The Crime of the Century: What BP and the US Government Don’t Want You to Know, Part I (Huffington Post)
If even only part of this is true, I hope the administration got a tanker full of SCOTUS-approved re-election contributions for selling out the national trust. They’ll need them. Jerry Cope: The Crime of the Century: What BP and the US Government Don’t Want You to Know, Part I.

What Israel Can Teach Us About Security
What’s sad is that this isn’t even new. For years the call has gone out to do what Israel does…but so far it can’t get beyond the US’s jingoistic bureaucracy. What Israel can teach us about security – thestar.com.

Quick Thoughts on the US Spaceflight Report
The Review of Human Spaceflight Plans Committee’s 154-page report was delivered on October 22. While it was an honest assessment of NASA’s woes, it’s recommendations were almost laughable.

Let Obama’s Healthcare Plan Die in Congress, Please
I’m so tired of talking about healthcare. There are solutions that work, that have been proven to work, and none will ever get passed because money brainwashes much easier than rhetoric.

Lobbyists Lobby For Lobbying
Long time readers of this blog know that I place a heap of blame on lobbyists for the ills of this country. So, excuse me for not shedding any tears when lobbyists complain that President Obama is severely limiting their access.

Obama’s First Budget – The Emperor Overlord’s Initial Thoughts
As Emperor Overlord of the United States, I have to give that new kid, Obama, credit. He doesn’t do things small. A $3.55 trillion budget. That takes some brass ones, it does. I should probably say a little something about this amusing little income/expense outline of his.

Fed Up With Partisan Knee-Jerks
Watching President Obama’s not-a-State-of-the-Union address in front of a joint session of Congress after his first month in office show in no uncertain terms how screwed up our political system is. A number of times, especially early on before the word got passed around that it looked bad on TV) when the Democrat-side of the chamber was applauding, the Republican-side sat on their hands in unison.

Making Obama’s Space Policy Fashionable
Every time President Obama unveils more details on his vision of America’s space future, I get increasingly sad. In some ways he’s making his predecessor look like a visionary.
