That was in March. What's the status of that lawsuit?

Ha, free speech! You're still allowed to post here aren't you? RedState on the other hand just banned me for linking to this article.

Oh, you had originally mentioned conventional reactors. If instead you want to develop new unproven technologies your cost estimates go out the window.

Lindsay, ever heard of peak uranium? Using your numbers of 820 new nuclear plants and estimating that each of those would require 200 tonnes of uranium per year, that's an extra 164 kilotonnes per year, about double the current world demand.

BTW, the US already imports a lot of uranium from Russia. I wonder which countries we'd be invading in your brave new world. Do they have any muslims in Kazakhstan?

Check out this graph, I took Bush's approval poll data and added the events mentioned here.

Katrina and Foley caused some obvious big dips, and you can even see the Schiavo effect. But what caused the dip around 5/06?

2007: 135k
2008: 134k
2009: 133k

(about 1,000 killed per year)

Bummer, we got interesting times.

A small point about Clausewitz. He didn't mean it when he said 'war is a continuation of politics by other means'. He was just using that idea as a contrast to the idea that 'war is a duel on a larger scale'. But he didn't believe that either. What he really believed is that war is a "a dynamic, inherently unstable interaction of the forces of violent emotion, chance, and rational calculation."

is really insulting - to Hitler.

Wow, that is the harshest take down of Coulter I've seen. I can't make up my mind if it's hyperbolic or not, but bravo ... Godwins rule not withstanding.

I'm as anti-war as they come, but I can't support immediate withdrawal right now. I subscribe to the we-broke-it theory. If we left right now it would be disastrous for Iraq. We need to prop up the new Iraq government, al-Maliki seems to me like someone we can work with. The only hope was Kerry's more-international-support possiblity, but with Bush that isn't going to happen.

Is it more immoral to stay in Iraq and kill more Americans (and Iraqis), or to pull out and watch the country descend into civil war and anarchy? Anybody remember what happened when we let Afghanistan descend into anarchy in the 90s?

I'm with Sully on this one. As the Clash said, "If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double", though in this case I think it's vice-versa.

it makes much more sense to direct one's ire (if any ire need be directed) at the policymakers than at the athletes who were merely responding rationally to very lax rules.

Except that the athletes were the policymakers through their union.
