Lileks, on Gorebal Warming:
The demands of the faith are specific and exacting. You must believe that climate change is largely the fault of man
Rolling Back To The VAB
Looks like they lose their March launch window. There was hail damage to the tiles, but it’s described as “cosmetic.” The big problem is the tank.
Anna Nicole Died For Her Sins
Douglas Kern has a very interesting essay on sex and stupidity. And freedom.
Hope For Space Elevators?
Carbon nanotubes seem to be self repairing.
But Don’t Call Them Unpatriotic
Jeff Goldstein has nine reasons that killing Cheney would be justified. (Hint for the clueless–it’s satire).
Here’s a point that I didn’t make in my earlier post.
Just as Mookie agrees with many(/most?) Dems on “the surge,” many of the denizens of Huffpo and Metafilter agree with the Taliban that Dick Cheney should die. Can someone remind me again, whose side they’re on?
[Update on the evening of February 27th]
Apparently the powers that be decided to put all the anti-Cheney comments down the memory hole.

Asleep On The Job
Andy McCarthy asks what’s wrong with the Justice Department?
Jefferson is not only purported to be on tape, nearly two years ago, taking a $100K bribe, and was not only found to be in possession, nearly two years ago, of $90K in bribe money (stashed in the freezer). The government represented to a court that he obstructed the separate search of his home
A Little Perspective
VDH offers some on the “revolt of the generals.” And he didn’t even mention MacArthur.
[Update a couple minutes later]
I was tempted to write a “Routers” piece about the Truman-MacArthur embroglio (I’ve never done one about Korea), but I was afraid that I’d just be actually channeling the media of the time. I don’t have quick access to a library to see how it was reported.
Does anyone know how the media did handle it? Was it pro-MacArthur or pro-Truman? Or a healthy mix?
Software Bleg
I type a lot of link code, and HTML in general. Is anyone aware of any Windows software (or even a Firefox extension) that allows programmable hot keys, so that I could do <blockquote> or <a href=”” target=””> with a single (or dual) keystroke? It would help a lot with my incipient carpal tunnel problems.
