As Glenn says, maybe we should take a page from the Left’s playbook, and do a sponsor boycott.
[Update a while later]
Suggestions for the mini-series title.
The “Phony” Scandals
The scandals are actually very real. It’s the recovery that’s phony.
The War On Self Defense
…and the ongoing media lies and insanity about it. It’s also part of the Left’s war on blacks (as always) ostensibly in the name of blacks.
Post Graduate Degrees In Education
North Carolina is no longer going to automatically reward teachers for getting them.
This is great news, given how worthless both they, and education degrees in general, are. It’s bad news for schools of education, though. Which is good news for the rest of us, particularly school kids.
Extrasolar Space Law
Transterrestrial reader (and occasional commenter) Laura Montgomery has what appears to be an interesting new SF book
She writes:
I noticed that you’ve mentioned an independent author from time to time at Transterrestrial, and thought I’d let you know about my own attempts along those lines. I’ve published on Kindle and other ereaders The Sky Suspended.
It’s bourgeois, legal science fiction with a hearty helping of space policy wonkery.
The short version of the blurb is:
A generation has passed since asteroid scares led the United States to launch its first and only interstellar starship. The ship returns and announces the discovery of another Earth. People are star-struck, crowds form in Washington, DC, and a boy from Alaska and two lawyers grapple with issues surrounding the question of whether ordinary people will be able to emigrate to the stars.
I haven’t read it, but the few reviews are positive. You might want to check it out and add your own.
