I didn’t know that Mr. Bill had a blog. He does, and it’s on the New Orleans Times-Picayune blog site. His recent “Space Station N.O. To Mission Control” post does an interesting blend of two popular arguments. The first is the nowadays-discredited “we put a man on the moon, surely we can ——” line; the second is that “we’re doing more to fix —— than we’re doing to fix New Orleans.” Interestingly, he a) doesn’t mention the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and b) doesn’t complain about dollar amounts, instead pointing up America’s “talent, intellect and ability” in fixing (other) problems.
