“Desperate To Avoid”

Ron Cass asks why the Sandy Burglar story isn’t one of the top political stories of the decade:

We all have a pretty good idea what the money was doing in Representative William Jefferson’s freezer. But the questions about President William Jefferson Clinton’s National Security Adviser, Sandy Berger, just keep piling up.

It’s time we got some answers.

I can’t understand why the Republican Congress didn’t demand hearings into the Justice Department decision to let Berger off with a slap of the wrist. I can only surmise that it was because it was a decision of a Republican Justice Department. Now, they might be more curious, particularly with the new revelations, but they no longer control Congress, and I assume that the new majority will want to keep this dirt safely and deeply under the rug.

Three Years On

As Jeff Foust notes, yesterday was the third anniversary of the announcement of the Vision for Space Exploration. Jeff thinks that the next two years are crucial. I agree.

When the president made the speech from NASA HQ, I was staying at a motel in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, looking for a house somewhere in the area (we ended up getting a place in Boca Raton). I live blogged it using the wireless in the motel room on my laptop, and then had some further thoughts. I think they hold up pretty well.

In fact, there were several related posts over those few days. You can check them out by scrolling about halfway down here.
