Elizabeth Warren
Fauxcahontas AKA Spreading Bull has a potential legal problem.
Maybe her real Indian name is Practicing Without License. Hope the Brown campaign picks up on this.
[Update early afternoon]
A difference of opinion. A lot of discussion in comments. She may be within the letter of the law, but as a commenter points out, her actions on September 11th stink.
Classic Projection
Harry Reid: “Mitt Romney has sullied Mormonism.”
Gun Control
What would a second-term Obama do?
Fortunately, even if he manages to win reelection, he’d never get anything through the House or the Senate.
Jill Stein
People aren’t talking enough about her. It’s pretty obvious why.
Home, Home On Lagrange
Hey, put me down as all in favor of a Lagrange-point base — I’ve advocated it for years. But I’d like to see the trade study that says EML-2 versus EML-1. My preference is for the latter, but NASA seems focused on the former. I haven’t seen any explanation as to why. To my mind it’s a time versus delta-vee tradeoff. I’d prefer quicker trips, and better views of earth.
I also agree with Charles Lurio (quoted in the piece) that this isn’t the mission that SLS is looking for. It would be ludicrously expensive compared to using existing vehicles. There is no mission for which the Senate Launch System is cost effective.
But Trent Waddington says that Charles and I should hush our mouves.
Long Pork
It was what’s for dinner in pre-historic Britain.
Critical Legal Studies
…and Barack Obama’s hatred of the U.S. Constitution.
This shouldn’t be news, but most people remain unaware of it. I hope the Romney campaign decides to change that.
Likability
I think that there’s some Bradley effect going on. People say that they like him, so they’re not thought to be racist. There’s a lot of pressure from the media for us to think that he’s likable, and that there’s something wrong with us if we don’t like him.
The last time I recall finding him admirable or likable in any way was at the 2004 convention speech. Since then, he’s always come off as an (unjustifiably) arrogant prick to me. He’s a proud man, with much to be humble about.
Straight People
Do they pick up all the hints at the Drudge Report about the president being gay?
I actually don’t read the Drudge Report on a regular basis, but it does look like that’s what he’s doing.
