Non-political links:<\/p>\n

  • The abandoned Project Buran<\/a>. The photos of the cockpit are particularly striking.<\/li>\n
  • I was going to respond to the absurd charge that the information age has not improved our economy. Fortunately, Sully’s readers<\/a> got there first. From my perspective, the information age has created an explosion of astronomy, multiplying our productivity by orders of magnitude. The mission on which I work would not have been remotely possible 20 years ago.<\/li>\n
  • Meh<\/a>. I’m not surprised that many gain little from college. College has become very hit or miss. It’s possible, if you work hard, to get a great education in just about any college or university. It’s also possible to spend four years drinking and partying and learn nothing.<\/li>\n

    Political Links:<\/p>\n

  • Just a friendly reminder<\/a> of why the GOP should not be put back in charge of the War on Terror. And another<\/a> of why Obama is little better. This<\/a> too.<\/li>\n
  • Stuff like this<\/a> is why I’m really warming to Chris Christie.<\/li>\n
  • Greenwald tears into<\/a> Joe Lieberman. I would agree with most of it and add, from my conservative-libertarian perspective, that Lieberman is also an uber Nanny-Stater who despises personal freedom and see few limits to the power and scope of goverment. I never understood his popularity with the Right.<\/li>\n
  • Read how Ohio’s green energy initiative could have lead to deforesting the state<\/a>. This is why the government should not run energy policy.<\/li>\n
  • Another perspective on the “agreement”<\/a> between the Obamas and Walmart on healthy foods. Always follow the money.<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
