An Unfortunate Headline
This Reuters story about a Hubble discovery of a “homeless black hole” provided a lot of grist for the freeper mill:
They realized it was homeless when they noticed a cardboard sign that read “Will suck light for food”…
Give it a government debit card loaded with two grand.
SpaceX Reporting
Defense Industry Daily has a rundown on current plans for SpaceX, and their leap directly from Falcon 1 to Falcon 9. They don’t mention the recent engine test failure, though.
It’s also amusing that they describe Mike Griffin as “…a former NASA exec and president of the venture-capital firm In-Q-Tel.”
I’m pretty sure he has a new job now.
What He Said
John Podhoretz, on Republicans:
Sometimes…they’re just…indefensible.
Hard to imagine Kos, or Kevin Drum, or Yglesias saying that about Democrats.
“Put Up Goal Posts”
As a loyal Wolverine (and the pain of 1998 never goes away completely), I’m compelled to post these Cornhusker jokes, via (bravely) Jonah Goldberg, who’s in the heart of Cornhusker country.
Do I need a “College Football” category?

Casting Call
It occurs to me that the Baroque Cycle would make a great HBO series. Someone on an email list suggested Angelina Jolie as Eliza, but I think that Diane Kruger would be a better choice. I’d go with Christopher Lloyd as Isaac, and Johnny Depp as Jack Shaftoe.
Any other suggestions? Who would play Daniel?
Take Away The Punchbowl
Claudia Rossett says that President Bush should spoil Kofi’s party:
When we have a clean, efficient U.N.
Busy
I’m supporting a deliverable to NASA, and will be tied up all day (and much of the evening) on it, after which I’ll be taking a red-eye flight back to Florida tonight. Probably not much posting until late tomorrow, Eastern time. There is a lot to blog about when I get time, though, if you check out the usual suspects over at The Space Review, Space Politics, Space Transport News, and Mars Blog most of which will have links to other interesting stuff.
