Richly funny and invigorating, Man on a Mission tags along with Richard on his years-long quest to be the second Garriott into space. And maybe come back.” So please, come chat with astronaut Richard Garriott, director MIKE WOOLF, executive producer BRADY DIAL, and host Lisa Derrick as we prepare for lift off, 8pm ET.

Thanks, Elliott, love the picture, too. Looking forward to watching Perry push for re-invading Iraq and his other plans to take us back to the stone age, anyway.
Poor Paul Krugman – it will be a wonder if his head does not explode with that panel at ABC
Watching Krugman listen incredulously as Geo. Will prattles trickle down ideology is worth the price of admission/cable.
This is an amazing and special edition of Sunday Talking Bobble Heads. Wow, Cokie, Nooner, Casino Jack, Gay Lindsey, and reality based Krugman, Katrina vdH, and Ohanian!
But Max Boot, I feel a thrill running up and down my appendages.
And there is an actual fact checker from the Washington Truth Vigilantes.
GPS; Max Boot debates Peter Galbraith
should be thrill a minute.
I can’t believe new candidate Colbert will only be on one major talk show.
Culture of Truth and Colbert, are together on one day! Well worth the time.
Krugman titled a blog post yesterday, “My Head – Double Talking”
Bernie Sanders next on ‘Up’
If Mitt wins SC and FL… and if Newt, Santorum et al drop out by Nevada… does voter participation in GOP primaries drop precipitously… thereby giving Ron Paul a renewed viability?
I think most GOP primaries are still winner-take-all, if you get more than 50%… although I have no idea if that 50% includes uncommitted or “blank” votes. Would be fun though to see the MSM coronate Mitt the nominee… only to be thrown off kilter and see Ron Paul win a few primaries that weren’t even getting polled.
The “best case” scenario for Ron Paul would be a brokered convention. His support never goes above the mid twenties level and his low point is never below the early twenties. Willard has about the same numbers with maybe a shade of an advantage but he also has the money and the organization that Paul can only dream about.
This is a big story that the mainstream lamestream MSNBC does not wish to tell us. MS being microsoft. The US Killer Drones were hacked because they were using Bill Gates back doors.
The Spy guys have finally done something smart and have migrated to OPEN SOURCE Linux. Way cool.
I agree that Mitt has gobs more money than Paul. But to say that Mitt’s got organization that far exceeds Paul is unsubstantiated at this point. Paul’s got dedicated legions who — after falling short in 2008 — learned the rules and took over positions of authority within the GOP. For example, in Iowa Paul had five state central committee members as supporters. And Nevada was a complete mess because — if I recall correctly — even back in 2008 the Paulistas knew the rules and took command… only to have the meeting adjourned and the relevance of Nevada delegates to the 2008 McCain convention get ignored.
You may be right that Paul’s organization is lacking, but I cannot yet agree on that point.
You want thorough, Elliott provides thorough. What a list! Thanks, Elliott.
