ES!

Eureka!

ES!!

Woo-hoo, three Zeds today!

I think hookers are on just about everyone’s mind tonight in varying degrees!

5?

Boy-oh-boy you guys were pretty naughty tonight. EPU’d I said that I’ve been reading Dan Savage for too many years to even speculate about Spitzer.

This very, very weird Andre Rieu pops number reminds me of Boris Yeltsin more than anything UI’ve ever seen. Pass the Stolni, CT…

congrats ct. did you see any of my notes about our caucus here in austin, tx?

hi ES

Yes’m, I sure did! I swear the Repugs see a Tsunami coming and need a disaster to avert it…!

Rep. Don Young is claiming this afternoon that the Department of the Interior is going to announce in the next couple of days that the the Polar bear is “threatened,” but that oil development in the Arctic won’t threaten the bears’ habitat.

doncha just love it?

Is an Indictment in Rove’s Future?
via Legal Schnauzer by legalschnauzer on 3/10/08

Former Bush Administration advisor Karl Rove said Sunday night that he expects to be indicted by the end of the year.

The comment came in a highly charged lecture and question-answer session at the University of Iowa.

Think Progress reports that Rove’s comment came in response to a question about the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame. “I haven’t been indicted yet, but I fully expect to be by the end of the year,” Rove said.

Rove was “seemingly joking” at the time of the statement, Think Progress reports. No word on whether Rove was asked about his role in the political use of the U.S. Justice Department, an issue highlighted by the prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, a Democrat.

That’s magical.

Good evening Aunt Betsy..)

evening sir. how are you?

Hey! How are you?

ES!

I swear I just heard the riff to the tune above in a car commercial just now.
I thought my player was still running but it wasn’t.
Some kind of SUV, it’s been running all night. the next time I see it I’ll let ya know.

Basically, the Interior Department would consider greenhouse gas emissions at the point where they’re released into the atmosphere, not upstream at the point of production. That means new oil and gas production on the North Slope could advance unchallenged.

So the emissions would vaporize, *poof*, at the source and not migrate…?

Actually, it looks like it’s a double diggs kinda of night.

In a way. Weird, nonetheless. It appears to be a European pops concert for Reiu fans, but I can’t figure out which country. And everyone looks sorta high. Great lighting. Very 21st century. Shostakovich has more resonance with peoples’ souls than music intellectuals realize.

Haven’t been able to get this song out of my head lately-

The Church of Logic, Sin, and Love.

Good morning Pups, Eureka springs.

There’s a shuttle about to… take off, eh!

Nasa video feed

Night shots are so spectacular, saw an Appolo 5 in the late sixties, one of the most memorable experience of my life.

Wonderful thank you.. Daffodils should bloom this week. I am ready for Spring full of kayaking and garden prep.

ooooh! that’s awesome. ears and eyes love it. makes me feel so happy. everyone was having such a good time.

I would love to hear.

Well, I thought I had been the first to Digg it…it told me so…but I don’t know where it went. I think I Dugg Nahant’s Digg after that!
How does that work?

Dam again… how many does that make 3 or 4 in the last couple of weeks??

It’s such a fun playful tune. When I discovered it I was a bit surprised it hadn’t been viewed more in the few months it’s been on YouTube.

Uh-oh, time to slather my ribs… I’ll be back!

Listening and flipping back between that right now. ^_^ It reminds me a lot of my childhood in the 80s when everyone used to televise the shuttle launches live.

*sighs* I miss that. And i’m pissed off that the shuttles are being retired in 2 years with no replacement vehicle on the burner. I have some choice insults for the Shrub Admin for severely underfunding NASA.

Mmmmmm ribs. Might be a nice enough day to crank up the grill tomorrow.

I have some choice insults for the Shrub Admin for severely underfunding NASA.

Bush is science challenged, to say the least…

NASA TV was my fav till the cable co. nix’d it

Greenwarrior, wanted to say that your post to Wigwam was so much more apt than mine… I’m still seething at the generalisation.

Quebecois, thank you for the heads up on the shuttle launch…T-minus 20 minutes…it’s a good, clear night here, so I should be able to see it going up.

I still have it. Never watched a night launch before. But there is no countdown clock on screen..

