    NASA: Not About Space Anymore

    Muslim scientist in weapons lab, praying for cold fusion  Byron York reported on NASA’s new mission statement yesterday, as articulated by Charles Bolden, administrator of the agency. Here Mr. Bolden explains the mandate given to him by President Obama: "One, he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, | Read More »

    There Really is a God of Hell-Fire

    Boy, talk about a joke with legs. Last March,  speaking of the passage of the Healthcare bill, President Obama told a group of supporters: The leaders of the Republican party, they called the passage of this bill Armageddon! Armageddon. End of freedom as we know it! So after I signed the bill, I looked around to see if there were any asteroids falling. Any cracks | Read More »

    Anything I want, you got it.

    Anything I need, you got it. Anything at all – you got it! (with sincere apologies to Roy Orbison) In case you have forgotten – or never knew because you graduated public school in the past 30 years -  what a “socialist dictator” is, here’s a short refresher course from AP:  President Hugo Chavez announced Saturday the expropriation of a group of iron, aluminum and | Read More »

    The Arrogant, Dismissive – Even Derisive – President Obama

    We shouldn’t be surprised. It started when Obama threw his sweet, white grandmother under the bus, trying to sidestep the  Reverend Wright controversy: I can no more disown (Reverend Jeremiah Wright)him than I can disown my white grandmother, a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in | Read More »

    Armageddon: Global Densification, Part II

    The response to my post revealing my theory of anthropogenic Global Densification has been overwhelming. My blog and email servers were nearly knocked offline. As with all new apocalypse theories, GD seems to have spawned questions and deniers in the scientific community and panic in the general population. First let me speak to the general public. There is no cause for panic. While it is | Read More »

    Armageddon: Global Densification

    In today’s Wall Street Journal, Bret Stephens poses the question: What’s the Next ‘Global Warming’? That alone was enough to get my attention, but then he throws down the ultimate challenge: Herewith, then, I propose a readers’ contest to invent the next panic. It must involve something ubiquitous, invisible to the naked eye, and preferably mass-produced. And the solution must require taxes, regulation, and other | Read More »

    My-Partisanship: What Happens When the Won Gets Miffed at Everyone

    Our nation’s great white hope for the first post-racial, post partisan administration has been strained to the point of collapse. The post-racial mantle fell away swiftly, with the enactment of “The Professor and the Policeman” morality play last summer. From that point forward, any and all disagreements with Obama’s policies or tactics have been branded as racist by the Left; I guess because this incident | Read More »

    Standing On a Precipice Doesn’t Require a Plunge Into the Abyss

    Here’s one for the history books: the day the President of the United States proclaimed his animus for the capitalist system that built this country into the most affluent and powerful nation on earth, while simultaneously declaring his socialist underpinnings and designs for our country’s future. And he did so to the accompaniment of his own eloquent rhetoric for which he is so well known, | Read More »
