No more need for that dangerous boost phase to get a space shuttle into orbit or the super-heated re-entry. Instead, super-strong elevator cables. Very cool -- if they can get it to work.

It appears that Democrat presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark had better position himself as being the kind of military guy liberals who hate the military can vote for, because he isn't going to get the military vote.

The Weekly Standard's Jonathan Last takes on the Dixie Chicks' latest pronouncement that they're no longer country music artists -- they're rock 'n' rollers.

A court has ruled that Cruz Bustamante's "creative financing" with regard to his ads opposing Prop. 54 is a no-no.

Despite having an aspirin-resistant, persistent, splitting headache for much of the day (hence the non-existent posting -- I'm feeling a little better now), I managed to watch the en banc hearing in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on the California recall. I'm not going to predict what the court's decision will be come Tuesday […]
