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.

The New York Times has recently speculated that following the defeat in the 2008 elections, that Republicans have found a new voice. That may be so, but should more reasonable old-line voices reassert themselves?

With all of the “debate”…with all of the money that’s necessary…when you sit down and crunch the numbers, there are few sensible solutions and only one that is fair.

I have five drafts of healthcare blogs written over the past several months. I decided instead of making researched arguments which were all but impossible to make accessible, I’d just do a quick blog on my thoughts and conclusions.

It’s really interesting to me (and not in a good way) how the sheeple in the public and Congress are so easily swayed by “The Big Lie”. Then again I’m also amazed (and not in a good way) that people hang on every venom-coated word spewed by the “fair and balanced” pundits

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.

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.

In the many pushes to repeal death penalties around the country, the most compelling in recent days has been the cost of death row inmates versus life imprisoned convicts. Clearly the system needs to be adjusted, but how?

I’ve gotten a lot of emails about my articles about the necessity of the U.S. converting to metric soon (President Obama, Give Us a Yard and We’ll Take a Meter; Some Practical Consequences of Going Metric). Let me address a few of them.

The stock market continues to tank. Banks are teetering on the brink. General Motors’ auditors say that it likely will end up in bankruptcy. Meanwhile the new Congress and President are settling in for their very familiar dance. As I’m getting tired of hearing the same ol’ same ol’, I think it’s time that we just deal with what needs dealing with.
