OK, I know it doesn’t scan, but the punchline is that he couldn’t.
Sit up, that is.
He was glued to the seat.
I hate when that happens (though I think that I would have noticed something amiss long before I got stuck, but perhaps his derri
There are Islamic riots in Denmark as well, if Viking Observer’s translation is reliable. And the Danish press, no hostage to political correctness (unlike much of the western media), isn’t afraid to call it what it is:
Saturday morning a 16-year-old Somali boy was incarcerated, accused of aggravated assault, as he friday evening threw a cobblestone through a window in the bakery. The stone passed closely by baker B

These morons, that is.
As a result of their failed ideology, we have the guns. If I believed in God, I’d thank him for the Second Amendment. I’ll thank the Founders instead. Let’s just hope that the Supreme Court doesn’t completely eviscerate it, as they have much of the rest of the Constitution. Certainly Republicans haven’t helped much, so far.
Yes, I know this is a weird post to be the first one in a couple days. What can I say? I’m busy, and, to quote Jayne in Serenity (a movie that I just saw a couple nights ago for the first time), the site damaged my calm.
The foreign policy advisor to the Iranian president recognizes who his adversary is, but not its nature:
But it is not only the US that Abbasi wants to take on and humiliate. He has described Britain as

Michael Belfiore updates his previous post, to indicate that Rocketplane (as I was quite confident was the case) has in fact been in discussions with the FAA. But he persists in his misguided (in my opinion) fear of liquid propulsion:
I say a good healthy dose of skepticism never hurt anyone about to climb into a commercial spaceship fueled with explosive liquids.
While not denying that skepticism is always appropriate to some degree, he still seems to think that hybrids cannot explode. That would come as a shock to many (including me) who watched an Amroc 250,000-lb-thrust motor launch itself down the mountain up at the rocket lab in the early 90s, as a chunk of rubber got caught in the throat, blocking the flow and causing the internal pressure to build up to the point that it blew the bolts on the aft bulkhead, with spectacular results. Hell, even steam boilers can explode (this killed many people in the early days of river transportation).
It’s true that a hybrid can’t achieve total combustion in the same way that mixing liquids can, but it’s a big mistake to think of them as intrinsically “safe” (a term that is always relative, and never absolute). I would personally feel just as comfortable on a vehicle powered by one of (for example) XCOR’s rocket engines as by any hybrid, because I’d be confident that they would build adequate margins and safeguards into it to make it as safe as reasonably possible.
They never learn:
It was all from Wilson
…or harder to argue for regime change of a country that has been drummed out of the UN?
For those slow on the uptake, I’m asking whether it’s a good idea to toss Iran, given the circumstances.
