Some thoughts on the modern “justice” system. Of course, if everyone demanded their sixth-amendment rights, it could crash the system, and perhaps bring some rationality to the dense thicket of law that has accumulated over the past couple hundred years.
The Russian Moon Mission
I find it hard to take seriously pronouncements of government plans to do something almost two decades from now. That’s a long time, and a lot of things can happen, both technologically and politically, to either accelerate it or put it off even further. I continue to think that the first mission back to the moon will be private, because unlike the government, there are people in that sector who actually want to do it, and they have the resources.
Radical Feminists
Shakers without the furniture.
Yes, at least the Shakers were productive.
The Double Standards Of The New York Times
So what is the message Christians should take from this? That it’s time for them to start threatening to behead people?
Extraterrestrial Real Estate
How will Newt’s prospects affect its value?
Who Wrote The Heartland Memo?
The preponderance of evidence indicates that it was Gleick. That’s certainly the way I’d bet. As commenters note, is this enough to justify a lawsuit?
Space Missions That Never Flew
I probably worked on many of these in my career. They’re the only kind I worked on. And that’s perhaps good, because many of them never should have flown. Not to imply that it was my fault, of course.
For Aging Gamers
The s3x scene from Zelda II. Click it. You know you want to.
Vitamin D
It’s looking more and more like it’s one of the most important vitamins, and modern lifestyles don’t provide enough of it naturally.
ObamaCare
It’s going to cost almost twice as much as they said it would.
Yeah, I’m shocked too. And I still think the estimate is low.
[Update a while later]
Here’s a new post by Phil Klein on the revised CBO estimates. Of course, as we said a that time, CBO estimates are always garbage in garbage out, and a lot of garbage went into it while it was being debated.
[Update a couple minutes later]
More on the lies from Guy Benson, with a bonus mention of the growing deficits, which means that there will be another debt-ceiling fight in the fall, before the election, if not sooner. Hilarious, considering all of the lies and charades the White House went through last summer to avoid that.
