CEI pushes back on Chuck Todd’s fantasy that it is over.
Your Pelvic Floor
News some of you can use.
Cancer
I’m skeptical that these researchers have found a total cure (for one thing, it’s too many different things), but it would nice if it were true. I suspect that this is just a fundraising announcement, though.
Howard Schultz
Roger Simon thinks he could actually win the presidency. I don’t know, but an interesting question is if so, which party would be helped by his coat tails.
Fauxcahontas’s Wealth Tax
Thoughts from Tom Maguire.
It seems unconstitutional to me on its face. We had to amend the Constitution to get an income tax, and I’m pretty confident that it would be required here as well. Anyway, as Jim Bennett noted on Facebook, we should reserve comment until we can properly understand the proposal by reading it in the original Cherokee.
[Update a while later]
Want to soak the rich and help poor people? Tax fringe benefits. Yes, this would help a lot with decoupling health insurance from employment, which is how the mess got started.
The U.S. Space Guard
The National Space Society has come out with a policy paper on it. I haven’t read it yet, but it should be a useful reference for those who continue to confuse it and the Space Corps/Force.
Buzzfeed
No, like Al Gore, it did not create the Internet. It didn’t even create Facebook.
From Brain Waves
…to synthesized speech. This could be a huge breakthrough for people locked in (one of my personal nightmares).
Colorado
Why would any state want the rest of the country to determine its electoral votes? Why even have states (which, like the Electoral College, the Left hates, at least when they lose). Sadly, this insanity is probably Constitutional, but the Founders would weep.
A Third Of A Century
Today is my birthday, which also means that it’s the anniversary of the loss of the Challenger and its crew (and the beginning of the long drawn-out end of the Shuttle program). Hard to believe it’s been that long.
