Weather Outlook: Cloudy With Scattered Astronauts



The commercialization of space took a big hit the other day. Not only did Space X have their Falcon 1 rocket blow up on them, they lost the ashes of both James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek) and Mercury Astronaut Gorden Cooper.

(Love the way NASA types refer to motherin' big explosions as "anomalies")

  6. BCL, whatever you, don't be impertinent when you comment on Luiza Ch Savage's latest campaign to ratchet up islamohysteria. My two glib, innocuous comments on the her "Bigger than Ezra II" post at Macleans slipped into moderation ex post facto, thus they've disappeared down the memory hole and don't display to anyone but me.

    How Orwellian. Free speech indeed.
