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.

The Warm Mongers’ Plan

The Year Of The Dragon
Alan Boyle has a post up about today’s NASA Future meeting in Seattle.
“I Simply Do Not Know Where The Money Is”
Why should we believe that the motives of people in (cough, cough) “public service” are different from the motives of people in the for-profit sector? Was Jon Corzine a rapacious self-seeker at Goldman Sachs, then a public-spirited man when he was in the Senate and in New Jersey’s governorship, only to revert to form when he went to MF Global? If you doubt that this is true, and suspect that Jon Corzine was the same guy all along, why would you want to give government more power?
It’s a question that big-government supporters never answer. Partly because when it’s a John Corzine or a John Edwards, it’s not that big a deal. If either had been a Republican, it would have been second-coming type in the New York Times.
The Founders wrote a constitution on the basis that men are not angels, but “liberals” apparently believe that when they call themselves “liberal” and Democrats that they are, and will rule us wisely.
It’s Not Too Late
…for a late entry into the race? I sure hope he’s right.
Keystone Question
I haven’t studied this in detail, but my dim understanding is that the objection is to potential environmental impacts to the Ogallala Aquifer (that’s the official objection — we all know that the eco-loons real problem with it is that they hate fossil fuels). So why not propose starting the pipeline at the two ends now, at the Canadian border and in Houston, work toward the center, and defer the final routing of that section until they’ve studied it more? If they refuse to do this, we’ll have put the lie to their objection and showed their real agenda.
Fool Me Once
A lot of Democrats who joined the party in 2008 are leaving in droves in the battleground states. Like rats off a sinking ship.
