Update: Oh pulleeaze! The liberal Democrats who wanted a witch hunt into the CIA and its interrogation efforts to save this country from attack should have known they were treading on thin ice AND would pay a huge price for being wrong if America sided with the CIA and President Bush. Now the Dems are […]

Looks to be minor so far, but the Space Shuttle Atlantis took a debris hit on ascent: Engineers at the Johnson Space Center are evaluating a small area of tile damage on the forward part of the shuttle Atlantis’ right wing where it joins the ship’s fuselage. The nicked tiles, apparently damaged during launch by […]

We finally have a test case for the resurrection of a center right GOP in the Florida senate race for 2010: The expected announcement Tuesday by Florida Gov. Charlie Crist that he’s running for the Senate would seem to be a rare bit of good news for beleaguered Republicans.  But while Crist is a brand-name recruit with sky-high approval […]

President Obama and his administration have been living a delusion when it comes to the economy and the federal deficit. Interestingly enough, we have new deficit numbers from the White House which showed the CBO was much more accurate than the White House rosy estimates. The graph below illustrates the difference between the CBO and White House: […]

Just a reminder on the historic event coming today which I posted on previously. Today is the day NASA launches the last servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, a challenging upgrade mission to allow Hubble to operate for another 4-5 years. And it won’t be trivial: Nasa is set to dispatch seven astronauts on […]

Update: It’s even worse than the bottom line numbers indicate. Apparently, even with such small amounts going to actual projects and being spent, the Department of Transportation can’t keep track of the money: Counties suffering the most from job losses stand to receive the least help from President Barack Obama’s plan to spend billions of […]

I am no longer a ‘conservative’ because the term has been poisoned and run through the muck by the far right. ‘True conservatives’ scream at diverse opinions with anger, unable to fathom why anyone would think differently (even in modest terms). To them Stalin, Soros and John McCain/George Bush are basically cut from the same […]

Nancy Pelosi is not stupid. She is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, fourth in line to lead this nation. But lately, she either wants America to think she is a few shades away from the Hollywood classical dumb blonde, or she thinks Americans are too slow to figure out she knew and condoned […]

It is common for newbie administrations to come into town with grand ideas of how they can control and change America. It usually only takes a few bruising encounters with reality to adjust their thinking. But Imperial Obama administration has no credible opposition and fawning and compliant news media (what is left of it). So […]

Update: Ed Morrissey notes (H/T reader Darth Aggie) that the only reason the April numbers were not the 6th month of 600,000+ job losses is because 72,000 low paying, temporary census jobs hid the true toll of the lack of any federal stimulus. These few gains were offset by adjustments for previous months were more […]
