Ricochet has the story. Yes, he’s a brilliant man.
“Electability”
Both Newt and Mitt are leading Obama in the swing states. That’s bad news for both the White House and Mitt, because one of his strongest arguments against Newt is that he’s more electable.

Stifling Free Speech By The State Department
…on behalf of Islamic dictatorships. All in a day’s work at Foggy Bottom.

More stifling of free speech — a constitutional amendment to strip the right from pro-business non-profits, while leaving it intact for anti-business non-profits.

Huntsman Rising?
I don’t know, but here’s the worst thing about him. He would never kill the Senate Launch System. He’d be in ATK’s pocket.

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.

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.

Question for the Romney campaign. Why is the governor opposed to opening up new resources? Why does he think that we would have to spend more to do so than we are now on a rocket that will never fly?
