Let it be noted and time stamped that Dwayne Day and Clark Lindsey have proposed an interesting wager. Though Dr. Day may still back down, given Clark’s definition.
The Future Of Bizjets?
The Chair Force Engineer has a photo tour of the Eclipse manufacturing plant. Let’s hope that in a few years, these will be pictures of suborbital vehicles under construction.
Another Scoop From Iowahawk
He’s managed to get a copy of Michael Moore’s chronicles from the fat farm. This is almost too cruel to link to. But then again, it is Michael Moore we’re talking about here:
Dear Friends,
You and I have stood strong against Ashcroft’s PATRIOT act and it chilling impact on our liberties. This morning I learned just how fragile those liberties can be. During breakfast weigh-in, Sergio suddenly stopped me — without probable cause, without so much as a warrant — and forced me to empty my pockets on a dining hall table. Without even the most basic judicial review or appeal process, he embargoed 6 of my Snickers energy bars, even after I explained I needed the quick energy boost for AM calisthenics.

More Of This, Please
Australia has told extremist Muslims to love it or leave it:
Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state and its laws were made by parliament.
“If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you,” he said on national television.
“I’d be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia, one the Australian law and another the Islamic law, that that is false.
“If you can’t agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country which practises it, perhaps, then, that’s a better option,” Costello said.
Sounds reasonable to me. Let’s hope that Britain, and even the US, take a hint.
