The Greenland Ice Melt
Is it time to panic?!
No.
On The Road Again
I’m driving up to San Jose this afternoon to attend NewSpace 2012, so blogging will be nonexistent until tonight, and perhaps light for the next few days.
[Thursday morning update]
Got in about 7:30 last night (I came up 101 rather than 5), and had dinner with a few folks. I’ll be heading over to the conference hotel in a few minutes (I’m staying down in San Jose). Not sure what the Internet situation will be there, but I’ll probably at least be able to tether to my phone. There’s supposed to be a big Armadillo announcement today (I’m guessing that it has to do with their planned flight into space in the next month or so).
Huma
Andrew McCarthy has some questions for John McCain and Speaker Boehner:
So I was hoping maybe the speaker could explain to us: Hypothetically, if Huma Abedin did have a bias in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood, and if she were actually acting on that bias to try to tilt American policy in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood, what exactly would the State Department be doing differently?
Yes, I’d like to see an explanation of that, too. But Huma’s not really the problem — Barack Obama is.
The UN
Why does it still exist?
It outlived whatever usefulness it may have ever had decades ago.
Perpetuating Racism
Eight ways that black do so. Including Barack Obama.
Packed With Pork
The outrageous farm bill.
Time to clean up DC, on both sides of the aisle. Just a little over three months until our next opportunity.
Government Motors
The taxpayer loss on GM hits $35B.
Does Obama really want to run on this issue? Romney should make it clear that he didn’t save the auto industry — he saved the UAW. Temporarily.

Guns Save Lives
The science is settled:
With a single exception, every multiple-victim public shooting in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed since at least 1950 has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry their own firearms.
The Cinemark movie theater in Aurora, like others run by the chain around the country, displayed warning signs that it was illegal to carry guns into the theater.
This applied to all nonlaw enforcement personnel, including individuals with concealed handgun permits. In other words, despite more than 4% of the adult population of Colorado having concealed handgun permits, a gunman intent on killing a lot of people could be confident that law-abiding citizens there would be sitting ducks.
Isn’t it funny how no one ever shoots up a gun show?
And yet morons like Mike Bloomberg are willing to break the law in order to disarm us, while he has his own police bodyguard.
[Update a few minutes later]
Bloomberg’s fascist suicide cult. No, I don’t think that’s too harsh a description.
