There’s so much debris up there now that a stand-by shuttle is also on the launch [...]

Headed to Boston for a speech at Wellesley. Should be fun. Doug Powers will be guest-blogging here again and I’ll pop in after I land.

Sin tax-mania!

But Steffen, an over 30-year meteorology veteran, has made some fine contributions to his [...]

Busy today! What’s on your minds?

Both michellemalkin.com and hotair.com were down this morning. Not sure what the cause was, but our tech team has us both back up and running again.

Godspeed!

I’m busy offline today with various and sundry projects. Talk amongst yourselves!

Super-duper-busy today with non-bloggy things. Talk amongst yourselves and don’t put your feet on the table.

“He needs some recognition for what he did.”

I was going to ask whether Barack Obama’s vetters had taken a vacation.
