I believe Thom has recently claimed that the Canadian Supreme Court cannot strike down laws.
This is incorrect. They can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_constitutional_law
And in fact they ruled on same-sex marriage in 2004: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_re_Same-Sex_Marriage

Weren't some libertarians already trying to have an artificial island all to themselves?
As for NASA handing things over to private companies, that will mostly happen eventually (I doubt by 2018, though). NASA will shift toward being a regulatory agency rather than trying to run the missions. Currently, no private company's craft are rated for human transportation, and it's going to be a slow process to make private space passage standard.

I thought I heard "auxoray-valentously ugly". Maybe the beginning is "uxor-", which means wife, but I'm totally stumped.

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
So I guess Romney will clean up now that Santorum has gotten out. Ha ha.
