Tuesday Open Thread [4.30.13]

To quote Gawker:

Virgin Galactic, the space-tourism business launched by ruddy cartoon businessman Richard Branson, pulled off its first successful rocket-powered flight yesterday, bringing the world one step closer to a future in which rich people can go to space, for a little while.

A CBS News/New York Times poll has 62% of Americans opposed to any US intervention in Syria, while 56% think that North Korea is a threat that can be contained for now. Indeed, North Korea is such a horrible threat that we have not heard from the child like pretend dictator for weeks. And why? Because our horrible evil media has been focused on the Boston bombing.

In Pennsylvania, a new Quinnipiac poll has such horrible numbers for the Republican Governor that I am now worried that he will bag a reelection campaign all together, in favor of a Republican that might have a chance. Gov. Tom Corbett trails all three major Democratic challengers:

Joe Sestak (D) tops Corbett 48% to 34%, Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D) is ahead 47% to 34%, while Rob McCord (D) is up 44% to 35%.

50% to 32% that Corbett does not deserve reelection. His approval rate is 38% to 47%.
