OK, want to see people randomly turning red, giggling for no clear reason or coming completely lost in a meeting in mid-sentence. Transmit spam mail to their eye glasses so only they can see the erctile-dysfunction ad: It could be extremely useful as a portable GPS system, but there are concerns that it could be [...]

Romney keeps plowing forward with his silver-spoon, blue blooded bumbling. His Highnessness (yes, that one is deliberate) has taken pity on one of the lesser types: Amid shaking hands and signing campaign posters, Mitt Romney did something he has never done before on the ropeline: He took out his wallet and handed a wad of [...]

I am a small business owner and fiscal conservative. I am pro-business and bullish on America’s economic engine: small business. I am all for smaller government (actually, the smallest possible government). I support the Tea Party and Libertarian goals. I would take the free market over central government controls any day of the week. And [...]

Give the administration kudos, they just stole the GOP’s thunder by dangling a carrot (and key precedent for future Presidents) that will be a game changer in the election: President Barack Obama will ask Congress on Friday for greater power to shrink the federal government, and his first idea is merging six sprawling trade and [...]

Today we are blessed with two harsh examples of how the GOP took a growing wave of anti-government anger in the electorate in 2010 and are about to blow it by nominating a big government GOP candidate (Mitt Romney) to go up against a big government liberal Democrat (Barack Obama). A lot of this has [...]

Live blogging some of the early returns in the NH primary and there are some surprises (or maybe it is better to say confirmation that the voters are not following the script being spewed by the Political Industrial Complex). I was wondering if NH would up end the conventional wisdom, as Iowa did. So far [...]

I always marvel at people who think PR is more powerful than reality. The bureaucrats in DC are a prime example of this weird belief system. They put out dodgy unemployment numbers and expect everyone suffering from a poor job market to suddenly think everything is OK! It’s clearly magic wand time in DC again. [...]

With the Christmas season now over, I expect to see the weekly jobs picture start to slide back into the danger zone as the holiday part time work load disappears. And we can see that already in this week’s job data (which data reports through 12/24/11): In the week ending December 24, the advance figure [...]

As I predicted yesterday, Iowa has really shaken up the GOP primary and demonstrated how weak Romne is. In a true surprise result, Rick Santorum has jumped to the head of the ‘anybody but Romney’ pack and tied the former Massachusetts Governor in the Iowa caucuses: Romney won 30,015 votes, compared with 30,007 for Santorum, [...]

OK, so the Iowa caucuses are being held today and everyone is atwitter (literally) about who will win. The short answer is no one. The result of Iowa will be as follows: Whoever wins will win by such a small margin it will be seen as the one who was most popular among all the [...]

I know planet-wide science is still very much in its infancy, since we have only in the last 40 years really started exploring our solar system in detail and understanding how planets might work. But one thing you begin to realize rapidly when dealing with space is the issue of scale. A global scale is [...]
