Every case they’ve taken up has been a landmark case, whether they won or lost. This one may be as well.

Too bad you can’t, unless you’re already rich. It’s just one more instance where government has thrown up a barrier that makes it harder to climb up the ladder.

Opposite of the solutions and philosophies that Liberals and Democrats espouse, big government keeps people down rather than raising them up.

Significantly. It sucks to be Asian, or a red-state White.

I’ve always argued that it should be illegal for public institutions to discriminate negatively or even positively based on race. If colleges or any other institution have a particular concern, it should be based on geography, i.e. urban poor from Harlem, or somesuch. Yes, that’s still effectively based on race — but if some poor from another race move there, they would qualify as well.

He doesn’t bother to find out why the sob story of the day he points to is having trouble finding a job.

We can only hope so. It was never about the environment, anyways – but always about fascist control of other people’s lives and shifting money from unfavored demographics to favored demographics.

Politics to the left, and a small amount of the right, is a religion. That’s why the left hates the right. Any doubt I had about that premise has long since worn away by watching the media, the current Democrat elected leaders, and my own experiences living in Massachusetts.

But don’t tell anyone.

Someone else who isn’t the government-sponsored, academic-led ITER has raised enough funding to make a serious attempt at it

Actually, a whole new type of orbit: Levitating orbits. All you need is a bit of propulsion, such as from a solar sail.

Next Big Future points out that the next logical step to all the white roof research is to put awnings over our roads. It’s an interesting idea.

The DISCLOSE act failed. You can read a bit more about it here.

And passes a bill to give its electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote.

Of course, like with the Senate appointment issue, I’m sure the Massachusetts politicians will change the rules for themselves as soon as it looks like the other way is more favorable to Democrats once again.

In one chart. Yeah, this bureaucracy seems sure to cut down on costs.

Two articles came out today about science at the atomic scale:

1. German scientists managed to measure the smallest interval in nature ever: the time it takes electrons to respond to a light impulse and get knocked off their orbit. Previously this was thought to be an instantaneous reaction.

2. Scientists in Zurich managed to make more accurate measurements of particles than people thought could be made in the face of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.

He gives in, docks his boat in MA, and pays the taxes owed. It must suck to be unable to dodge out of taxes just like the rest of us.

Intel’s got a prototype optical connector for electronics to use to send data at massive speeds from one component of a device to another. It should start being used sometime the middle of this decade. Neat!

That’s a neat idea, and better technology to deal with the problem is never a bad thing…still, the problem with the recent spill wasn’t the lack of technology to handle it, or even the cheapness of the technology, or the availability of oil cleaning supplies. It was incompetent bureaucracies that were more interested in pursuing ideological agendas than actually accomplishing anything worthwhile or even than preparing for the crisis to get worse, as they knew it would.

The House Foreign Affairs committee is having a meeting about how to meet climate finance commitments to the developing world if they can’t get new revenue from a cap and trade scheme.

It’s blatant looting of the American taxpayer to spend on ideology and graft. Just like everything else the Democrats have been working on.

But he is far enough removed that he can take 3 vacations in August, and his wife can rent out 30 rooms at a top hotel in Spain

Remember when the press cared about presidents taking vacations while the country was in trouble? Wouldn’t it be nice if they cared about Democratic hypocrisy, as well?

The revolution is still going on, as more damaging facts are revealed about the regime
