Iowahawk, fresh from his trip across the pond terrorizing London, is whining about voter fraud, and he’s got the Reverend Jesse Jackson on his side.
I think it’s time for him to Move On.
Now He’ll Get Some Attention

YASS
The post title is an acronym for “Yet Another Space Society,” a running joke back in my space activist days in the eighties.
Here it is: Americans For Space.
There’s no explanation of who they are, what they propose to do (other than “educate legislators”), of whether or not they’re aware that there are other groups, many of which have been around for decades, purporting to do the same thing, or what unmet need they think they’re filling with this new organization (if it indeed is that, and not just a website).
Sigh…
And The Beat Goes On
Apparently the therapy isn’t working too well for PEST sufferers in my new home town. But maybe we just have to give it enough time.
Utah State Should Be Ashamed
On what some think may be the eve of the release of the long-awaited report on Rathergate (though Jim Geraghty is skeptical), Professor Hailey is still trying (laughably) to show that the memos could be real. As one commenter asks, “How debunked does something have to be in order to have nothing debunkable left?”
“Political Spontaneous Combustion”
That’s what Dick Morris says happened in the 2004 election:
The defeat of the networks in the war of CBS versus the bloggers is one of the most dramatic illustrations of this new political dynamic. All of Dan Rather

A Blessing For San Diegans
Remember this idiot, who was unable to recognize satire? Well, he’s resigned from the San Diego Union-Tribune as a columnist after they refused to run a column of his that they thought readers might find offensive (“bugmenot”,”bugmenot” will get you past the registration).
Good riddance.
Energy From The Moon
Mark Whittington discusses the prospects for energy production via He3 mining on the moon. He also discusses the reluctance of the administration to talk about it as a justification for the VSE. I find the latter understandable–I suspect that they fear ridicule if they do so.
And I have trouble buying this statement:
For every ton of Helium 3 extracted from lunar soil, researchers say, nine tons of oxygen, water and other life-sustaining substances, as well as six tons of hydrogen useful for powering fuel cells, would be yielded.
While He3 is much more abundant on the moon than on earth, I have a hard time believing that it’s that abundant. There has to be much more than nine times it for those other substances. Oxygen alone is a major constituent of lunar regolith, whereas He3 is a trace element. I’d like to see the basis for those numbers.
