A very interesting demonstration of coupled oscillations.
Jailed For Blasphemy
Free speech in Obama’s America.

More thoughts from Allahpundit:
According to TMZ, the guy’s probation report is sealed. Question for criminal defense attorneys: Is there any way to force it to be unsealed, or is that at the discretion of one or both of the parties? There’s a public interest at this point, I think, in knowing why they’re sending him back to prison. Did he commit a serious crime that we don’t know about, or are they using a technicality to punish him for blasphemy?
I think we can make a good guess.
Forget Coal In Ohio
…it’s the gas prices, stupid.
Piss Christ
…causes bloody riots in Manhattan.
OK, not really.
Obama Debate Questions
…that he should get, but probably won’t from the supine lapdog moderators. They’re welcome to pleasantly surprise me, though.
#Benghazigate
…is trending.
It should be.
From Lunar Return To Colony
This isn’t exactly a new question. The Space Studies Institute has been thinking about it for a third of a century. And of course, one always finds the inevitable “it’s obvious that the first colony should be on Mars” comment.
Crazyfornia
A review of a frightening book:
California isn’t just a basket case, it’s a proselytizing basket case, with its environmental zealots, community organizers, and wishful economic thinkers aggressively selling their ideas to other states and to the federal government. As Laer demonstrates, while the recession is slowing the other forty-nine states from buying into California’s governing philosophy, the Obama government is an enthusiastic supporter. Another four years of Obama, and California won’t be the only bankrupt crazy place in America.
…Crazifornia describes a dysfunctional state, one that can best be summed up as a banana republic governed, not by oligarchs, but by a toxic mix of environmental fascists, greedy unions, corrupt or ideology-driven legislators, and all-powerful bureaucrats. But before you get too angry at these jackals, perhaps you should reserve your wrath for the ones who truly deserve it: the California voters.
I fear the state is lost. I just hope we can contain the infection.
When Islamists Lecture Us
…it’s time to circle the wagons.

Western courts bend to Islamic practices.
A New Way To Fly
Well, this is interesting. My most immediate question is, even though it says it won’t stall, what happens if it loses power? Can it glide?
