- Sore Loser RW Nuttery:
- Great American patriot or dangerous commie? (americablog)
- Twitters From Texas, by Gail Collins (nytimes) A brilliant analysis of the Teabaggers (Aravosis) -- Wasn't the Civil War fought over firstly, the secession of southern states? Are Perry and his counterpart nutjob from Georgia advocating starting a new chapter of the never-really-finished War Between the States?
- Fox News, CNBC and Numerous GOP Congressmen And Other Sundry RW Nutjobs Are Illegally Inciting Protesters to Violence (thinkprogress) -- This kind of shit will continue and the corporate media will continue to promote it and walk all over Obama as long as he lets them get away with it. What form will the violence take when it comes and who will die while Obama pussyfoots about putting a stop to it?
- The Dumb Fuks Who Went to These Various Sore Losers Rallies (aka, Teabag Parties) Generally Don't Know Why They Were There, Except That RW Multi-Billionaire Rupert Murdoch's Propagandist Fox "News" Gang along with His Wall Street Journal, Multimillionaire Drug Addict Rush Limbaugh and His Slimy Ilk, Former Derivatives Trader Rick Santelli & Gang of Used Car Salesmen at CNBC, and Very Well Funded GOP Lobbying Firms Urged Them To Go. This Is All The GOP Has. This Is What the Ultra-Wealthy Elite Puppeteers Who Make the GOP Dance Want Them To Do. That's Why They Do It.
- Environmental Wasting Disease:
- Check in daily to Desdemona Despair (found in side bar). Very well done site on man's effects on the environment. Beautiful, though sometimes heartbreaking, photography.
- Sky Show:
- Lyrid Meteor Shower During Wee Hours of Wednesday Morning the 22nd (spaceweather) -- Go to WeatherUnderground, type in your city, got to bottom of page and click on star charts, adjust time and features on right side of page, imagine holding the chart overhead with the bottom of the chart pointed toward the north. This will show you where the constellation Lyra is and from which the meteors will appear to emanate. -- Find a dark place (preferably free of city lights) to view the 10-20 meteors per hour. Also keep an eye on the crescent moon and Venus, as the moon will at one point pass in front of Venus in an occultation, visibility depending where you're located in the universe. If you're interested in taking in this sort of event, then keep an eye on spaceweather.com for announcements as they are approaching.
- NGC 1333 Stardust (apod)
