I think he likes his job, and wonder how he would have done in the middle ages.
I don't think I'll move to Baltimore. I'm sure the city is quite nice, having somewhat renovated its image in recent years. But maybe I'll stick with hurricane threats in H-Town.
By the way, loyalty such as my own to live in a particular place does not mollify certain property insurance carriers.
That being said, enjoy your terror on the east coast. If you are going to die from the blizzard, might as well let the TV weatherman melt down (so to speak) on the air.
NASA's 2010 Fiscal Year budget = $18.7B and cancellation of the constellation program and end of the space shuttle.
According to budget documents obtained from the Government Printing Office, the national budget for 2007 totals about $2.784 trillion. At $16.143 billion, spending on NASA accounts for 0.58% of this. Compare this to NASA's allocation during the mid-1960s when, despite the pressures of the war effort in Vietnam and President Johnson's Great Society programs, NASA spending made up more than five percent of the federal budget.
For every $1 the federal government spends on NASA, it spends $98 on social programs. In other words, if we cut spending on social programs by a mere one percent, we could very nearly double NASA's budget.
And that was before the current president proposed his current plan, which is 3.8 Trillion dollars for 2011, including a one year further deficit of 1.85 trillion, cumulative to over eleven trillion dollars by 2020, conservatively.
NASA's budget of approx $18 billion, divided by 3.8 trillion dollars = .0047. Less than zero point five percent.
So for those who think we need to be "taking more care of things on this planet," there are your numbers for proportional consideration.
Sting is still one of those people who buy into the Al Gore super-myth that the world's climate is actually governed by a thermostat industrial nations control, not to mention warping young minds with the biggest lie ever created.
However - dude made a good song or two, including this one.
"The Dance Alone" hit occupied my passion for the surreal back in 1990 or 1991. My pleasure to reproduce it here.
On a very strange day before Groundhog Day repeats, I thought I might pull out one of my favorite Jane Austen scenes.
Anyway, if you ever feel insulted, both men and women should pay attention to this withering destruction of Lady Catherine.
I would probably never speak to a person like this in my life, unless pushed to the brink of humiliation, which is exactly the wrong position to place Elizabeth Bennet into.
Okay, so with that, Monday awaits. And I know my homeowner's association does not want to call me about a certain matter of twenty-eight cents. Because if they do...
She opened at Threadgills in Austin, TX, on New Years Eve for Jimmy LaFave.
Here is a studio version of "Postcard" No video, but it sounds great.
You do realize they built an entire palace for her in Las Vegas.
Perhaps you misunderstand. She did not appear in a palace in Las Vegas. They built one JUST FOR HER, and she sang there four nights per week for ten years.
Back to you Bob.
Where is Uncle Joe?
We heard he was moving rather slow.
At the junction.
No sex at all involved with these girls and a very, very happy canine.
Life seems to be more tame now.
<back when vinyl, actual vinyl scraped beneath fake diamond needles.
Time of your life, kid.
But I love the bookstore girl here.
Bogie and Bacall... did it ever get any better?
Now we have Blue-Ray comic books. Not the same.
This kid is so cool. Every mom's gifted child.
I used to play chess. Got good at it too, before I became fourteen and discovered girls.
That sort of put an end to chess, although, frankly speaking now after so many years, relationships are much more difficult than slapping a rook across the board and wondering if you should say, "Queen in danger" or not.
Okay, so here is my little YouTube link
Please ignore my voice-over at the beginner. Extremely lame, but what was I to do that day at 2AM, shuffling videos. Laura Linney was there. But Joe Montegna stole the scene.
Now I am going to yahoo to get destroyed in the beginner's room. At least I have white pieces. I get to start first, before getting obliterated by a seven year-old on the internet.
This just in: it can be fun to get carte blanche with someone else's computer. One can create all sorts of new bookmarks, favorites, desktop icons - such as to one's blog, for instance.
General blog question. Have any of you out there noticed an increase in spam replies to blog posts, often to posts several months old? My guess is those entries show up on Google search and therefore get tagged and shared. Hmmnn.
<-- for some reason, this hilarious film reminds me of me, if I would ever visit New York City.
