Killing the messenger: Rather than investigate the potential voter fraud exposed by James O’Keefe, Vermont elected officials, all Democrats, want to investigate James O’Keefe for exposing the fraud.
Finding out what’s in it: The Congressional Budget Office, in a report released this week, says that by 2016 Obamacare will cause 4 million people to lose their employer health insurance coverage.
Good news? A major airport in Florida has decided to evict the TSA and go with a private company to screen passengers.
The problem is that this really won’t change anything, as the company will be under TSA supervision and regulations, and will therefore be required by the TSA to do exactly the same thing the TSA has been doing.
The only real solution is to junk this whole charade. Airport security accomplishes nothing except to destroy our sense of freedom.
Leftwing civility: Comedian Chris Rock physically attacked a camerawoman when he was asked about his own comments calling the tea party was “insane” and “crazy”. With video.
An artist’s conception of Martian weather. With pictures.
Opening arguments in the JPL intelligent design court suit.
Leftwing civility: NBC’s Al Sharpton trashing “homos,” “Chinamen,” “crackers,” and “niggers.”
We’re here to help you: A man in Georgia was ticketed and threatened with jail after he refused to remove an American flag that’s been flying outside his business for more than thirty years.
An evening pause: Kevin Olusola doing some hip-hop improv on cello.
Finding out what’s in it: New numbers released today from the Congressional Budget Office estimate that the cost of Obamacare over the next decade will be $1.76 trillion, not $940 billion as predicted by the Democrats who passed it.
The only word I can think of that aptly describes the people who pushed this law on us is incompetence. That any rational person would consider voting for these people again boggles the mind.
More video showing how easy it is to vote illegally, this time in Vermont.
Unlike in the previous video in New Hampshire, this time the fake voters were able to get permission to vote using the names of both dead and living voters. And of course, no ID was requested. The video illustrates the absurdity of the situation by contrasting this situation with other examples where IDs are required.
The law is such an inconvenient thing: The IRS under Obama decided last year that it can require licenses from tax preparers, even though no law gives the tax agency that power.
Competition rules! Russia’s space agency has proposed a space exploration plan through 2030, including missions to the Moon and Mars, in an effort to catch up with the U.S.
JPL lawyers want to limit media access and reporting during ‘intelligent design’ trial.
This suggests strongly to me that JPL did fire this guy because of his religious beliefs.
Good news for commercial space: SpaceX has gotten another launch contract, this time to put up four satellites for an Asian/Central American communications partnership.
Research on ISS has found that prolonged spaceflight causes vision problems and might even damage the human eye.
There had been hints of this discovery in an earlier report, but today’s paper is the first published science on the subject.
The results are not only important for finding out the medical challenges of weightlessness. They illustrate once again the need to do long extended flights on ISS. Without that research we are never going to be able to fly humans to other planets.
An evening pause: What every home must have!
The blistering hot exoplanet where it snows.
These results have led to a suggestion that [HD 189733b] could continually experience silicate snow. In the lower atmosphere of [the exoplanet], magnesium silicate sublimates, that is, it passes directly from a solid into a gas. But we know there are small silicate particulates in the upper atmosphere. Formation of these particulates requires that the temperature be lowered, and so must have been formed at a temperature inversion in the atmosphere. The generally windy conditions would help some of the tiny particulates grow into respectable snow crystals.
Venus Express was blinded for four days last week after being hit by a coronal mass ejection from the Sun.
No longer is it good enough to disagree with conservatives. They must be fired from their jobs, separated from their advertisers, booted from the airwaves, buried under a prehistoric rock. The tactics attributed to Joe McCarthy tied to the polemical rigor associated with Jenny McCarthy.
