Hot off the press, the New York Times says that Europeans don’t like Bush very much. Frankly, reading this article just makes me even more inclined to vote for him, just to cheese them off.
Spacearium
These guys spammed me this morning. Looks like an interesting site, though I haven’t looked around much. They have launch footage and a movie about Goddard (the man, not the NASA center), along with all the NASA SP-8000 documents, among other things. Anyone know who’s behind the site? I dug around a little, but didn’t find anything.
Incidentally, this illustrates the basic rule of unsolicited commercial email – it’s only spam if you don’t want what they’re selling.

I think that the headline of this story tells it all.
Hypocrites
I’m with Andrew Stuttaford.
Bush was right to apologize to the Iraqis for what was done, and, politically it may have been shrewd to couch that apology in wider terms to all Arab peoples, but we should be clear about one thing. The denunciations of America by the Arab press outside Iraq has no more moral (politically speaking, it is something else) significance than the sight of a weeping Goebbels. It

Did He Or Didn’t He?
Only his auto dealer knows for sure.
Kerry’s SUV flip flopping gets worse than denying that he’s part of his own family. He apparently told a New Hampshire audience that he sold them all, when he didn’t. This wasn’t nuance, or Clintonizing. It was a lie (and that’s not a word I use lightly).

His Speechwriters Made Him Do It
Mark Steyn has finally figured out why Kerry seems like he flip flops. It’s all an illusion:
When Kerry talks about ”any Benedict Arnold CEO or corporation that takes American jobs overseas,” he’s not referring to someone who ”takes jobs overseas.” Perish the thought! He’s all in favor of taking jobs overseas. It wasn’t him who attacked all those ”Benedict Arnold CEOs,” just his ”overzealous speechwriters.” And the minute he discovered it was going on, he called them to say, ”Look, that’s not what I’m saying.”
I mean, OK, it was what he was saying in the narrow technical sense of words emerging from between his lips, day after day, night after night, all through primary season. I had a quick rummage through the Nexis database, and found a mere 746 citations for Kerry and the expression ”Benedict Arnold.” I myself have personally been present on three occasions when he attacked ”Benedict Arnold CEOs” who ”take jobs overseas,” and on two of them he didn’t have a TelePrompTer or even a script. He just stood in front of us and the words came out of his mouth, almost as if they were what he himself believed…
…Well, it’s good to know the senator has finally found a way to neutralize the flip-flop question. Many of us assumed that, when he was for the war and then he was against it and then he was for it again, that he kept changing his mind. But now it’s possible he was just being entirely consistent — he’s always been for it, or against it, it’s just that his ”overzealous speechwriters” kept putting the wrong words in his mouth.
