TAX POLICY: the Instapundit gambit.
WE'LL SURVIVE; just make the spending cuts. And probably be better off for it.
CONCEALED CARRY WAR; woman wins.
FORWARD! -- to Revenge! Mandate? I don't need no stinkin' mandate.
GREENFAIL: Incandescent light bulbs now thought to be superior to CFLs.
THOMAS SOWELL: Killing the goose. Still wonder why government unions are growing even as private unions are declining?
THE HORRORS OF FEMA DISASTER 'RELIEF'; the glory of private efforts. And now I just caught a story on television tonight that the government is considering delaying reconstruction for 6 months or more (so that the lucky residents can continue to enjoy the benefits of FEMA camps).
DENNIS PRAGER: How the New York Times Covers Evil. It covers evil?
ISN'T IT OBVIOUS who the racists are?

You know, everywhere I go in town -- Old Manassas, grocery store, department store, WalMart, Home Depot, restaurants -- I see 20, 30, even 40 percent biracial/multiracial families. Where's the racism?

Answer: MSNBC....
GOODBYE, MAINSTREAM MEDIA:


EXPLORATION ALTERNATIVES: From Propellant Depots to Commercial Lunar Base. It looks good on the surface, but is doomed to fail without two very important requirements. The first is a 'grand goal' -- permanent colonization (and note I don't specify colonization of what). The second is buy-in from commercial space.

Without both, the 'exploration highway' will fail.
NEWSPAPERS WILL NEVER DIE: You Can't Wrap a Fish with an IPhone.
EARLY ADOPTERS, you may have just gotten shafted again.

Utter bull(you finish the word)! That happens every single time a new technology is adopted. If they were smart (silly me!), the environmentalists and greenies would be thrilled, since it indicates that the all-electric car may be close to becoming as economically viable as it would have been 10 years ago in the absence of government regulation and subsidization.
NASA’S MINI X-PLANE marks another flight milestone.


It's a pity that Boeing is unlikely to build a larger piloted model in the near future.
