Good Morning Inf"o"del!
Couldnt comment yesterday cause I only had read time, and still am not finished. But thanx for again a well picked bunch! I call you "Infodel" instead of "Infidel" because of your ability to gather info.
But what a piece on ole Bionic Boy heh? (UK/Mendip) ... I actually been keeping up with much of this as well, just havent posted anything on it. The possibilities are infinite! :) ... By golly too ... if some species can grow back part's ... we needed to get the recipe! :)
I really like the music compose of that video that PZ Meyers had posted on shagging Ray Radbury ... nope .. dont recall it off hand, but nice music blend.
Real nice post that I was in the middle of link's on yesterday when I had to run, from Demwit on Think Progress piece on SSI being under assault ... believe me ... I have also been aware of this ... again ... the mentality (GOP)to this is old school trickle down economic's, and convincing everybody that they can be investor's, however ... small folk's do not get to invest with the same rule's as big folk's, I'll leave it there. I mean ... I'm better off investing in a kilo of cocaine and cooking it into two for distribution, although I wouldnt do that since it is illegal, just using at as an example of the investor spirit. :)
Progressive Eruptions piece on identity theft made me laugh, only because I pity the person who would be dumb enough to steal my identity. :)
Speaking of ole PZ Meyers ... what a piece and straightforward on the quran burning disraction. I have on "Meet the Press" (NBC tele) in the background, and Rudy"Poo" Guiliani (spelling?) was on there talking compassion for 9/11 victim's familia's, and terror threat's ... I am sure by tomorrow he will be labeled as a racist, nazi, bigot, or similar stupidity from the pop culture masses. I agree with him myself, and I'm not even a republican. :)
But I am a nazi (part jew though) :)
Nice piece to from Daylight Atheism on the gender desegregation wednesday's ... folk's still do that shit after all these year's ... show's you how truely liberated we are in the 21st century, heh?
Have a good un Bud! ....
"Infodel".....cool.
Yes, an artificial hand you can tie shoelaces with -- we've come a long way from the days of Captain Hook.
I bet deep down Ray Bradbury wishes that gal had come along a few decades ago when he would have been better able to take her up on her enthusiasm:-)
The Social Security issue is important because older people vote more regularly than any other group. If they realize that the Republicans pose a threat to their benefits, it could swing a few districts.
