This looks like a pretty clear-cut claim of sovereignty to me, and thus in violation of the Outer Space Treaty. Protecting the Apollo sites is a problem, but I don’t think that this is the solution. Unless, of course, we want to withdraw, which I certainly wouldn’t complain about.
The Zimmerman Lynch Mob
…was organized by the Justice Department?
Holder shouldn’t just be fired — he should be in jail.

Justice for Trayvon, race-hustler style.
Prostitution
Time to legalize it. It’s not a new argument, but it’s a surprising source.

Boko Haram
Thoughts on why Islamists hate us. Unfortunately, Bush was right — they hate out freedom. And it’s appalling that the administration won’t put them on the terrorist list. Even the UK has done so.
The Trayvon Travesty
The preferred media narrative has completely collapsed:
It is impossible to reasonably argue that the state presented a case that should result in a murder 2 or manslaughter conviction. However, and of course, a conviction is still possible.
So they’ll continue to unreasonably argue it.

The Zimmerman trial as media pornography.
It’s certainly a distraction from real issues.
Gmail
What it knows about you.
This is one of the reasons that I rarely use Gmail. I only use my account as a backup, if my own server is down.
Putting The IRS Scandals To Rest
Its supporters are 0 for 3.
But remember, it’s “fizzling out.”
[Update a couple minutes later]
The IRS “accidentally” revealed thousands of social security numbers. But remember, you can totally trust them with your health information.
Gang Raping
Egypt in particular, and the Middle East in general, has a very sick culture.
The Backwards Trial Continues
I hadn’t been following the case that closely, but it sounds like if Zimmerman is convicted, he’ll have plenty of bases for an appeal. The judge sounds like a real piece of work.
Snubbed
I’m sure that the only reason that I didn’t make this list is because I’m a libertarian.
And really? Shepherd Smith?
