If this is really her name, it’s a good way to cash in on it, but I’m wondering who’s being parodied here–the President, or sufferers of Bush Derangement Syndrome?

Chief Roberts
We have a new (in more than one sense of the word–it’s depressing when the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is younger than me) Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
[Update at 12:25 PM EDT]
Whew, that’s a relief. I knew he was born in 1955, but I assumed that it was after I was, since I have a January birthday. But it turns out he’s one day older than me…
Albion’s Seedling
Jim Bennett, author of the Anglosphere Challenge (among other things), has started a group blog on issues relating to the Anglosphere, both its past and its future. Among his co-bloggers there is “Lexington Green,” of the Chicago Boyz.
There are several interesting posts up already. In one, he asks who might be the UK’s Lincoln with a long interview with Liam Fox, who he thinks might be a potential candidate for the role. In another, he offers some advice for assimilation in the UK from America’s own history.
Go check it out, and bookmark or blogroll it. I suspect it will have some interesting commentary in future.

Two Words: Gray Goo
On 9/27 Tierney’s column in the New York Times (subscription required; the cheapest option is get home delivery and go on permanent vacation hold) again picked up the alt.space agenda of colonization. His advice, “If officials hope to get money for NASA’s new program of manned exploration, I suggest they go to Capitol Hill with a two-word sales pitch: gray goo.”
I second the sentiment that civilization protects and heals itself, but a rich planet can afford a stylish colony just in case the unthinkable happens.
Surprising Source
John Derbyshire, of all people, has an eloquent tribute to Bob Dylan. He’s mistaken about Mr. Bojangles, though–it was written by Jerry Jeff Walker, not Dylan.
Best. Typhoon Name. Ever
Ladies and gentleman, I give you Typhoon Longwang. It could pound Asia pretty hard. It may penetrate deep into the continent. Let’s hope it doesn’t result in another premature evacuation.
OK, so it’s a little juvenile.
Actually, it would have been better if they’d hung that moniker on this storm.
[Update a couple minutes later]
A comment from “Psychobunny” at Free Republic:
If this thing makes landfall in Puntang, the Weather Channel’s going to have to go Pay Per View.
[Update again]
And the hits keep coming:
Typhoon LONGWANG is still a small typhoon, but the clouds got more rounded and spiralled. It is forecast to keep intensification for the moment, and the typhoon gets more powerful if it starts to be bigger.
