Jeff Foust has a writeup on Paul Spudis’ and Wendell Mendell’s talks at last weekend’s Return To The Moon Conference. Bottom line: as is often the case, NASA has met the enemy, and it is them.
Spudis thinks that NASA officials are deliberately misrepresenting the vision.
Here’s a fun interview with the very fun (based on my occasional partying with her) and smart Cathy Seipp:
I think people always considered me more of a contrarian than a traditional values conservative. The problem with the L.A. media isn’t that it’s dominated by liberals but that it’s dominated by idiots. Occasionally someone comes along — like Allan Mayer, founding editor of the now-defunct Buzz magazine (and a liberal) — who’s smart enough to hire people with different points of view…
…My mother…told me when I was young that when she was looking for an entry level job after graduating college, she noticed the most interesting, better paying jobs were always under “Men Wanted” instead of “Women Wanted,” which is how jobs used to be advertised. So she just went ahead and applied for the “Men Wanted” jobs and usually got them. And most of the time the men who interviewed her were not outraged that she’d applied but quite nice; they just said it hadn’t occurred to them that a woman might want the job. Which is how it is with most situations, I think; people aren’t usually out to oppress you, they’re just unimaginative.
I loved this:
I don’t mind closely trimmed short beards. But those long, scraggly beards on men are like underarm hair on women. In both cases the tacit message is: “In case you were wondering what my pubic hair looks like, wonder no longer, because now you know.”
She just nailed why I no longer have a beard.

It looks like Christopher Anderson’s new book isn’t going to paint a very pretty picture of the junior Senator from New York.

The latest word is that not only did Berger lose documents, but he also added some to the files:
…the thrust of the federal investigation now looking into Mr. Berger’s actions should center not necessarily on what was taken from the archived files but what was placed in them.
Trying to rewrite a little history?
And this part is very disturbing, at least to me:
…adding an entirely new layer of intrigue to the story is word that telephone calls made by Berger during those latter two visits may have been monitored by an “unauthorized agency.”
The endorsements just keep rolling in:
“Arafat is now waiting for the month of November in the hope that President Bush will be defeated in the presidential elections and turned out of his office,” Ze’evi told the cabinet. Arafat also expects that Sharon will be toppled from the premiership, he said.
I’m sure he’s hoping for renewed invitations to the White House, just like the Clinton years.
Someone should tell Dari Alexander that Mackinac Island is pronounced “Mack-i-naw,” not “Mack-i-nack.” You can sure tell she’s not a Michigan native.
