Commercial Crew Program - NASA+

An interesting combination of products from different companies that are designed for the "Commercial Crew Program" coming soon. Video from KSC.

Rick Santorum - NBC

I watched NBC's "Meet The Press" today, and as expected, host David Gregory did everything he could to try to bait and trip up his conservative guest, GOP candidate for President, Rick Santorum. Nothing worked, and Santorum answered directly and clearly, obviously frustrating the blatantly left leaning host who could never, ever lay claim to being fair and or non-biased. Gregory was clearly frustrated a couple of times when he thought he had good bait and gotcha questions and once when Santorum laughed at him, saying that he gets that question a lot, producing a humiliated look on Gregory's face. Santorum proceeded to answer each one, making it obvious that some of the questions were contrived, silly, and meant to elicit a headline.
Gregory's characteristic bully attitude and demeanor didn't seem to work with Sen. Santorum, who laughed at the bully and responded calmly.
I'd tell you how I thought Mitt Romney did in an interview with Gregory on Meet The Press, but he has declined to go on with Gregory. That is probably a good choice on his part.

Rahm's Autograph

Rahm Emanuel's autograph for the Second Amendment Foundation. There will be more. Rahm is bitter about this and now wants all of Illinois to begin a gun registration program, purportedly to fight crime in Chicago. Will he ever realize that going after the legal gun owners doesn't fight crime, but going after the criminals will work every time it's tried? $400,000. paid out by Chicago tax payers should be a reminder, or even a wake up call.

Symphony of Science has an interesting way to make the case.

Vampire Lights

You don't need to be a vampire to realize these are a hazard to look at. Seems odd that the manufacturer would highlight a feature and show so graphically the grim reaction that happens when someone looks at the car at night while approaching it from the other direction or having it right behind you.