There’s no doubt of it there. Total lack of imagination and curiosity, which is integral to science. There’s reasons I’m partial to science fiction to t his day. Part of it is that curiosity. I hate seeing those things completely ignored or mocked in so many ways. What’s wrong with trying to see more about the world or find out how it works? Or imagine a world with a different twist with technology aiding the change of humanity?

I’m one of the “Why not?” Types. ^^ Drove my teachers BATTY.

Good night dear friends.

the lines were long to vote for the primary, so i took it upon myself to explain why it was important to come back later and caucus (more delegates for your candidate) and how it all worked. i figured our precinct would go for obama and so that even tho i was non-partisan talking to people waiting to vote in the primary, that we’d get more delegates for obama the more people came to the caucus. when i had to go at noon, i trained others to take my place and people kept doing that all day long.

usually we have maybe 30 people at a precinct caucus. we had 728 this time! i worked at the caucus signing up potential delegates and then helping with the count. 69 delegates for obama, 34 for clinton. and yours truly is a delegate to the county convention march 29.

i had an absolute blast talking to people in line all morning. even tho many people had voted in every election, they’d never been to caucus before and there were some young brand new voters too. and some crossovers there to game the system.

republican caucus had 30 or so to our 728.

{{{TexBetsy}}}
Goodnight.

Nice you still have nasa tv. no counter on the web cam either.

Aloha, Tex! I wish ya pain free sleep…!

it’s a good, clear night here, so I should be able to see it going up.

Where are you located?

The shuttle is scheduled to launch at 2:28, in about an hour.

Nite Tex, sleep well.

Bonne nuit, Betsy, je te souhaite de beaux rêves.

thanks y’all.

merci Q

Ooh, them ribs looked so good, and, tender, several bones fell out when I lifted the rack…!

I’m in Tampa, and we can usually see them pretty well if the sky is clear…I’ll try to confirm the time.

Yeah! One man not keeping his pants zipped up in the headlines and all of a sudden all men should zip up their lips. feh!

send me pix and i’ll put them on snack for tomorrow!

T minus nine minutes hold, the hold is 45 minutes.

g’night betsy. see you and wdd and whatever other central texas pups make it to lunch thursday. disclaimer: even tho we’re in texas, we are not going to a bbq place. this time.

Not all men. Just 95% of them. Their lips, I mean.

Thanks so much for the link!

(delurk) I miss NASA TV too :-( MSNBC said a few minutes ago that the launch is at 0228 EST.

I wish I could, my teen daughter destroyed two digital cams, one within 8 hours… And numerous cell phones I might add…!

Gulf War illness ‘chemical link’
BBC News - 4 hours ago
There is evidence linking chronic health problems suffered by Gulf War veterans to exposure to pesticides and nerve agents, US research has found.

Wowzers! Incredible. Congratulations on being a delegate. I love hearing the first hand reports like this, greenwarrior. So much more authentic than reading it on MSNBC or another news agency. Dems can’t lose this November, regardless of the Spitzer mess.

How sweet it is! Frog march that perp all the way to the jail house.

Liberty is a lovely lady. But if you find yourself enjoying the special delights of her company, she’ll only sweet talk you and take your money. Didn’t you know? The price of Liberty is eternal vigilance taxes.

Somehow I knew you were lurking..)

Great idea, Tex!

yeah, thanks for link, fun!

Heh, if she misses the zed then she lurks, or she’ll be at the treehouse, right LL?

21st launch for Endeavor!
Wow.

Wink ;-)

and not a word on uranium.

God, I hope he got his $4300 worth! (But, perhaps I lack imagination; I can’t see how that could be.)

Just to clarify, wasn’t that the comment made by WigWag?

I’d give my left gonad to ride the shuttle. I was that kind of a kid who read everything he could find on space, I started reading english because of that, there was very little translated to french.

Or bad KBR water.

WigWag?

Yes it was, my bad.

Someone definitely needs to go to jail for that shit, there is no excuse, especially since this isn’t the first time. Bullshit.

I’d be happy just to be part of the ground crew and support staff. It’s become an international front all around since the ISS came into existence. It’s one of those things that bodes well for the future, if we can dig ourselves out of this hole the Shrub has us in.

So many “W’s”…some much better than others. :~)

Does anyone think Waxmans call for the IRS to investigate Blackwater might actually have teeth behind it this time?

