Leaders on right call for new pick

Here's yet more erosion of the GOP base from support for the SCOTUS appointment of Harriet Miers.

Phyllis Schlafley, and Richard Viguerie both long-standing spear carriers for the conservative wing of the GOP, have joined with others in organizing a PAC group, WithdrawMiers.org, calling for a different nominee for the open SCOTUS seat, and acting as an opposition information clearinghouse.

I guess more and more conservative folks are discovering that in many cases "the Emperor has no clothes", and that his domestic policies seem more like FDR than Ronald Reagan.

China and Russia Challenging Space Leadership of the United States

In yet another case of the United States Intelligence community?s failure to recognize the world around them has been revealed due to recent developments in space.

One day we may wake up and realize that with little warning China has launched a precursor un-crewed earth orbital rendezvous EOR lunar circumnavigation mission. To be promptly followed by a manned lunar circumnavigation. After that a lunar orbital mission is quite possible, because once the LM-5 booster becomes operational after 2010, the Shenzhou spacecraft has an already built in design for earth orbit and can also orbit the moon. It could with proper equipment also support a manned lunar landing mission either through EOR or through the introduction of a new booster beyond the capability of the LM-5 which they have only in the last few days hinted at as required after the next Five Year Plan.

THIS is why the Chief thinks the current NASA plan for a return to the moon by 2018, while moving in the right direction, could well prove to be too little, too late to maintain our leadership, and ceding the "high ground" could ultimately prove to be fatal.
