Will it be bad for SpaceX?
The problem with his analysis is that (as Clark Lindsey notes in comments) he assumes no elasticity of demand with the lower prices. I think he’s wrong.
Jews Who Vote For Barack Obama
…are dumb Jews. Three good reasons.
I’m pretty sure that the LA Times knows that if it released the Khalidi tape, it would be devastating to his prospects for the Jewish vote.
[Update mid morning]
Jewish Democrats warn Netanyahu to stay out of the U.S. election.
They’re running scared. If the Romney campaign was smart, he’d fly to New York and meet with him.

The New York Post
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.
