The Star Spangled Cosmos
I finally got the new blog, The Star Spangled Cosmos, online and the rest of the site, on www.justinfeng.com (not a blog), should be up either this Thanksgiving or Christmas break. If the site doesn't load or if you see an error, try reloading the page. I may be making a few changes to the html or tweaking with movable type. Make sure that when you link to the blog, you use the url ssc.justinfeng.com, not www.justinfeng.com
I decided not to transfer the posts from this site to the new site, because the new blog will focus more on spaceflight and space policy than politics (though political posts will, inevitably, creep in). I have also decided not to use blogger for anything but a backup for the new site (I really like movable type), so consider this blog closed. Perhaps I'll store this blog's archives somewhere on my new site, but don't expect any more posts here.

New Site and a New Blog
My last attempt to start a new movable-type blog failed, partly due to difficulties with the web host. Anyway, I just registered a new domain which will host my blog under a subdomain. Can you guess what the domain name is?

Cold War: Part II
Russian President Vladimir Putin is saying that Russia is working on a new type of nuclear missile, referring to them as "things which do not exist and are unlikely to exist in other nuclear powers."
He also says that their new missile will be able to penetrate the recently deployed U.S. missile shield.
My take? If Putin wants another arms race, then so be it. It will only give us more of an incentive to become stronger.

Proof that Glenn Reynolds Worships Frank J.
We all know that Glenn Reynolds puts puppies blenders and drinks them. We also know that he is a satan-worshipping hobo murderer. Today, Glenn implied that Frank J. is satan, which indicates that Glenn secretly worships Frank J.

Mmm...Canadian Smoked Salmon
I'm hungry. I usually like beef, but for some strange reason, I currently feel like eating fish. Lots of fish. Lots and lots of fish.

Skynet is Here
The Pentagon is going to spend billions of dollars developing what Peter Teets calls an "Internet in the sky", officially designated the "Global Information Grid", and what some call "Skynet". In it's current stage of development, this system will be used primarily for transferring critical information (satellite images, intelligence) to soldiers in the battlefield. No word on whether it will be used to operate advanced remote-controlled military vehicles controlled by an artificial intelligence program that achieves self awareness and manages to install itself on every PC in the world, attempting to destroy humanity but failing because some kid who was saved by a robot from the future rises up and leads humanity to victory, or something like that.
Seriously though, I think it's a good idea. The cost is a little bit on the high side, but I think its worth the money to keep our military as efficient and as effective as possible (just as long as they don't spend $600 on a toilet seat again). If that means we should spend billions of dollars developing an information network to help our soldiers to defeat insurgents with fewer casualties, then I'm for it. I'm for anything that will make our military more effective. Some might argue that by doing so, we are making it easier for our leaders to declare war on other countries or certain groups of people. I won't argue with them, because I believe that Ronald Reagan made it perfectly clear why America should have a effective military:
"We are not a warlike people. Quite the opposite. We always seek to live in peace. We resort to force infrequently and with great reluctance, and only after we have determined that it is absolutely necessary. We are awed by the forces of destruction loose in the world in the nuclear era, but neither can we be naïve or foolish. Four times in my lifetime America has gone to war, bleeding the lives of its young men into the sands of beachheads, the fields of Europe, and the jungles and rice paddies of Asia. We know only too well that war comes not when the forces of freedom are strong, but when they are weak. It is then that tyrants are tempted."
Note that the Gipper won the cold war not by invading the Soviet Union, but by strengthening our military at a rate that they simply could not match. If our military, equipped with this new technology, could take out the insurgents easily with overwhelming force and few casualties, then there would be less of an incentive for the insurgents to fight. The end to the war on terror would be in sight. If technology can win the war on terror, I will gladly hand over my tax dollars to fund it.

Karl Rove Used Halliburton to Steal the Election Again so that Bush Could Continue to Oppress Fahrenheit 9/11 Fanatics
Even with a 4 million vote margin, some nuts are making up all these weird conspiracy theories about how Bush stole the election...again. Why am I not surprised?
The Kerry campaign accepted the truth quite quickly for the left's standards. Give them some time, and maybe (hopefully) they'll try to change.

They Just Don't Get It
These guys are sorry. Sorry for what? For taking out two oppressive governments and freeing people at our own expense? For being decisive when the UN couldn't make up it's mind?

Is this the Future?
To quote pioneer astronaut Jose Jimenez, I hope not. By the way, I liked the "Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton-Bush era in U.S. politics" part. I'd like to add that after Jeb Bush, Chelsea Clinton would be old enough to run, then George Prescott Bush might run after Chelsea, resulting in a Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton-Bush era.
