Let Us Celebrate the End of the Heat Wave
Or, this is what came to my mind on seeing showers in Harvard Square:

Amused Again: Judge Kreep?
Apparently Birther Gary Kreep won his election in California and will become Judge Kreep ( Read more... ) -
I'm Silly Amused
I was wandering the TV Tropes site as I frequently do and discovered that they have a page for Great Big Sea (not to be confused with the Great C). They're probably the most major band gaining a page there that I've actually seen (maybe the only one, actually), that at a performance in Copley Square umpty years ago.
And today I was walking down ( Read more... ) -
A Judge Named Kreep?
Mind you, that's hardly a major negative; him being a Birther and apparently way less qualified that his opponent is rather more serious. But it amuses me that California District 34 might get a Judge Kreep. Isn't election of judges wonderful? :) -
The Future Speaks, Dutch?
When you see stories of the future in space, of people living out in the solar system or the broader galaxy, they tend to speak languages like English or Japanese, with maybe some Russian or Chinese. At least that's my narrow impression. Part of that is of course who is writing or producing the story, but part of that is because of who seems to be ( Read more... ) -
The Rings of Earth
So, what would the sky look like if Earth had rings like those of Saturn?
Found by way of the UNA Frontiers web comic. -
The Joy of Purge
In Florida 182,000 people are on a list to be removed from the voter rollsAnd that's how the Republicans win, maybe. Well, at least the danger. You combine GOP efforts to suppress voter turnout with liberal/progressive sorts opting out because Obama wasn't the Messiah and the Democrats are wimps and you get Republican total control of the Federal ( Read more... ) -
Thought for the Day
If President Obama is such a socialist as the right claims, why is his administration essentially privatizing the Space Program?
I'm not sure that this is a good idea, mind you, but I do recall some Analog stories and other stuff suggesting that private companies were the key to really being a spacefareing society. I don't see Obama getting much ( Read more... ) -
And Again Amused, Although Maybe It's Mean of Me
You've probably heard about former Red Sox player Curt Schilling and his game company? The one that moved out of Massachusetts after managing to get a bribe, umm, guaranteed loans from the state of Rhode Island, and now isn't able to make payments?
I'd forgotten that Schilling is a Republican who supports small government. Go figure, huh? -
Umm, So Arizona Elects Idiots?
So the Arizona Secretary of State is now saying that President Obama might not be on the ballot there in November because he apparently thinks it's possible Obama wasn't born in the USSeriously. An elected official is saying this. Even though the President had the birth certificate relased and the state of Hawaii has multiple times siad that Obama ( Read more... )
