Obama claims to have read Hayek, but I don’t believe it. Or if he did, he probably wasn’t capable of understanding it.
Totalitarian Grief
Observations from Michael Totten.
MF Global — How Could It Happen?
The Richter Scale
Hitchens And Hell
Some thoughts from Ross Douthat. I’ve never even pretended to start to understand Christian theology. It always struck me as rationalization for what people want to believe.
Light-Bulb Liberty
Idiotic arguments against it. This come from both a fundamental lack of understanding of both economics, and unintended consequences of good intentions.
North Versus South Korea
A natural controlled economic experiment. You can see the stark difference in satellite photos of the peninsula at night.
Chris Kraft Speaks
It’s time for NASA (and Congress) to get real:
So come on NASA, wake up! Take the lid off and turn loose the human resources you already have in place. Most of these bright people came to NASA excited about the future, about going back to the Moon to stay and becoming a part of what could be another renaissance in space.
Building a great big rocket is not a necessary expenditure at this time. In fact, the budget that will be consumed by this big rocket will prevent NASA from any meaningful human exploration for at least the next decade and probably beyond. We don’t have to march in place while we wait for the powers that be to cancel it. Let’s be innovative; let’s wake up the sleeping giant and have at returning to the Moon right now.
Unfortunately, NASA isn’t the problem.
The EPA’s Fracking Scare
Gee, it’s almost like they have a political agenda or something.
