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 Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
So I guess Romney will clean up now that Santorum has gotten out. Ha ha.
