As a commenter asks, when did Oz become such a nation of bed wetters?
Marx’s Ghost
The specter that will not die. This is the most important election in my lifetime.
XCOR’s New York Event
Denise Chow has the story.
I think that there’s an excellent chance that they’re going to beat Virgin at being first to market.
The Civility Of The Left
Not to mention the hypocrisy.
These people don’t care about any of the things they claim to care about. They care about nothing but power over other people.
Prometheus
Barring spectacular reviews, I’m not inclined to see it. Of course, I haven’t seen the second and third Alien movies, either. I didn’t like the first one that much. I view this as more in the horror than SF genre, and I’m not a fan.
Only Seven Shopping Days Left
…until my Kickstarter project on space safety must be funded. I still need about $2800 by next Friday afternoon. Pass the word, via Twitter or whatever.
“A Penny For NASA”
…would most likely be wasted, just as much of NASA’s budget is now.
The Private Sector
…isn’t doing just fine, Mr. President.
[Afternoon update]
Instapundit has a lot of links. This seems (appropriately) to have resulted in a firestorm of criticism of the economic ignoramus. I agree with John Hinderaker that it is redolent of his intrinsically socialist mindset.
[Update later afternoon]
What goes around, comes around.
This also points out just how incompetent McCain and his campaign were, compared to Romney.
And how not-so-brilliant the Obama team is/was. They were lucky. Their luck has run out, I think.
Cronyism Alert
The next farm bill. We’re still clearly a long way from either party taking spending and the deficit seriously.
I Don’t Love Lucy
I’ve discussed this before, but I’m glad to see that Lileks agrees with me:
I’m not a big fan of the TV shows – the wailing, the stupidity, the ‘splaining to do. Whenever she’s in a movie she’s much more enjoyable.
That could be, but I’ve never watched a movie with her in it and am not motivated to do so, given my antipathy to the TV shows.
[Googling]
Ah, we agreed on the subject a year and a half ago, too. Sometimes I feel like I’m running out of new things to say.
