You knew this was coming — Hitler was going to find out…
[Update Saturday morning]
Teabaggers Take House: Women, Minorities, Children And Democrat Staffers Hit Hardest. Now that’s the kind of unemployment that I can really get behind.
First It’s Cartoons
And now this:
Prominent Muslim religious heads have expressed anger and dismay on the information of a US dog being named ‘Khan.’ Maulana Syed Athar Ali said that it is a known fact that Muslims detest pigs and dogs.
“To name a dog a Muslim name by US security agencies is to deliberately incite the Muslim community. We would be meeting soon and devise a strategy to protest and seek apology from the US,” said Maulana Athar Ali.
Yes, of course. It was a deliberate act of provocation. And just how angry are they? This angry.
Hey, it’s a religion of peace. Or so they say.
Time For Republicans To Act Like Conservatives
…when it comes to space. My thoughts over at PJM.
Space Travel
Some vintage ideas.
More Dumb Space Commentary
Over at Forbes. I’m going to see if I can find a way to rebut it there.
Variable-Gravity Research
Jon Goff has some interesting thoughts, spurred by a discussion from Joe Carroll last weekend at the Space Manufacturing Conference.
Thoughts On Facts And Science
…from an unwashed hillbilly:
Those words mean two things to this unwashed hillbilly: (1) I have doubts that Obama is “the smartest guy ever to become President,” and (2) he lies.
When Obama was trying to sell the plan, he said it would bring the cost curve down. Once his plan was signed into law, he said he knew that it was “going to increase our costs.” At least that sure looks like a lie to this ignorant know-nothing. Maybe there’s some nuance I don’t understand. Or does “down” mean “up” in actuarial science? Maybe Katie Couric could enlighten me; she knows pretty much everything about climate science.
I guess I’m an unwashed hillbilly, too.
Off To Mojave
…with Iowahawk and Hawkspawn, to see what’s happening up there. Light blogging today, obviously.
Is Barack Obama A Keynesian?
This is pretty damn funny.
And they call Tea Partiers ignorant. Maybe they should have asked them if DHMO should be a banned substance.
Trampled By The “Astroturf”
Or don’t.
I am highly gratified by the losses of: Alan Grayson, Jim Oberstar, Phil Hare, Barron Hill, Bob “Who are you?” Etheridge, Russ Feingold, Charlie Crist, all the Blue Dogs who voted for the health-care disaster, and others, off the top of my head.
I’m disappointed that we haven’t ended the long national nightmares of Barney Frank, Harry Reid (though he’ll actually probably continue to do damage to the Democrats, particularly if he remains the Minority Leader), Loretta Sanchez, Barbara Boxer, and no doubt others.
I’m very happy to see Senators Rubio, Ron Johnson, and Pat Toomey, among others.
But the main thing is that at least we will be able to stop digging, and spend the next couple years Preparing to finish the job, in the Senate and the White House.