Any NASA fans, or aviation fans in general, should check out the Udvar-Hazy Center of the Air and Space Museum Annex at Dulles Airport. I’m right down the road from there, and visit frequently :-)

Simple questions beget simple answers.
No.

I’d like for all the astronauts to sit down in front of a camera and tell us about every UFO sighting they have ever seen in space. I was watching a show called UFO Files, and they said when astronauts encounter UFOs, they have to switch to a top secret communications channel to describe the sightings and what is occurring to Mission Control on the ground in Houston.

What has come out of any hearing we’ve had so far? Bupkis, as far as I can tell.

I’ll have what he’s drinking..)

We can hope. I keep thinking the dem plan is for 90% of Americans is to demand impeachment. Not just those of us on the far left, but the rest of the country. These hearings are quite informative, and people are getting the picture. If not impeachment, a clear democratic majority in congress and the WH for us.

It’s fine with me if the hearings continue on to ‘09, and war crimes become the result!

How are you doing, Eureka? Have you gotten any rain?

I guess you don’t believe UFOs exist. Ha, ha.

Just to clarify, wasn’t that the comment made by WigWag?

Oops. I made the same mistake on the other thread and have been thinking of it incorrectly since then. Thanks for the correction and apologies to wigwam.

should check out the Udvar-Hazy Center of the Air and Space Museum Annex at Dulles Airport.

I’ve been thinking of making a trip down to Washington, if the democratic nominee wins the election( if there is an election…). I want to take pictures, and meet as many Pupus as possible. I would make sure to visit that museum. Thanks for the tip.

Lots of good information. No convictions, true. But each investigation leads to another! Bye-Bye, Gonzales and Rove.

Not enough action, but some good momentum.

I think we are not the center of the universe.

Yes we finally did with intermittent ice and snow.. the river is up!

Quebecois, please do come visit. I’d be glad to show you around the Air and Space Annex. Hit me up via Facebook if you decide to make that trip!

What? Do you know what happened to Galileo for those very utterances?

That would be Pups…

And I was not aware that there’s a wigwam here, I’ll extend my sincerest apology.

Colbert to Sen. George McGovern: “Are you on acid right now?”
McGovern: “You may think I need some, but no.”

HAHAHAHA!!

No salami for a month?

I want to take pictures, and meet as many Pupus as possible.

There’s plenty of pupus here in the Isles, not so many pups, tho…! 8-(

Don’t mention it! I did notice earlier today that someone was commenting under the name “wigwag,” which I feared would cause some confusion.

Well I guess I’m committed to stay up now to watch the shuttle launch…T-minus 27 minutes or so.

LOL.. Okay, let me just say I would bet most aliens wouldn’t find us to be as interesting as we might like to think..)

A few sideways references were made by some of the original astronauts from the Mercury and Appolo programs. As they’re getting older, it might very well happen that they’d fess up to what they really saw up there.

Yeah, damn daylight savings time anyway. I’m gonna be draggin’ ass again tomorrow.

Me too.

Me too, but I’m gonna hit it now. Nighters. Cindy Loo Hoo and Kobe don’t get it at all!

It was the Apollo program, my grandfather worked for NASA during the majority of those missions, at Canaveral and then Kennedy… My mom attended Cocoa Beach HS…! *g*

Busted, I hear ya. It almost feels like jet lag to me with the DST, and working some evening hours last week. Gets harder and harder to rebound, the older I get!

Quebecois…I see you Canadians have raised the seal hunt quota…the shame

Godnight, LooHoo!
{{Loo Hoo}}}

I think they stop off on earth to pick up supplies. Like energy items they can use for fuel, oil and minerals, that sort of thing. Possibly plants and animals for food. Intentional contact with humans is off limits for them for some reason, otherwise they probably would have made contact by now.

I see you Canadians have raised the seal hunt quota…the shame

Not the only thing I’m ashamed of about Canada. Let’s start with my neocon prime Minister…

In the late 50s, I was working at the site of the first human centrifuge in North America. The facility had not been been used for many years. While I was there however some fools came by claiming that they were going to go into space in rockets (basically ICBMs) and used it. Those were the Mercury astronauts.

well then I guess you need to do something about those seal hunts…god knows I have friends who try
