“There has been much speculation as to whether or not we destroyed some, if not all, of the North Korean missiles launched yesterday, in explicit violation of requests from all of the five parties in negotiation with it to not do so. In the interests of the security of the US and the region, we can neither confirm or deny such speculation.”
False Inspiration
It’s a little late for me to mention, but Thomas James has some space-related memories of the nation’s 200th birthday. He, too, was part of a generation cheated by the porkmeisters.
Short Fast
My grilled animals didn’t taste quite as good when I read this:
Other supporters, including Penn, Sarandon, novelist Alice Walker and actor Danny Glover will join a ‘rolling” fast, a relay in which 2,700 activists pledge to refuse food for at least 24 hours, and then hand over to a comrade.
But they still tasted pretty good.
Aren’t these people pathetic? They call us chickenhawks, but they can’t even be bothered to go hungry for more than one day to defend their so-called principles. Are they really so daft as to imagine that anyone will care about this “sacrifice”?
Don’t answer that question.
[Update at 3 PM]
You know, I hadn’t done the math before, but this makes it even funnier. With 2700 people at one “strike” (read: too busy to eat for a few hours) per person per day, this could go on for almost a decade. Yes, I’m sure it will be front-page news every day…
Busy
In case anyone was wondering over the light posting. I’m paying for my holiday weekend by frantically reviewing/rewriting CEV spacecraft system requirements and verification statements to hit a deadline.
Press Conference With Tony Snow
Given the multiple fireworks displays (and no, I’m not talking about last night’s standard entertainment) yesterday, it should be interesting. Scheduled in about half an hour, and 12:15 PM EDT.
Reciprocity
The Church is finally standing up to Islam.
Try, Try Again
We’re going to head up north and see what we can see. Primary location criterion will be clear skies to the north-northeast, up the coast, as far north as we can get before launch time.
[Update about 4 PM]
Just got back. We watched it from Hutchinson Island, on the beach. There was one cloud that obscured part of the ascent, but we saw most of it until SRB burnout. Maybe a pic later, but I’ve got to go get ribs on the grill.
The Difference Between “What” And “How”
A discussion on the slow death of the New York Times as a credible media institution, and why revealing the SWIFT program was so potentially disastrous (be sure to read the comments for relevant analogies from earlier wars).
