- Eggs in a BasketThe Space Review has two contrasting articles this week. In one, Sam Dinkin speculates that all the reusable rocket designs competing for the X-Prize may lead to investor interest in the industry. On the other hand, Taylor Dinerman talks about how NASA is getting out of the reusable launch vehicle business. The bad news is NASA is getting out of the RLV business. The good news is NASA is getting out of the RLV business. |

- Ghana: Two 'witches' have appeared in court on charges of assault, after they had a disagreement over a human body they were eating. Prosecuting, Police Inspector K. Kpoafa told the court presided over by Mr Jacob Boon that in March 2004, a former policeman accompanied [Adwoa] Fosuaa and reported that Vida [Tiwaah] claimed she is a witch and that Fosuaa is also a witch and that they had moved together spiritually to practice their witchcraft. He said the police was told that Fosuaa is alleged to have killed her sister through witchcraft and shared the meat with Vida, adding Vida claimed that she had repented and no longer practices witchcraft and therefore, wanted to return the meat to Fosuaa. |

- Soldiers Letters to Michael Moore I call myself a liberal because I've been moved to tears by the words of Paul Wellstone, scenes in "The Awful Truth," the funeral of Matthew Sheppard, and the homeless people in the city I once lived in. It's not what I know, it's what I felt. It's dangerous to rely on emotions to guide your moral compass -- but it's the only way to be honest. *** Thank you for your book Stupid White Men. I picked this book up in Germany while I was coming back home from emergency leave. |
