And now this:

The Corner: GOP Congressman: Tea Partiers Affected by IRS Scandal Should Receive Financial Compensation from Government

Perhaps Congressman Steve King reads Ricochet.

(although... his voice is autotuned something fierce)
(no matter... it's still pretty cool)

Wow.  This is very, very cool.

Especially considering the song Space Oddity is 44 years old.

And especially considering the previous videos that Chris Hadfield has done:

• Wet Washcloth in Space
• Peanut Butter Sandwich in Space
• Tears in Space

...and there are more

This is actually a bit of an opportunity.  

With the precedent established by the Pigford case, Ricochet and all other conservative organizations, as well as their members, are entitled to an endless supply of enormous monetary settlements.

(Someone mentioned wanting to increase Ricochet membership?  This will do it.)

Peter, that photo!  You've just handed EJ a wonderful piece of source material.

Ooh, the Objects of Curiosity catalog?  Can you save that for me?  I never got a copy.  :-)

These aren't USPS "bulk mail" though, right?  That's a serious problem; where the USPS actually subsidizes waste.  

In this case it seems that Restoration Hardware believes the cost of printing and mailing these catalogs brings in revenue.  And that should stand or fall based on the results.

I'm guessing that RH is sending out these large catalog packages to select past customers to see if they can be lured back into the stores.   That would make a lot of business sense.

I am so not surprised... but it's good to hear it from the source.

One of the few places you can hear Dr. Sowell is on Dennis Miller's radio show.  March 20 was the last time.  It's a joy to hear the two of them together.

I agree that there have been a lot of Uncommon Knowledge episodes with Dr. Sowell.  

Perhaps it would make sense to spin off the Thomas Sowell interviews as a separate series.  "All Sowell, all the time."

Oooh, that's kind of the opposite of what you intended.

Eeeewwww.

(Especially with this little infection here...)

Wouldn't it be ironic if this very conversation made it to "Most Popular"?

(I sent this as a second comment to help the process along.)

[edit: typo]

Call it "Most Active" instead of "Most Popular".  Then it wouldn't be as judgmental and the page visitor can still find out the answer to the question, "What's the buzz, tell me what's a happenin'?".

Gasoline *is* a pretty remarkable fuel, when you add up its features:

• easy to store, no special containers or anything
• easy to transport
• doesn't explode (gasoline burns, only explodes in vapor form under pressure)
• works well over wide temperature variations
• doesn't hurt you if you get any on your skin
• inexpensive
• lightweight
• good energy density

...and so forth.  Not too bad.

"Dented"? Heh-heh...

Aiighhh!   George, y'r killing us.

Yeah, it's a good trick to know:  If someone links to an article behind the WSJ paywall and you're not a subscriber, you can copy-paste the title into Google, hit return, click on Google's link, and enjoy the full article.

It's been that way for a long time.

Heh-heh...

How far the party has come from JFK's "Ask not what your country can do for you..."

... and it makes Drudge this morning.  "Howard U Student: 'I Want A Government That Is Going To Help Me'..."

The last question is a hum dinger:

All right, we'll do one more. But it's got to be an easy question.

No problem. Good afternoon, Senator. My name is Keenan Glover, I'm an administration of justice major from Rochester, New York. A freshman as well.

You say you want to provide a government that leaves us alone. Quite frankly, I don't want that. I want a government that is going to help me. I want a government that will help me fund my college education. I want a government that won't define me by my fast foot [?] nor by my family's income. I'm a dollar sign with a heartbeat in this nation. This society is mirror image of capital hill.

Do you, Senator Rand Paul, have a formulated solution to come up with new American values so that the citizens of this nation have a worth of more than dead presidents and Ben Franklin.
