LINK-O-RAMA
Last week, I was working toward a milestone at work on a case I've been dealing with for eight years. As tempting as it is to write about what happened, I'll keep to my rule of not writing here about my professional work as a lawyer -- suffice it to say that things turned out very well. At any rate, one result of having been so busy and keeping the kind of unusual hours that come with a litigator's life is the buildup of links in my browser, which means ...
Space Cadets: The Air Force will be launching its unmanned orbital spaceplane demonstrator, the X-37. Something like the X-37 should have been the direction we went after Apollo, instead of the expensive and unwieldy political pig trough that the Shuttle system turned out to be. Good luck to the USAF! With success in the X-37 program, somebody could be very close to the dream of a truly reusable, practical spaceplane for human access to space.
Our War: As opposed to "their war," is going very well, indeed. Here's an item about Francis Fukuyama having to pay up on bets that Iraq wouldn't get better. Very satisfying indeed because, having written one great book, Fukuyama has since pretty much proved himself to be a very shallow thinker, in my book.
