  • World's Most Complex Radio Telescope Snaps Stunning 1st Photo of the Cosmos

    Oct 3, 2011 @ 3:13 pm - Palin2012

    After years of planning, construction and assembly, a gigantic observatory billed as the world’s most complex array of ground-based telescopes has opened its eyes in South America and captured its first image.

    The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, or ALMA, is now officially open for business high in the Chilean Andes. The huge $1.3 billion radio telescope, a collaboration of many nations and institutions, should help astronomers explore some of the coldest and most distant objects in the universe, researchers said.

    “We went to one of the most extreme locations on Earth to build the world’s largest array of millimeter/sub-millimeter telescopes having a level of technical sophistication that was merely a dream only a decade ago,” said Mark McKinnon, North American ALMA project manager at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Charlottesville, Va., in a statement. “This truly is a great occasion!”

    Rather than link to the story, here is the direct link to the document that the ACLU was able to obtain. It was ‘public’ but only if you knew the exact url(of course). For you ‘Facebookers’ this ‘might’ be worth posting for distribution. Just sayin’. Ciao’

  • Total Dominance! Red State Straw Poll: Sarah Palin 52.4% Herman Cain 21.4%

    Oct 2, 2011 @ 4:03 pm - Palin2012

    The website Red State ran an interesting poll in September. They asked readers who their first choice was for the Republican nomination for President, then ask who would be second choice through fifth choice.

    On Friday Erickson took to Twitter and used his website to attack Sarah Palin and her supporters on an almost hourly basis. It was rather childish, and as William A. Jacobson pointed out, wasn’t doing his candidate Rick Perry any good. Having dealt with Perry fans, Erickson’s behavior is pretty typical though. In another post Jacobson warned Perry that throwing in with the likes of Erick Erickson will do you more harm than good.

  • Pathetic Post Office Commercial Urges Americans To Go Low-Tech

    “A refrigerator has never been hacked. An on-line virus has never attacked a cork board.” — from United States Postal Service TV commercial urging people to use mail.

    Right. And a buggy whip has never had a broken transmission–so why don’t we junk our cars? Really, that was the kind of pathetic logic on display in the USPS TV commercial that aired during today’s Fox News Sunday.
