Over at The Corner, I have some thoughts on Saturday’s debate.

Gingrich the psycho-historian.
In Case You Weren’t Depressed About A Gingrich Candidacy
Read this, and this. It will cure what ails ya.

On the other hand, there’s this: the return of Newt Skywalker.
The Occupiers Are The One Percent
Now let us get a few things straight about who these loony goons are. For the most part they are spoiled rotten brats who took out huge loans to pay for four years of self-indulgence at some over-rated liberal arts college. Somehow, they were able to spend a few months in the fall camping out and protesting against the working class while not working themselves.
They are in that upper 1% who do not have to work.
And they are prodigious increasers of entropy.
Space Policy Crops Up In The Republican Debate Again
I didn’t see the debate last night (we were partying down), but apparently Mitt went after Newt on space. Jeff Foust can’t figure out what he’s talking about, and I don’t know, either. All I know is that it’s one more reason to hope Romney isn’t the nominee. He doesn’t seem to understand the issues at all.

“Our Movement Became Fascist”
So says one of the occupiers. You don’t say. Actually, if you understood fascism, you’d realize it started that way.
Politicians And Lampposts
Is such talk over the line? Sadly, probably not.
I often feel as though I’m in a state of denial about how bad things may get.
How You Won’t Die When You Fall Into Lava
This is pretty obvious to anyone who understand Archimedes’ Principle. Which isn’t to say you won’t die, of course, just not that way.
Thin Gruel In Osawatomie
Michael Barone isn’t very impressed with Obama’s speech:
What we have here, it seems a president who has no serious interest in public policy. He has spent nearly half his 15 years in public office running for other public office. The only difference now is that, having run out of higher offices to run for, he is just running for reelection instead. Those who pride themselves on belonging to the party of smart people should be embarrassed.
