The big story here? Finally a worthwhile contribution from NASA!

News Item:
Kennedy Space Center, Florida -- The push is on to launch Space Shuttle Atlantis one more time, adding another mission before all of NASA's shuttles are retired.

My suggestion...have it land directly over the BP Oil Leak, sink it, and presto - two problems solved at once: A place to retire the shuttle and the leak is plugged.

If that doesn't work? Mix all the leftover Tang from the 60's with some concrete and fill it up with that. (The leak, not the space shuttle.) You know there's a warehouse full of the stuff somewhere.

On the other hand, if you want an opinion on beer or chocolate, I'm your guy!

Topics that get my fellow progressives all fired up that you’ll virtually never hear me give an opinion on: -          Keystone XL  -          Vaccinations  -          Net Neutrality  -          Climate Change  -          Abortions  -          Fracking Some of them are such personal issues and the others require expertise I don’t have. I either prefer to keep my thoughts to myself or at least, not pretend I know things that others have or haven’t figured out...even if I'm not sure they are as sure they've figured it out as they are.  And you're not the only one. Even I had to read that sentence twice to make sure I understood it.

I was going through a tough time recently, and was trying to sort through why, when I concluded that I felt like a napkin ring. Sort of useful but easily done without, not really good for much, and always just kind of there. So after a few days when the thought inevitably passed, and after I'd gotten over my murky self, I realized that lots of people probably felt the same way from time to time, so I decided henceforth that I would endeavor to not to let any day go by without validating at least one person. Honestly, it's not much of a commitment. I like to think I was doing that already.  This should probably be a separate post but it's not totally unrelated. And I'm taking you into a dangerous place known as Jamie World. I may even have written about this before, but it saddens me in the smallest of ways that people who love each other rely only on saying "Love ya!" to each other but can't seem to bring themselves to say "I love you".

Of course, the Republican Congress didn't get anything done last year anyway, so maybe it's for the best

 Things the media seem obsessed with that I just pass over as soon as I see what the article is about:  AI Anything to do with Israel, especially the latest war Abortion Crime Donald Trump Fantasy Football Golf Space of the Outer variety Women's sports (sorry!) On the other hand, climate change applies in terms of my (not) wanting to read about it, but they actually should be writing about it far more often. Interestingly, it seems like national level politicians spend way more time on things I don't care about than the things I wish they would, too.
