It was a rare confluence — the heads of the space agencies for Europe, Canada and Russia, along with senior representatives from the space agencies of India and Japan — all up on the dais together at a hotel in Washington DC, where they were on hand on 22 May to talk about the benefits of international collaboration at the Global Space Exploration Conference.
Interestingly, the leader of the space agency whose headquarters is just a few blocks away was not on the stage. That’s because NASA administrator Charles Bolden was in Florida, watching the attempt by SpaceX to send its Dragon capsule to the International Space Station.
Of course, libertarians might be wrong about what helps and what hurts. Maybe we’re mistaken in our policy prescriptions. But those mistakes, if they exist, aren’t because we “care” less than liberals, just as mistakes by liberals (should their policies in fact not work) aren’t the result of them caring less than libertarians.Indeed. WJM is not reality, no matter how much you wish it were so.
Doctor: Now, tell me if you feel anyth...Moi: YEOWWWWWWWWWW OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH!
There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload.'
SALT LAKE CITY, UT - A citizen with a gun stopped a knife wielding man as he began stabbing people Thursday evening at the downtown Salt Lake City Smith's store.
Police say the suspect purchased a knife inside the store and then turned it into a weapon. Smith's employee Dorothy Espinoza says, "He pulled it out and stood outside the Smiths in the foyer. And just started stabbing people and yelling you killed my people. You killed my people."

Things are going to get much worse before they get better. No establishment EVER goes down easy. But in the end, hammer will always shatter glass. (And isn’t it ironical that the originators of Hopeful Stupidity thought the hammer was theirs?) Particularly when it’s a million pen hammers, wielded with gusto.
Carry on my friends. Aim for the shiny bits.
Romney's a life boat. A life boat may not be the boat you want to be in. But it can keep you afloat and give you the chance to get to the boat you want to be in later.
Romney is a long way from who I want in office. But he’s not running for a single term. He doesn’t want to piss the rest of us off before his re-election. I don’t think he’s stupid either. He’ll pander, but I think we can be the people he panders to. And the more crap the left throws at him, the less I dislike him.Again, ah-yep.
Fix, no fix-- Doesn't matter. If you were drowning, would you struggle, or would you just close your eyes and sink quietly? You fight, dammit, or you might as well be a rutabaga.
As an aside, when people first meet me they think I’m a grouchy, cantankerous, anti-social old bastard. Once they get to know me they realize they’re mistaken. My parents were married.
“Start listening to Rush Limbaugh.” That was the message representatives from Media Matters for America and the National Organization for Women delivered to NOW chapter leaders in a secret, narrowly focused strategy session Wednesday night.
When a man wants you in chains, hand and foot, compromise is not agreement to ankle shackles only.Ah-yep.
Right off the bat, “#Julia” trended to the top of Twitter as the second-most popular current hashtag in the United States; to the horror of David Axelrod and the increasingly dated tacticians of the Obama campaign, virtually every mention of #Julia was a conservative mocking the slideshow...
On my count, the last five hashtags introduced by Obama’s campaign have been instant public relations disasters; another smear tactic backfired into the legendary #ObamaEatsDogs. They keep trying, however, and that’s because propaganda, sloganeering, and various issues for rallying the rabble are the only weapon in the progressive toolbag.
“Julia first appears in Nineteen Eighty-Four at the age of 26, an enthusiastic participant in the ‘Two Minutes of Hate’ directed against Emmanuel Goldstein, a Party co-founder who claims the Revolution was betrayed”
Ok, everyone got that? The leaders of the statist vision of government in this country just tried to drop a bit of political campaign propaganda on us, but used a character out of a book that serves as a direct warning on the nature of overreaching suffocating government to do it.
You-cannot-make-this-up!
“Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win.”– Robert A. Heinlein
Any author who isn’t at least experimenting with indie is a born slave...
Why? Because what is mine, I keep. My talent, my ability, my work, my CONTROL. What is mine, I keep. I can destroy it or increase it. It’s my right. I’m a free woman. I grant no one the right to control me, or keep me, or impair me...
There is no such thing with fairness. There’s only this:
What is mine, I keep.
Remember, everybody: Whenever an Occupier commits a crime, he’s not really an Occupier. All Occupier crimes are completely unrelated incidents, because shut up.Actually, that seems to be a step up from their normal logic, which is generally just "Shut up."
An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
– Proverbs 16:27-30
