Supergenius. Of course, this is the same one-woman micro-brain-trust who asked NASA if the Mars rovers would be able to see the Apollo landing site.
Our country (and space program) is in the very best of hands.
The Biggest Threat To Humanity’s Future Existence
The Singularity? As he notes, it’s also the biggest opportunity.
Repeal And The Deficit
Why the one won’t increase the other, despite the pathetic attempts at fiscal legerdemain by the left. And Yuval Levin versus Jonathan Chait. Levin, in a knockout.
Arrived In Mordor On The Potomac
In case anyone was wondering why blogging has been light, I’ve been in the air most of the day and just got into DC, at 2 AM. Probably not a lot more in the next couple days, because I’ll be busy here.
Cats And Dogs
Not living together, but in weightlessness.

Old Dogs, New Tricks
I plead guilty to putting two spaces after a period. I learned it when I was in high school (not that I took typing in high school, but that’s when I taught myself from a book on a Selectric) and have been dong it for forty years. Of course, WordPress ignores them, so my blog posts come out single space anyway. But it makes a difference in Open Office or Word.
Crime Scene Investigation
Cue opening credit sequence

We won’t get fooled again!CSI Headquarters. Behind a two-way mirror, Krugman and Matthews watch as the suspect is interrogated by detectives Olbermann and Maddow.
OLBERMANN
Out with it, scumbag! Who are you working with? We know you’re hiding something – or somebody! At long last, have you no shame, sir?! Have you no decency?DREAMBRAIN
Riddle me this, Batman. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? That’s for me to know, but what am I? Ha hah! Heee! Ho hee! Pbblltth!Olbermann jumps up angrily from chair, Maddow restrains him.
MADDOW
Look, pal. Olbermann here, he goes just a little crazy kookoo sometimes. You should see him when he goes full Special Commentary. But you can trust me. I’m your friend. I’ll take care of you, see? Here, have a nice hot cup of tea…Dreambrain knocks the tea from the table
DREAMBRAIN
You’re trying to control my grammar! I have a constitutional right to saxophones!MATTHEWS (on intercom)
Take five, detectives. His rightwing gibberish isn’t getting us anywhere.KRUGMAN
Have the results gotten back from the toxicology lab yet?MATTHEWS
Got ’em right here. Weed… acid… psilocybin… salvia… Red Bull… but so far a negative on tea. And transfats.
I don’t think it has as much potential as the other franchises.
Politically Incorrect
An article that the WaPo spiked because it describes the difference between Christianity and Islam. Hiding or ignoring the truth doesn’t make it go away.
America 2.0
Thoughts on a needed upgrade for the country, from Walter Russell Mead.
Airbrushing History
In search of Lee Harvey Oswald. Hey, airbrushing history, often wholesale, is what leftists do. Stalin was famous for it.
