She thinks Hillary would be a great president because she “knows what it’s like to menstruate, be pregnant, [and] give birth.”
So you’re going to pick your leader on the basis of her biological functions, the fact she’s experienced the same bodily stuff as you? Imagine if a man did that. “I’m voting for Ted Cruz because he knows what it’s like to spunk off. And he knows the pain of being kicked in the balls.” We’d think that was a very sad dude indeed. Why is it any better for a female commentator to wax lyrical about voting on the basis of her biological similarity to a candidate rather than any shared political outlook?
She should be embarrassed, but she has no idea why. If you’re voting with your body parts, you’re definitely doing it wrong
Listening to an interesting presentation on challenges of closing the cycle on ISS, particularly water. Not seeing any real surprises, but I think that this will be a very useful result of having the station for improving systems. They’re learning about life of various system elements, and getting some surprises, with some failure years before expected, and some lasting much longer.
I don’t know whether it’s true or not but I wouldn’t be shocked and, like Professor Price Foley, I wouldn’t trust the word of either our or Mexico’s government on the matter.
I would note that “regional universities” includes both UTEP and New Mexico State in Las Cruces.
The IRS is supposed to be totally nonpolitical, as it must be in a free and fair democratic society. Do you know what my IRS tax file says?
“SENSITIVE CASE.”
Do you know the date “SENSITIVE CASE” was written on my tax file? The week Lois Lerner testified in Congress.
The only thing “SENSITIVE” about my case is that I’m a conservative political columnist and commentator often critical of the president. The only context where “sensitive” applies to me is “POLITICALLY SENSITIVE.”
Why would a citizen’s tax file be tied to his politics? Why would the IRS know my politics? Why would a normal random audit be classified as “SENSITIVE?’
But we’re only getting started with the criminal implications of this case. My IRS auditor wrote into the margin of my file that he spent hours researching my political views. How chilling is that revelation? It sounds like the KGB, Stasi or even the Gestapo.
This administration has weaponized government agencies against its political enemies. As he notes, Nixon had to resign for simply wanting to do so.
It’s Day 2 of the workshop. I’m giving a talk this morning on the need for resilient LEO infrastructure. I may post the briefing later. It’s substantially the same one I gave to NASA at HQ in December.
Interesting session at the Improving Space Ops Workshop in Pasadena. Heard a talk on long-lived stable lunar orbits with max eclipse time of four hours. Now listening to a proposed cubesat mission to map hydrogen at the lunar poles.
