Mark Steyn has an amusing update over at The Corner. I find it amusing that some people really think that if it goes forward, it will be like the Scopes trial. I guess that’s how these people really think. It’s of a piece with the nuttiness that skepticism about AGW is on a par with creationism.
The Sacrament Of Abortion
Observations on last night’s abortion fest in Charlotte. This is starting to remind me of 1972, in the leftist insanity on display. You almost have a sense that they know they’re going down in November, big time, and want to do it in a blaze of collectivist glory.
Obama And Israel
What the Democrat’s platform really tells us.
It’s Not You, It’s Us
Frank J. says that America has failed Barack Obama.
I’d like to say that we never deserved him, except we do, because we voted for him. Less than nine weeks to rectify that mistake.
One Soul Mate
While it’s a nice romantic notion, the idea that there is just one person for you always struck me as nonsense, because the chances of finding them would be infinitesimal. But the indispensable XKCD actually runs the numbers.
Star-Gazer-In-Chief
A tribute to one space hero from another.
I have to say, I am inspired to see the back of Barack Obama. But the view is more inspiring the more distance there is. Remember that nine weeks from yesterday.
“Fact Checking” as Lies And Spin
Thoughts on the Pinocchio Press.
Mayor Castro
He’s apparently a Democrat star. Imagine how the press would react to a Republican mayor named “Hitler.”
Not to imply, of course, that there is anything “right wing” about Nazis. But the MSM imagines that there is…
Justice
Now this is what I call an honor killing.
Some Actual Romney Space Policy
Here’s an interesting discussion. I’ll doubtless have a lot more to say about this (I’m pitching Popular Mechanics to do a piece) but for now I’ll just note this:
Focusing NASA
A strong and successful NASA does not require more funding, it needs clearer priorities. I will ensure that NASA has practical and sustainable missions. There will be a balance of pragmatic and top-priority science with inspirational and groundbreaking exploration programs.
If I were an SLS supporter, I’d read those words and mess my pants. There are actually a lot of other interesting, and encouraging tea leaves in it. I think that our educational effort may be starting to pay off.
[Early evening update]
For whatever reason, the link to the “debate” is FUBAR. I hope they’ll fix it, but I have it on another machine, and I’ll repost if I can. But the above is a cut’n’paste from it.
